What water temp is most common?
« on: February 10, 2014, 08:22:14 am »
I personally enjoy my tub best at 100F and she likes it hotter at 102F.  My High Life HS controller actually will max out at 104 at least so I thought until recently...My HS sales guy showed me that if you hold the temp up button for 4-5 seconds the display turns red and reads 105 and then again it will go to 106 but no higher. I was amazed that someone would actually enjoy a tub that high??? He explained that in other countries and climates they like it HOT! Is this even healthy? He also showed me that the screen reverses as well which I had no idea of this either by holding the back button for 4-5 seconds. When the water temp is 102 I'm constantly getting up and sitting on the entry step to cool down often during a soak.

I like about 140-150 but I go out and jump in the snow or lake to cool off depending on the time of year. Oh you mean hot tub water. Sorry I am thinking sauna. The bottom bench is about 120 and the top about 160 depending on how much water I throw on the rocks.

Now that is just depressing, my Sauna heater is broken at the moment and we have 3 inches of snow in the forecast for tomorrow night (the last month we have experienced the most snow we have had here in years, 3 inches is a once in 30 year event around here, and this will be the 2nd time for it in a month)

Sauna the same as Tman (no snow though)...hot tub, 106
If you can't sell it on eBay, it may not even qualify as landfill.

Wow! 106!

No way I could stay in that for very long.

The temp I use depends on the time of year, but usually my max top setting is for 102 unless it's summer. I keep a temp where I can stay a good ten to fifteen minutes or more.

I also have checked my indicated temp with a calibrated thermometer, and cannot help but wonder if people using 106 are on the money.

106 is so hot to me that I have to get out after a minute or two. I start feeling lightheaded and worry about passing out. When on vacation, my son stayed in a quite hot tub and did pass out. No injuries or issues, but that is scary to me since I am often in the tub by myself. What if I passed out and slipped under the water?

I have a 2013 HS sovereign and have seen 107 on my display, i actually got in the water, it cooled down to 103 quick enough, but would i ever want it at 107, absolutely not.  I prefer 103 or so in the winter, 98 in the summer.

100 in the summer and 102 in the winter.  I saw 105 on mine this summer and it was rather warm and got in and it cooled down to 102 after a while. Would I want it that hot all the time..nah.

When we got our in the summer 40°C was far too warm.
In the winter we find 40°C, nice, but depending on the ambient temperature and how long we stay in.

Wow! You guys don't like to soak very long. If we had our tub over 96*, we wouldn't think we were getting our money's worth. We pour a glass of wine, get in, then an hour and a half later, we get out, totally relaxed; not exhausted from the heat. I tried running the temp up to 99*-100* and the longest I could stay in was a few minutes. That's just not worth having one, but then that's the wife and I, and I'm glad we are on the same page with the heat tollerance.
