Active adults of all ages find relief in the soothing water of a hot tub from Dream Maker Spas. Your hot tub’s warm water and massaging action does wonders to relieve muscle aches and stiffness, even reducing pain from arthritis, fibromyalgia, scoliosis and more.

All Dream Maker Spas models are designed to heat water to a precise temperature, so your spa water doesn’t exceed the temperature you set. This is essential for soakers of all ages, as just a few degrees difference in water temperature can greatly affect your body’s responses.

The recommended heat setting is normally between 100° and 102°F, but many first-time soakers choose to set their water temperature at 98°F and then increase temperature gradually over the course of a few soaks until they find their temperature sweet spot.

The same goes for senior soakers, as heat can have a stronger effect on older adults. Water temperatures between 98°F and 100°F are safest for seniors. This temperature range is still warm enough to provide the full benefits of a hydrotherapeutic soak, reducing stress, alleviating joint and muscle pain, improving mental wellness, and leading to a better night’s sleep.

Your water temperature will also depend on the season. When the outside air is colder, you may bump up your spa’s temperature a few degrees to counter heat lost while the cover is off. Through spring and summer, though, you may choose to lower your spa’s temperature so you can enjoy it comfortably.

Finding the right water temperature for you can allow you to safely get more enjoyment out of your spa so that you can experience all the wellness benefits of a hot tub from Dream Maker Spas.
