how to get a hotter hot tub?

"JJ" wrote in message ... We're in the market for a used or new hot tub. One thing we're concerned about is the maximum operating temperature. It looks as if all hot tub thermostats are now capped at 104 degrees for safety reasons. That would probably be OK for me, but for my wife who likes it hot, hot, hot, that just won't cut it. We have an indoor jacuzzi tub now, and she gets that above 110 for her tubs. Granted, there's no heater, so the water starts cooling off immediately - but it's still above 104 after 20 minutes of soaking. We've measured water temps in other tubs and hot tubs and I think somewhere between 106 and 108 would probably be ideal, but at a max temp of 104, it won't be worth buying. My wife's parents keep their hot tub at about 112. Ouch! That's too hot for me. I can last about 5 minutes. So, my question is not about the health effects of such hot temperatures, but rather... Is there a simple way to hack the thermostat on a hot tub to get above the 104 cutoff? I was thinking of maybe covering the temp sensor with some kind of insulating material, but I'm not sure if that's feasible. Since we don't currently have a hot tub, I'm not even sure where the temp sensor would be located. Has anyone successfully hacked their hot-tub thermostat, and how did you do it? Thanks. -JJ It can be done easily by someone who knows such things. They are set that way because of the way the human body temperature works. You might want to read up about it and find the facts before you do something stupid. Hot tubs are limited for very good reasons. People have health conditions that many do not know they even have and go into hotter water than they should and stay there longer than they should. One should not consume alcohol prior to gong into a hot tub. We all do these things, and USUALLY nothing goes wrong. Sure, you've done it, and it's okay. Tomorrow you invite your boss, and he has a heart condition he doesn't know about or blood pressure problems. He dies in the tub. Can you say major lawsuit with possible criminal charges? I knew you could. Steve for some individuals 106-108 has more therapy value 20 min in 106 w a gallon of water to drink while sweating i come out cured! how come the water heater or washing machine isnt maxed at 104 ? same deal as the seat belt or helmet .should be a choice |

Thanks. -JJ on older tubs with analog function its no problem. turn the temp sensor screw counterclockwise bout 1/4 a turn .the hi limit screw turn clockwise bout a 1/4 turn. any tub with a digital system regulated to 104 max is difficult to tweak if do able at all. sensors circuit boards relays are all very sensitive components with precise voltages, milivolt voltages, watts,ohm readings resistors etc. if one little thing is off kilter the computer will freak out. engineered that way. best way is just get an old pre 104 tub |

You ninnies that are afraid of 120 VAC electricity are the kooks of the world. I've been knocked across the room a half dozen times by the 40,000 volts in a TV picture tube, and another half-dozen times by the 450 volts of DC in the capacitor bank of big tube stereo amplifiers, in the previous line of work. I can tell you the caps were worse. That certainly explains plenty. agree! water and electricity dont mix. but the 104 hot tub max is bs for a private one person tub. |

Steve, You must be a liberal. And telling you that some folks prefer to take care of themselves without government intrusion will never sink in. The rest of us, myself included, will enjoy life to the fullest and fight poor government. Now, turn up my hot tub. -- for full context, visit https://www.homeownershub.com/mainte...ub-244424-.htm |
