MY SPA IS TOO
HOT IN SUMMER!!
Many people would like to reduce the normal
running temperature of their spa, which is usually
38º or 39º in winter to 26º or less in summer.
All spas are supplied with an efficient heater, made more
efficient with the insulation around spa. This is what spas
are all about - HOT WATER and the therapeutic effects
of hot water and massage jets.
Manufacturers make no attempt too supply a system that cools water.
Please consider this......
a) In the winter your spa gets cold because the air temperature is cold. To combat
this we heat the water and keep the spa covered when not in use. If the spa is
turned off and the ambient temperature is 15º, eventually the spa will lose heat until
it too is 15º.
b) In the summer the same applies – you can turn the heater down, even turn the
pump off, but if the daytime temperature is 38º - 42º then the spa will also remain at
that temperature.
Here are a few suggestions......
The quickest way is to change the water. However, eventually even this new water
will also heat up to the air temperature and need changing to cooler water.
Turn the heater down, but you also have to reduce the pump running times as well,
as the pump alone adds heat to the spa. Pump running time is controlled by both
heating and filtration requirements. Some control can be obtained by adjusting the
sleep times to longer periods and the on times for night running where the ambient
temperatures are cooler.
If the nighttime temperature is low, leave the cover off the spa to let heat escape,
but put it back on during the day to keep heat out. Make sure the spa is shaded from
direct sunlight.
You are lucky to live in a semitropical climate, but when it is hot EVERYTHING
IS HOT, unless air conditioned.
