My friend just got a hot tub, we were wondering what is the best temperature to set it to for after skiing? idk if it matters at all, but just curious on opinions.

101 degrees is perfect.

I don't have a quantitative value, but definitely cooler than what they usually are. I can stay around 7 mins before I start overheating. It is just not comfortable.

is it inside or outside?

101 for inside

104 or outside.

and yes those few degrees make a difference.

101-104.
My friend keeps his at like 95 to be "kid friendly" and it is a disgusting horrible experience every time.. so.. warmer than that.

I'm probably alone with this, but I prefer 98. You can kick back, relax, and stay in forever at a low temp.

Indoors or out the limit should be 103. After that it's just not a pleasurable experience, we don't usually think about it, but the difference between 101 and 103 is HUGE and you will notice it. I'd go 102 personally (thats what our family keeps it at), that way you can chill for +20 minutes and let the jets do their thing.

I usually heat mine up to 102, and then adjust up or down from there depending on ambient environment.

If you put it on the hottest setting and sit all the way down, a Japanese girl and her boobs will be shaken.

This. This is the highest mine can be set to but sometimes it reads 105. Super gnarly. It's been awesome the last few nights because its been like -20 with windchill

depends on what your objectives are. if you wanna chill and hang out go to a lower 101 but if you want to get in and get out but you want your muscles to relax crank it up to like 103-104 and turn on those jets.

I can't believe all these responses. The day electronic hot tubs were designed to not go over 104 was a very sad day in my life. Its all about the 106

102!! One time I went to a resort in costa rica that had hot tubs ranging from 86 to 140. I can safely say that anything over 110ish is awful. There was nobody in the 140 degree pool, and for good reason. Stuck my toes in for a few seconds and they were already not feeling too good

It is the best when you set it to 110 and ur nipples start to burn off. My ex girlfriend has no nipples cause i burnt them off and i laugh every time i see her tits with no nipples

uh mine ranges from 104-109 its always different but around there, we probably either have a shitty thermometer or like a shitty temp sensor or something idk.

i like it as hott as possible. the burn when i first get in feel sssooo good.

dude it's simple though, just start at like 101 and try each degree up to 104 and see what you guys like best? it's subjective and depends on how long you want to be in/temperature outside as others have said
