I have 115 V Caldera Cumberland. I set it at 105. It seems to always read 1 degree less (104) when I get in, and it drops to 102-103 by the time I get out.
I had it set to 106, (when i entered it reads 105) but I ended up sitting on the cool off bench a little too much.
First week, I had it set at 104 , but that wasn't quite enough for me, hence is why I am going to stick with 105 I guess.
Yes, i know if i had 230 V i could do better, but it is not in the cards for now.

My tub has to be 102, 103 or 104. If it is something different from those three I don't get in.

101 with the current weather we've had (20-50 degrees), 99-100 when weather's warmer...we're not looking to make soup, we just want to soak for 30-45 minutes. ;)

103 degrees farenheit.

We have ours set at 104 during these colder months. Temp usually varies between 101-104 depending on how long we are in and if the jets are on or off. Since we just purchased it in October not sure how hot I will keep it come the warmer months. I would think 99-101 would be more appropriate when it is warmer out.

For the winter months, here in the northern Catskill Mountains of NY, we have it set at 99. By the time we get out, usually 45 minutes, the temp is 100 - 101. I can't take more than that. In the summer we keep it at the mid 90's.

It depends on the outside air temp, and how long I want to soak. In the dead of winter, if I need a therapy soak and I have achy muscles 104. In the winter if I want a relaxing 40 minutes soak 101-102.

102 to 104 winter, depends on outside temps. 99 to 100 in the summer.

I've been in commercial tubs at 104 and it hurts. Wife like it cooler than I do.

Summer weather... 97
Winter weather...98
Anything hotter than that is too hot and I'm dying!
But, then my normal body temp reads 96.8 to 97.0 and I'm always hot!
My poor husband packs on the sweatshirts! But, I love cause he never complains.
I know, you're thinking...but, wouldn't a lower body temp mean that you are cold natured? No!
When you have an elevated temp such as with a fevor, are you hot or cold?
Yep...cold. So, I contribute my hot bod to a lower than average body temp!

101 to 103.
As with many, I like it hotter than my wife does...spa water temp that is. ;)

I'm with Bama, I can't stand it above 98 even when it's cold. Any higher, I can't stay in longer than 15 min, and I like to soak for 45min. But when it's windy, I don't go in at all.

We must have been separated at birth...
I don't like to go in if it's too windy either. However, it has to be a pretty cold breeze to keep me out. I have this goofy looking wool tobogan that I wear on my head to keep my head warm. I have pulled it over my entire face! It's a good thing no one could see me, 'cuz I looked like a little dork!

For me it's 101° F. For the wife it's 104° F.

I'm just curious, Gomboman, do you guys compromise or do you soak seperately?
-
I like it 98 or 99 in the summer and 100-101 in the winter.
My husband likes 94 in the summer and 98 in the winter.
We don't go in at the same time very often but when we do I set the temp to 100 when I get in and he gets out when it gets too hot for him.

No compromise in our house WN. I pre-heat the spa to 104° when she wants to use the spa. Otherwise, it's kept at 101° for normal people.

103 now in the winter, and like that temp for 30-45 minutes. It was at 109-101 in the heat of the summer. In the cold weather, I'd never want it less than 102.
I know this does not mean a lot to most of you, but there was ICE all over my cover when I got in this morning! solid ice! :o 8-)
