The Canadian Standards Association or CSA also requires hot tubs to go no higher than 104 degrees.

What Temperature Are Hot Tubs Normally?

What’s The Ideal Hot Tub Temperature?

There is no answer to “what is the ideal hot tub temperature”. It actually just comes down to personal preference. The human body has an internal temperature of 98.6 degrees Fahrenheit. Many people enjoy a hot tub temperature above body temperature. Temperatures below 98 degrees may feel cold to the touch. Many hot tub models follow similar guidelines on the minimum heat offered, but stick to the maximum of 104 degrees Fahrenheit. Any temperature between the minimum and the maximum temperature is an ideal temperature, you just need to figure out what is the best temperature for you. The location you live in may affect the temperature you set as well.

Can I Turn My Hot Tub Into a Cold Tub?

Many people prefer a hot tub to be colder than their body temperature and that’s fine. Our hot tubs can go as low as 80 degrees Fahrenheit. Many swimming pools range from 70 degrees to 82 degrees. Typically, a pool is colder than a pool. So by lowering your hot tub temperature to 82 or below, you can create your own small swimming pool. If you want a quick way to cool off during a hot summer day, this can be perfect.

What Temperature Is Safe For Kids?

Children have skin that is much more sensitive than an adult’s skin. Because of this, the hot tub temperature should be lowered if children are in the hot tub. Temperatures between 94 and 98 are suitable for children. Be sure to monitor their health while in a hot tub and limit soaks to 5 to 10 minutes.
