How long can you stay in a hot tub? And other jacuzzi questions you always wanted answered...

These are the best tricks you should know when you go in your jacuzzi

Entering a hot tub is a delightful experience, offering relaxation and rejuvenation. However, there are some important tips and tricks to keep in mind to ensure your hot tub experience is safe and enjoyable.

Here are some frequently asked questions about best practice when in a hot tub, and the best tricks you should know when you go in your jacuzzi.

How long should you use a hot tub for?

The duration of your hot tub soak depends on the water temperature. An average adult should spend at most between 15 and 30 minutes in their hot tub at a time. If the water temperature is 40°C (104°F), the maximum safe time is 15 minutes to prevent overheating. For water temperatures of 35-37°C (95-100°F), you can safely stay in the hot tub for up to 30 minutes. In no case is it okay to stay in the hot tub for two hours straight.

Can you put your hair underwater in a hot tub?

To protect your hair from the potentially damaging effects of pool chemicals used to keep the hot tub clean, it’s essential to tie up your hair before entering the water. Stray strands of hair can quickly clog filters and compromise water quality. By tying up your hair, you not only protect your locks but also maintain the efficiency of your hot tub’s filtration system.

Should you shower after a hot tub?

Yes, it’s crucial to shower after each hot tub session. While hot tub water contains chemicals like chlorine or bromine to kill harmful bacteria and keep the water clean, these chemicals can cause skin irritation if not washed off. Showering helps remove any residual chemicals from your skin, especially important for those with sensitive skin.

Should you shower before going in a hot tub?

Practicing good personal hygiene before and after hot tub use is essential for minimising the risk of urinary tract infections (UTIs) and maintaining overall cleanliness. Thoroughly washing the genital area with mild soap and water before entering the hot tub can help remove any bacteria, reducing the likelihood of infections.

By following these tips and tricks, you can make the most of your hot tub experience while ensuring safety and hygiene. Remember to shower after each session, limit your soak time according to water temperature, tie up your hair to protect it from chemicals, and practice good personal hygiene to keep yourself and others safe. With these best practices in mind, you can enjoy countless relaxing moments in your jacuzzi without worry.
