Welcome to our forum.
to 103F and we get in for a normal 20-30 minute soak the temp stays pretty constant and at the 20 minute point your body has soaked in enough heat and people will start moving to higher seating to lose a little heat. Around that time people will say I’m good and get out even. If it drops to 102.5 after 30 minutes and to 102 after an hour that is more or less perfect as it allows you to stay in longer and keep enjoying.

The outside temp has been 50°F. Have never cranked mine above the 100°F mark. For me, 100°F is comfortable. I stay in, with the air jets on and the pump on HIGH until the pump goes to LOW which is 15 minutes. I usually stay in another 15 minutes - at least till I finish my 2nd drink. I have been wondering what temp most people enjoy. Maybe some will comment?
Do U keep the air on during the winter and turn off during the summer? My guy says that leaving he air on all jets during winter sucks the warm air generated by the pump and saves energy. During the summer turn off the air to keep the tub from getting too warm.
Unfortunately, soaking in hot water for extended periods can be unhealthy for certain risk groups like elderly, very young, diabetic, etc. (and probably all people if it's too hot, or if you're in for too long). Your organs start to "cook". To keep it safer, try it at 98F (36.67 C). That keeps it at, or a touch below, natural body temperature. It should feel plenty warm when you get in, especially compared to the surrounding air. It's the jetting of the water that really massages the muscles. Tubby
