What Temperature Should My Spa Pool be at and Why?

Thursday, December 12, 2019

Before you start enjoying all the benefits of your new spa, you’re probably wondering what temperature it needs to be set at.

Don’t worry! At MySpa Sydney we’ve got you sorted with all the details. Here’s everything you need to know about your spa pool temperature.

What is the recommended temperature setting for my spa pool and why?

Firstly, the recommended temperature for your spa pool depends on your personal preference and the manufacturer’s guidelines (check these first!). However, the maximum temperature most spas have is 40 degrees Celsius (104F). This is for health and safety reasons. If you have an outdoor spa, the recommended temperature setting is around 36-37 degrees Celsius (96-98F).

When you start using your spa, it might be handy to try out a few different temperatures to find that sweet spot that’s just right for you. If you’re a new spa owner, start by setting the temperature around 37 degrees Celsius (average body temperature) and then start increasing it until you find the right match for your body. Also depending on your location, you might want the temperature to be a bit cooler, especially if it’s in the middle of an Australian summer.
