Keep your Hot Tub Bubbling this Winter

Enjoy Your Hot Tub This Winter: Why You Should Keep It Running

Many people assume they need to winterize and drain their hot tub for the season—but what about using it during the winter instead? In freezing Minnesota temperatures, a hot tub can actually be the perfect winter escape.

Rather than huddling under a blanket, imagine relaxing in warm, bubbling water, surrounded by snowy landscapes. Keeping your hot tub running in the colder months comes with a whole host of benefits—consider it your new winter oasis!

Why Use Your Hot Tub in Winter?

🔥 Escape the Winter Chill & Unwind

✔️ Quickly warm up after being outside in the cold.
✔️ Relieve muscle tension with targeted hydrotherapy jets.
✔️ Enjoy soothing relaxation—perfect after a long day.

💆 Boost Your Health & Wellness

✔️ Helps fight colds – The hot water induces sweating, flushing out toxins.
✔️ Prevents muscle strain – Cold muscles are more prone to injuries. A pre-workout soak warms up your body for exercise.
✔️ Aids recovery – Soaking relieves aches and pains from sports, workouts, or long workdays.

Winter Hot Tub Safety Tips

While soaking in winter is amazing, it’s important to stay safe. Follow these tips to maximize your enjoyment while keeping your hot tub in top shape.

1. Limit Your Soak Time

✔️ Keep sessions to 20 minutes to prevent your body temperature from rising too high.

2. Stay Hydrated

✔️ Drink water before and after soaking.
✔️ Avoid alcohol while in the hot tub—it can dehydrate you even faster.

3. Maintain & Insulate Your Hot Tub

✔️ Use a well-insulated hot tub cover to trap heat and reduce energy costs.
✔️ Keep up with cleaning and monitor water levels throughout the season.
✔️ Change the water before winter hits—draining and refilling in freezing temperatures can be difficult.

4. Adjust Jet Use in Cold Weather

✔️ Turn down the jets or use them less frequently—jets push cold air into the water, lowering the temperature.

5. Protect Yourself from the Cold

✔️ Keep a towel or robe nearby to wrap up immediately after getting out.
✔️ Moving between extreme heat and extreme cold can shock the body, so shield yourself from the icy air as soon as possible.
