ncspa Posted January 15, 2008 Report Share Posted January 15, 2008 I have a bad back and am very close to purchasing a spa for therapeutic use. I live in central NC and I can imagine great winter nights in the tub. However, I'm wondering about summer use. I'd like to use this year-round (NEED to use it year round!), but I'm wondering if that's possible in warm climates like this. Does anyone out there have any advise or insight? Much appreciated.

B0Darc Posted January 15, 2008 Report Share Posted January 15, 2008 Strangely enough it's just as good in the heat. Since you are mostly underwater it regulates your body temperature somewhat in the same way hot or cold. Now of course you will likely want to set it to a lower temp like 99-100 (personal preference!) but it will be just as good in summer as winter... why it will be even cheaper to maintain that 99 degrees when it's not cold outside and the sun is beaming on the cover Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TinyBubbles Posted January 15, 2008 Report Share Posted January 15, 2008 I have friends in southern NC that use their tub every single day of the year. Believe or not, they keep it set at 104, even in the hot summer months. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I live in Western NC (Charlotte Area) have had a spa outside for a long time it is great use year round, I would suggets a shaded spot due to the rise in summer temp. it could too hot where you won't enjoy it during the summer months even at night. Look for Shade, Good Luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris W Posted January 16, 2008 Report Share Posted January 16, 2008 I'm curious how I'm going to keep the tub from turning off due to overtemp during the summer here in AZ. My pool will go to almost 100 in the middle of the summer. I know that other tub owners have mentioned putting spacers under the cover to allow it to breathe and prevent heat build-up. Any tips on how to keep the tub down to 104? Bags of Ice? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ivieisme Posted January 16, 2008 Report Share Posted January 16, 2008 I have only had mine since December 1st. But here in South Florida it has been in the 80s a lot since then. I have no problem using it. I keep it at 98. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're not worried about a lot of rain, one thing you could do to keep the pump cooler is to leave the panel that covers the controls off of the side, which would allow air to flow in there.
