Can you have a
natural and effective soak in the winter? Yes, you can have but you have to be
careful and make sure that your hot tub system does not fail in freezing cold
temperature. A winter soak is the most desired experience for everyone as the
physical body gets submersed comfortably in warm water while the cold wind
chills his or her body. The Nordic
countries are mostly famous for using hot tubs and outdoor pools regularly. Hot
tub soak taken after any winter sport such as alpine skiing and alpine snowboarding
helps people to relax their aching muscles and is therefore an integral part of
every popular winter sport. Keeping a hot tub
functional and effective in the winter season requires you to fight against two
things. The first one is that the initial temperature of the water is colder
than what is it in the summer and will need more time to bring the hot tub water
to boiling temperature. The second thing is that if there a slight change in
the heat, the heater may freeze and cause the hot tub to turn off. To keep
running your wood burning hot tub in the winter, you have to devote some more
time monitoring heat generated from the wood hot tub heater and providing it with
more wood to burn from time to time.
When the internal or
external wood hot tub stove produces heat continuously, your hot tub attains boiling
point after which you will have to ensure that a low flame is going on or a bed
of charcoals is there to help the wood hot tub heater produce a minimal amount
of heat. It will be normally decided by the outer temperature as to how more
heat you will need to beat it; the colder is the outer temperature the faster
the hot tub will lose its heating effect. Maintaining the perfect balance where
the quantity of heat energy getting transmitted into the hot tub through the
hot tub is equal to the loss of energy from the tub is something that can be
achieved with experience. None of you will like to soak in a cold hot tub or in
extremely hot tub water as it can only give you a short soaking experience before
your body starts to burn due to excess heat.
In majority of cases
the preferred hot tub water temperature is 102-104 F. All the electric hot tubs
supplied in North America have the maximum permitted temperature at 104 F for
safety reasons. Wood hot tub stoves can become much hotter than this acceptable
standard. So, care should be always taken as hot tub temperature going above
104 F can create a health risk.
