Why let your hot tub languish without use during the best months of the year? While temperatures nearing the triple digits in the daytime aren’t exactly ideal for a soak in a hot tub that can match that temperature or even get warmer, but there are ways to utilize your hot tub between June and August without making yourself sweat.
There are several ways to use a hot tub during the summer months.
If you are not aware of this, you could be wasting money and precious time with your hot tub before the winter months start rolling in with cold and snow. Hot tubs are fairly customizable home devices and many people don’t realize how they can use them.
To give you an idea of how you can best use your hot tub during the less ideal months of the year, we put together some things you can try with your home hot tub.
Change the Temperature
You may not realize that you have the ability to control the temperature on your hot tub. You can lower the temperature to a more manageable 85 or lower to give the water a more refreshing, cooler feel. And thanks to the insulation on your tub, the temperature will maintain itself pretty well. While this still may not be your ideal for a 95 degree day, on those milder summer days, this is a great option.
Use It at Night
One of the best ways to use your hot tub in the summer is to use it at night. Depending on where you live, it can get pretty cool when the sun goes down. Hot tubs are great for when the sun is gone and those cooler temperatures set in. Plus, many hot tubs have nighttime settings and fun color displays for just such a use.
Take Advantage of Rain
While you never want to be in water or doing anything outside during a thunderstorm, you can utilize your hot tub on overcast or even rainy days when the sun is hidden and the temperature drops. An umbrella can keep you from getting dripped on (or perhaps a mild rain is part of the experience).
