Some people may think that a hot tub is only suitable for the cooler weather, but that’s not true. You can enjoy the benefits of soaking in your spa during the summer, even in Florida’s warm and humid climate. You just need to make some adjustments to make your experience more comfortable and refreshing. Here are some tips to help keep you enjoying your spa in the summer season.
Enjoying your spa in the summer season is all about finding the right water temperature. Unlike the colder months, when you may prefer to keep the water at a higher temperature, summer is the perfect time to experiment with turning the heat all the way down for a cooler or lukewarm soak. Keep in mind that due to the tubs insulation and the hot outside temperature, the water may not get very cool. However, even a slight reduction in heat can make a big difference in your overall comfort level.
You can keep your water a few degrees cooler, and protect yourself from the sun’s hot rays by adding some shade to your hot tub area. You can use a spa umbrella, a gazebo, a canopy, or some plants to create a shady spot for your spa. This will help you to stay cool and comfortable while soaking in your hot tub.
You can avoid the hottest hours of the day by using your spa in the early morning or in the evening. This way, you can relax in your spa without feeling overheated by the sun or the air. It’s also a great way to start or end your day on a relaxing note.
An important part of enjoying your spa in the summer season is staying hydrated. Help prevent dehydration and be sure to drink plenty of fluids while using your spa. You can keep some cool, hydrating drinks on hand, such as water, juice, or sports drinks. Avoid alcohol and caffeine, as they can dehydrate you more.
With these tips, you can enjoy your spa in the summer season without feeling uncomfortable. Stay hydrated, and don’t let the summer heat stop you from enjoying the relaxation, and most importantly, the hydrotherapy that your spa offers.
