in the winter..for all you that have had your tubs for a bit now..How high do you all normally go in the winter time?
I was thinking about this..right now if I go any higher than 99 I'm toasted within 15 min..can't even make it for 15 min at 100...so I was kinda thinking on what temp to keep it in the winter time...so...amuse me gang!

96 in summer--it usually hovers around 97-99
99 in winter--it's always 99 then...... 8)

102 in the summer.
102 in the winter.
When my spa was new, I kept it at 98 in summer and 100 in winter. Now I can't bear the thought of less than 102.
-
Mine will be cranked to the max. I'm a southern gal and I don't like the cold.
-
Planning on at least 102 in winter.
-
Mine never goes below 102, and that's in Florida, where the heat index makes it feel like 106 all Summer. It is a hot tub and should be hot.
-
101 is what I enjoy in the winter
-
We're just under a month into ours so no winter experience yet, but we run at 101 now and plan on 103 when the snow flies. paul

94 in summer about 100 in winter
-
102 in the summer but on hot days it creeps up to 104-105. On cool nights we like 104. You get use to it be real hot after you had your tub a while. The hotter the better .It helps the aches and pains.
-
keep heater at 99 so that means 101-102 in the summer. keep it at 102-103 in the winter.
i must agree with earlier post. for a cool refreshing dip, get in the pool. a hot tub should be hot.....

I don't have a pool or even room for a pool. ;D
I've been keeping mine at 91. It's refreshing. I plan for the winter time to have it up to 101.

Florida people should not be allowed to comment on anything related to winter. The only thing they know about winter is the annual migration of the American Grey.
for us the answer depends on why we are in the tub and how long we are going to stay. Backpains. If its 15 degrees out, you can just about stay in 102 degree water for an hour, you might find your self sitting on the edge cooling once in awhile. We spent an hour inthe tub at 104 when the temp was 5F with no wind. If we want a therapuetic massage in winter the tub is 104. Most relaxing soaks are at 102. If its real cold and we want to be out a while, we start at 104, knowing its going to cool off as we soak.

101 in summer and 104 in winter

92 in the summer...hard to keep it below 96 though.
100 in the winter.
I live in Maryland.
-
95 in the summer; able to keep it at that temps using tennis balls to prop the lid.... :-)

103 since we purchased our tub in May. My husband would prefer 104. We’re in NY.
I have a feeling we’ll go to 104 in the winter.
We did temporarily set it to 96 when my DD had a daytime birthday party. I really appreciated the “propping” tip I learned through this board. It only took about 36 hours to cool down.
It’s hard for me to understand how people like anything below 100, but then I’m the kind of person that’s always cold. Also, I have rheumatoid arthritis & the heat feels so good for my joints!

Touche! Now that was a good shot....heck, even I agree with ya! 8)

We were wondering about this,and will probably opt for between 96-100. We like staying in a longer time, and we'd be cooked in 15 or 20 minutes if it were any hotter!
-
I'm thinking it will probably win out with 98-100 in the winter time..hubby isn't going to join me often I don't think unless I keep the tub at 98 degrees! LOL (he's not big on the hot water!)
-
Summer 99-100
Winter 101-103
-
I though I would not like the temp over 100 but I got to tell ya when there is snow on the ground 102 is the lowest I keep it. You will feel the difference in the winter.

Lets see when he has real sore muscles from a workout or work, so has an injury of some sort.

99 Year Round!

We keep ours set at 98-99 in the winter and set to about 97 in the summer months. In the summer with the cover on, the temp. will drift up to about 98-99 though. Located in California.
