Your hot tub can become an essential part of your daily routine, and that's why it's important to always have it ready and set to the perfect temperature . Determining the optimal temperature is key to getting the most out of your hot tub experience . Considering several important factors, we've compiled some frequently asked questions about water temperature and answers from our technicians:

What should be the ideal temperature of a hot tub ?

The ideal temperature varies from person to person and depends on factors such as age and health, but it is recommended to keep the hot tub below 40ºC. Higher temperatures can be dangerous and cause heat stroke. The best option is to set the hot tub temperature to 36.5ºC for a calm and comfortable bath , ideal for adults for periods of up to twenty minutes.

Tips for adjusting the temperature:

Start with a low temperature, around 36ºC or 37ºC, and gradually increase until you reach a comfortable level. If you feel uncomfortable or too hot after a few minutes, this is a sign that the temperature is too high for you. Consider the needs of all users, especially when the hot tub is shared with friends or family.

How long does it take for a hot tub to heat up?

After filling the hot tub for the first time, it will take 18-24 hours for the water to reach a temperature of 36.5ºC.

When should I change my usual temperature settings?

You can adjust the temperature according to your needs. For example, reduce the temperature when you are not going to use the hot tub for a few days, such as during a vacation, or after exercising to avoid overheating. It is also advisable to adjust it according to the outside temperature. Remember that all Aquavia Spa hot tubs are designed with high- quality materials that help maintain the water temperature.
