Anyone on the East Coast Using Their Tubs?

[windsurfdog]

Having dropped my temp to 95 and propping the cover, my tub can be anywhere from 97 to 100 at the end of the day when I get home from work.  Normally, the first thing I do is open the cover.  After an hour or so, temps usually drop to 95-97...perfect for me.  I've been tubbing every evening here in Florida.  And from the sound of everyone else's experiences, our 95 degrees with 90% humidity isn't so bad after all.....

my first thought was "do any of the 100+ degree tubs have the cover propped open?"
We've been lucky in southern Wisconsin...we had 3 days over 95, and now we're back "on track" in the high 80's, with a cold front coming our way.

Let's see...here in Orlando, Fl it's been in the 90's for months.  No, I haven't been in the tub!  Can't even breathe when I walk outside.  Can't wait 'til October when maybe it will be in the 80's...that's a cold front for us...LOL!

So what to you do to your water cappykay when you have not soaked for a few days?

Last Wednesday we gave up...shocked the pool, locked the tub, packed up the kids, dog and parrot and headed for the beach...
The temperature in Ocean City Maryland was 100 but with a sea breeze and ocean temps in the 70's...it was a refreshing break.
I'm looking forward to soaking in the first snow storm!

I don't do anything different to my water.  I changed to economy mode about 2 months ago and I haven't had any problems with the water.  It's a clear as ever.  I continue to monitor the pH and alk and adjust as necessary and add shock.  I'm due for a water change but I'll probably wait until it cools off a bit.

I keep the cover propped open and manage to keep the temp down to 95-98 degrees.

right there with you drewski....
I am also here in sunny(really sunny) va beach. I put the top of my gazebo back on, and when i get home in the evening, i prop the cover open. the dog kept stealing the tennis ball, so i just use my small bottle of ph up. hold the cover up about 8 inches. with out it the tub gets to 103-104. heater is set for 97, but i dont think it has come on for several weeks now.
i think that keeping the tub out of direct sunlight is helping. i still use the tub almost daily, but i agree, 104+ is to much.....especially in the summertime....

Everyone in the East should have been tubbing tonight. The temperature and humidity were at very comfortable levels and the moon was fantastic.

Here in South Florida we are wondering what all the fuss is about.  Temperatures are normal for us and of course we use our tubs.  The night before last I left the spa uncovered overnight, which drops the water temp into the low 90s.  Nice.  But then we had a cool air mass hit us at dusk last night and our air temps dropped to about 80, which for this time of year is quite low down here.  My wife was uncomfortable in the spa until I put the water heater on and warmed up the tub again.  

She is going to have a problem when she goes back up to Massachusetts tomorrow.  And then on Saturday she is going up to Northern NH for her high school class reunion and the temps up there have been dropping into the 50s at night there.  I shiver to think about it.  

I like it best between 85 and 90 with high humidity.

Wonderfully cool in Eastern MA last night, somewhere in the 60s.  Temps in the 80s, clear and dry today...perfect late summer weather and great for evening tubbing.

Did anyone in S.E. Mass or RI happen to see a bright light in the sky a few nights ago?  I was soaking the other night and noticed something create a bright streak and a couple bright flashes in the sky.  I forgot about it until last night when I came across an online video of the same thing taken by a police car dashboard camera.  Weird!
