Many hot tub owners wonder if they can enjoy their hot tubs with cold water, especially during warmer months. The answer is yes; our Hydropool hot tubs are designed to offer a refreshing experience even with cooler water temperatures.
Adjusting Your Hot Tub for Cold Water Use
To enjoy a cooler soak, simply lower the temperature using the digital controls on your Hydropool hot tub. It’s recommended not to set the temperature below 24°C to ensure that the water chemistry remains balanced and effective. Additionally, keeping the hot tub cover slightly ajar when not in use allows heat to escape, helping maintain a cooler water temperature.
Enhancing the Cooling Experience
For an extra chill, you can add ice directly into the water. This method provides immediate cooling, making your soak especially refreshing on hot days. However, be mindful that adding large amounts of ice can affect the water’s chemical balance, so it’s important to monitor and adjust the water chemistry as needed.

Benefits of Using a Hot Tub with Cold Water

Post-Exercise Recovery: Cold water immersion can aid in muscle recovery and reduce inflammation after intense physical activity.

Considerations for Cold Water Use
Temperature Settings: Ensure your hot tub’s temperature control allows for lower settings suitable for cooling purposes.
