How often does your spa go over 104 degrees?

[solo]

I have found that I really like the 104 degree setting.  It's now my fave temp.  Leaving my tub set at 104, I find that often it's down at 103 and occassionally it gets up to 106.  

I have a separate "floater" thermometer that I leave in the spa to make sure the temp readout is correct.  And it always is.  

Is this sort of fluctuation fairly typcial?

 Spas will and can vary 1* up or down, least in Jacuzzi's anyway.

That is exactly what mine does if set at 104.

I keep mine set at 103 during the winter and it is almost always atleast that high. If it's at 102, I set it to 104 and wait until I hear the heater click on(about 10 seconds) then I set it right back down to 103 and go inside for about 5-10 minutes.

Temps here in eastern Pennsylvania have been in the 20's of late.  Thought for sure that I would be cranking up the heat on the hot tub during this time.  But I really think 100/101 is hot enough for me.  Maybe I'll crank it up some night just to check it out, but I find myself sitting in the cool down seat a lot as it is during each soak.  And yes, I have a floater themometer, and it matches what the spa display reads.

You should never let the water get above 104.
Please be more careful and take precautions to prevent this from occurring.
Enjoy your spa.

It is so interesting how some people are more tolerant of higher temperatures. My husband loves the tub at 102 and I cook! At 101, I am fine, but that one degree is just too hot for me. We even fight over that....he will hit the spa monitor and kick it up a degree  ::)and think I won't even look at the temp when I get in!!  

My tub holds the temp very well unless the air is turned on and it is real cold outside, it may drop a degree while we soak. It rarely goes over the set temp.

Solo, have you noticed an improvement in your health? I hope the tub has helped because you sure seem to be enjoying it!

Violence is never the right solution.  Although he is directing his anger towards the hot tub, it is simply not worth chancing a hostile encounter.

Marquis Spas are owned by the employees.  This instills a since of pride in their products.  I am sure that the owners/employess would not like hearing that their spas are being subjected to this type treatment.

Keep it below 104.

I never see 106, but according to Dynasty if my tub is at 104, the heater doesn't come on until the tub reaches 103, then runs till it hits 105.  I have to catch it right as it shuts off to see 105

Unless you want it hotter

It's also really strange how you can so easily notice a one or two degree temperature rise (or fall)...
101-102 is just right for me...
Bump it up to 103-104 and I'm looking around for potatoes, carrots and onions floating in there with me...
Just a newbie observance

I thought I read that the heater (in Jacuzzi) doesn't kick on or off until you have a 2 degree deviation from the set temp. Mine certianly follows that.

And I routinely have occasions where violence is the perfect, often only solution. Never in the hot tub though!  

[TheSpaExpert]

Violence only begets more violence.  It is never ending as someone is sure to escalate it.

Talk to one aother.  Try to find common ground.  The hot tub is a great place to reconnect, not intersect.

Ooooh I hear what you're saying...No violence. I just bring him a nice glass of wine, put some nice music on the soundsations (like Andrea Bocelli)..He relaxes in HIS Adirondack Chair, sips his wine and I slip over to the control panel and TURN THE TEMP BACK DOWN TO 101.. No violence...but since I maintain the tub, dump, clean and refill the tub and buy all the chemicals...I CONTROL THE TEMERATURE   ANY QUESTIONS???

No ma'am......I'm a big believer in 101 myself.

That is correct, it doesn't kick on until a two degree temperature drop from set temp. However, It will typically kick off once it reaches one degree higher.
