You might think that since you’re sitting in a tub of water, you wouldn’t get dehydrated while hot tubbing. However, any time you expel more water than you take in, you’re bound to get dehydrated. Even though you don’t realize it, the warm water in your spa makes you sweat just like you would if you were doing another activity in the same type of temperature. Staying hydrated in your hot tub is important and easy to do. Here’s Fronheiser Pools’ best tips on how to boost hydration during your spa soaks this year.
Follow the Guidelines
Dehydration is a big reason that guidelines for hot tub use exist in the first place. Read your manual carefully, but in general stick to these rules to avoid dehydration:- Don’t soak too long (generally, adults should soak 15-30 minutes at a time)
- Keep the water at 104℉ or below
- Don’t indulge in a soak if you know you’re already dehydrated
- Avoid alcohol
- Stay hydrated
