Ah, the blissful soak in a steaming hot tub – a perfect way to unwind after a long day. But before you dive in, there’s an important question: how hot should your hot tub actually be?Here at Hot Tubs Staffordshire, we want to ensure your hot tub experience is nothing short of perfect. So, let’s explore the ideal temperature range and factors to consider when setting your hot tub’s thermostat.Finding Your Comfort Zone: Safe and Enjoyable TemperaturesThe ideal hot tub temperature lies between 37°C (98°F) and 40°C (104°F). This range allows for both comfort and safety:
37°C (98°F): This is close to your body temperature, offering a gentle and relaxing soak.
40°C (104°F): This is the maximum recommended temperature for healthy adults. It provides a more invigorating experience, but be cautious of staying in for extended periods.
Factors to Consider When Setting Your Hot Tub Temperature:
Personal preference: Some people naturally prefer warmer water, while others enjoy a cooler soak. Experiment within the safe range to find your sweet spot.
Duration of your soak: At higher temperatures (closer to 40°C), it’s best to limit your soak time to avoid overheating. You can enjoy longer soaks at lower temperatures.
The weather: On a chilly Staffordshire evening, a warmer setting (around 40°C) might be more inviting. On a hot summer day, a cooler temperature (around 37°C) might be more refreshing.
Who’s soaking? Children and pregnant women should not use hot tubs exceeding 38°C (100°F). Consult a doctor before using a hot tub if you have any health concerns.
Safety First: Important Reminders
Never exceed 40°C (104°F): This can lead to overheating and pose health risks.
Stay hydrated: Drink plenty of water before, during, and after your soak, especially at higher temperatures.
Listen to your body: Get out of the hot tub if you feel dizzy, lightheaded, or uncomfortable.
Limit alcohol consumption: Alcohol can impair your judgement and increase the risk of overheating.
Maximising Your Hot Tub ExperienceHere are some additional tips to enhance your hot tub experience:
Gradually increase the temperature: Start at a lower temperature and gradually adjust it upwards to find your comfort zone.
Take breaks: Get out of the hot tub and cool down every 15-20 minutes, especially at higher temperatures.
Enjoy the company: Share the relaxing experience with friends and family (remembering safe temperature limits for everyone).

EJ Payne helped us move our hot tub, including organising crane hire. Laura in the office was extremely helpful and efficient, keeping me updated throughout. On the day of the move, the team were reliable, professional and courteous. I'd happily recommend and will have no hesitation using their services in the future.

Great company. They have spent many hours this summer refurbishing a very neglected outdoor swimming pool built in 1976. Nothing was too much trouble. I am looking forward to using it daily next year.

Had the latest Palma hot tub from Platinum Spas installed by Adam this weekend at the house. From the point of initially going into the store a few weeks ago, upto the point of final installation we found the service excellent, professional and very informative, something that gives testament to just how may decades the store has been open and operated for.
On the day of installation, Adam was excellent and on completion talked us through the water chemistry and bottles of chemicals supplied to help to maintain a perfectly balanced hot tub in terms of the water quality. We will be taking out a service package with Paynes to maintain the tub across the coming years.
Extremely happy and look forward to many years of total relaxation and mindfulness.
Cheers Adam and the team at EJ Paynes - TOP JOB !!
