4 Incredible Ways To Use Your Hot Tub In The Summer

Birds chirping, children laughing, water splashing. You guessed it – those are the sounds of summer!

Finally, we can say goodbye to winter woes and enjoy the beautiful sunshine! If you’re the proud owner of a hot tub, chances are that you made good use of it in the cold and snow.

But don’t fret, just because the summer heat has arrived doesn’t mean you have to shut down your spa just yet. There are a few ways you can use your hot tub throughout the summer – despite the heat!

Keep reading to find out how you can use a hot tub in the summer and just how it can benefit you.

1. Enjoy a Cooler Soak

Despite the name, hot tubs don’t always have to be hot. Although they are usually kept at temperatures between 99° F to 102° F, with a maximum heat of 104°F, you can lower the temperature for summertime use.

Simply lower the temperature of your hot tub to roughly 85°F or turn off your heater altogether. Leaving your air jets running will help circulate the cool water throughout your hot tub quickly and efficiently.

Leaving the cover on while not in use can also help keep the water from being warmed by the sun during the day.

2. Help Your Body Heal

The beautiful weather can surely encourage just about anyone to head outdoors and get active. With more incentive to go outside, chances are that your body might take a toll from all of the added physical activity.

Activities such as hiking, soccer, cycling, golf, and baseball, among many others, can put a strain on your body. The added pressure and overuse of your muscles and joints can result in aches, pains, exhaustion, and sometimes even result in a minor injury.

You don’t have to let these aches and pains slow you down. Spending time in a hot tub can help your body relax and unwind after a day of physical activity and exercise.

Let the warmth and massage of the jet-infused water relieve tension and soothe sore muscles, while the buoyancy relieves pressure from your body.

3. Go For A Dip At Night

Once the sun sets, lower evening temperatures set in to create a perfect opportunity for a long and relaxing soak in the hot tub, especially at the end of a long day! The cool breeze and starry night sky can take your already luxurious and rejuvenating backyard experience to an entirely new level of enjoyment.

Not to mention that hot tubs are notorious for helping improve sleep patterns. The warmth and massage from the water can help relax your body and mind, all while relieving tension and helping increase mobility and flexibility.

This can help improve how you prepare for sleep, how quickly you fall asleep, and how long you stay asleep.

Now, that sounds like something we can all benefit from!

4. Entertain Family And Friends

Summer is perfect for spending quality time with your loved ones. Regardless if it’s a day at the beach with friends, or a backyard BBQ with your family, the beautiful weather encourages us to spend quality time with those we love.

So, why not take the quality time into the hot tub? You can all relax at the end of the day, catching up and creating valuable memories – all while the hot tub does all the work.

You can even do some planning and throw an elaborate backyard hot tub party!
