The dog days of summer are here, but if you think the warmer weather means it’s time to cover up your spa for the season, you’d be mistaken. The summer is a great time to get outdoors and into the spa. By making a few simple adjustments to your normal spa routine, you can continue to comfortably enjoy your spa all summer long!

1) Soak in the morning or late evening

The morning and evening tend to be the coolest parts of the day. An early morning session in the spa will allow you to gently ease into your day just as the sun begins to rise. An evening soak after the sun has set allows you to unwind from the day as you lounge back and enjoy the glowing luminescence of your spa’s built-in LED lighting after the heat of the day has broken.

2) Turn your hot tub into a “cool” tub

If you still want to enjoy an afternoon jet action massage in your spa, consider turning down the heater. This will allow your spa’s water to easily adjust to the external temperature, bringing the water temperature down, and turning the hot tub into a mini pool for full family fun! With spa models that fit up to 7 people, you’ll be able to find the perfect spa for you and your family to enjoy and to bring the summer fun outdoors.

3) Open the umbrella!

The Cabana Suite from Dream Maker Spas has the built-in advantage of an overhead umbrella to keep you cool and shaded all throughout the summer season. For added protection against the sun’s rays, don’t forget a hat and sunglasses.
