What temperature should a hot tub be set to in summer? In general, many people set their spa at 40°C (104°F). Personally, with 3 girls who love to bathe, I set mine to 98°F (36.6°C). This way we can soak longer and there is less risk.
What’s the fastest way to cool a spa?
Here’s a fun trick: fill 3 or 4 empty milk jugs with water and freeze them. Place them in your spa a few minutes before use. This cools it down several degrees fairly quickly. When you’re done, pop them back in the freezer so they’re ready for your next dip.
Can the temperature of a hot tub be lowered?
Most spa panels allow you to drop the temperature down to around 60°F, which is considered cold water by most. But as we discussed above, when it’s warm outside, the actual water temperature probably isn’t that cold. Dropping the 60°F plate turns your hot tub into a cooling hot tub that can aid in muscle recovery.
How long does it take for a hot tub to cool down?
A 1.5kW heater puts about 3 degrees of heat per hour into a spa, so typical use for half an hour will lower the spa’s temperature by about 1 degree, meaning it will take about 20 minutes to heat up to recover.
Why isn’t my spa cooling?
To cool your spa, drain some hot water and add clean, cool water to lower the water temperature. When draining water from your spa, be VERY careful to keep the water level above the filter housing. You don’t want to run the risk of running the pump dry!

How do I keep my spa cool in the summer?
Keep Your Hot Tub Cool Lower the temperature of your hot tub and give it time to adjust. You can also add cool, cold water to lower the temperature faster. Running the jets can help cool the water – this works especially well in the cooler evening air.

How do I make my spa colder?
As we’ve already discussed, you can use your hot tub as a “cool” bath to begin with. Chill the water to the desired temperature, either with ice, a refrigeration system, or simply by reducing the heat and waiting. Also, be sure to run the jets, they help cool the water faster.
