Simply lower the temperature of your hot tub to roughly 85°F or turn off your heater altogether.

Why is it taking so long for my hot tub to heat up?

Hot Tub Cover As we all know, heat rises. This scientific principle comes into play as your hot tub water begins to increase in temperature. Without a cover to trap the warmth, the warming water begins to evaporate into the air, and it will take much longer to reach the desired temperature.

Why is my hot tub hotter than setting?

Be aware that your hot tub may still register a few degrees higher than your setting due to the warmer, ambient outdoor temperature. Another common cause of summertime overheating is the filter cycle duration settings may be set too high. This heat transfers into the tub water, increasing the temperature.

Friction of the water circulating through the pump and plumbing lines also raises the temperature somewhat. An excessively warm spa cabinet may just need more ventilation, whereas a spa cabinet that’s too cool may need more insulation to help keep the heat from escaping.

Where is the temperature sensor located on a hot tub?

On most hot tubs, this sensor is located just inside of the filter housing. The temperature probe should be pushed down securely into the thermowell, and the capillary should not have any kinks.
