Keeping your spa ready and at the ideal temperature is crucial, making it a key part of your daily routine. Determining the optimal temperature is essential for getting the most out of your spa experience. We've compiled some frequently asked questions about water temperature and advice from our technical experts:

What is the ideal temperature for a spa?

The ideal temperature can vary from person to person, influenced by factors such as age and physical condition, but it is generally advised not to exceed 40°C. Exposing your body to higher temperatures can be risky and lead to hyperthermia. It is best to set the spa temperature to 36.5°C for a relaxing and comfortable session, suitable for adults for durations of up to twenty minutes.

Tips for adjusting the temperature:

Start with a moderate temperature, around 36°C or 37°C, and gradually increase it until you reach optimal comfort. If you quickly begin to feel uncomfortable or too hot, it means the temperature is too high for you. Also, consider everyone's needs, especially when the spa is being used by several people, such as friends or family members.

How long does it take to heat a spa?

Once the jacuzzi is filled, it takes between 18 and 24 hours for the water to reach a temperature of 36.5°C.

When should I adjust my usual temperature settings?

Adjust the temperature according to your needs. For example, lower it if you don't plan to use the spa for a few days, such as during a vacation, or after intense physical activity to prevent overheating. It is also recommended to adjust it according to the ambient temperature.
