Discover The Perfect Spa Temp

Ideal Spa Temperature

When it comes to enjoying your spa, finding the right temperature is key to maximising both comfort and safety, especially for spa users and wellness enthusiasts. The recommended spa temperature is typically between 37°C to 40°C. Here's a quick breakdown:

  • 37°C: This is the average human body temperature and provides a relaxing soak without the water feeling too hot, making it perfect for those looking to unwind and experience therapeutic benefits.
  • 38°C to 40°C: This range offers a more therapeutic experience, helping to relax muscles, improve circulation and enhance your overall sense of well-being.
  • Important: If you have any medical conditions or are pregnant, it's best to consult with a healthcare professional before using the spa to ensure your wellness journey remains safe.

How Long Should You Stay In The Spa?

The length of time you should spend in the spa depends on the water temperature and your personal tolerance, aimed at ensuring comfort and avoiding discomfort.

Here are some general guidelines:

  • 37°C: You can safely enjoy the spa for up to 30 minutes or more at this temperature. It's gentle on the body and less likely to cause overheating, allowing you to stay relaxed.
  • 38°C to 40°C: Limit your soak to 15-20 minutes. At higher temperatures, your body can heat up quickly, so it's essential to monitor how you're feeling to prevent discomfort.

Tips For A Safe And Enjoyable Spa Experience

  1. Stay Hydrated: Drink water before and after your soak to prevent dehydration and support the wellness benefits of your spa time.
  2. Take Breaks: If you plan to stay in the spa for an extended period, take breaks every 15-20 minutes to cool down and maintain your comfort.
  3. Monitor Children: If children are using the spa, keep the temperature at 37°C and limit their soak time to 10-15 minutes to ensure their safety.

Conclusion

By following these guidelines, you can make the most of your spa experience while ensuring it remains safe and enjoyable for your wellness journey.
