How to Cool a Hot Tub Quickly?

If you've ever gotten into a hot tub that's just a little too hot, you know how unpleasant it can be. You might be tempted to just get out and add some cold water to the tub, but that's not the best way to cool it down. If you add cold water, you'll end up with a lukewarm tub that takes forever to heat back up. Here's a better way to cool a hot tub quickly.

First, turn off the heater. If you have a gas hot tub, turn off the gas. Then, open all the jets. The more water that's moving, the faster it will cool down.

Next, start draining the tub. If your tub has a drain plug, open it and let the water start draining. If it doesn't have a drain plug, you can use a garden hose to siphon the water out.

Once the water level has lowered significantly, start adding cold water from a hose. Keep adding cold water until the temperature is where you want it to be.

Once the tub is at the desired temperature, close the jets and the drain plug, and turn the heater back on. Your hot tub will be ready to use in no time!

A unique perspective: Quick Add

If your hot tub is too hot, you should turn off the power to the hot tub at the breaker box. You can then remove the cover and hose down the inside of the tub with cold water. Once the tub has cooled down, you can add more cold water to the tub and adjust the temperature settings.

When a hot tub is cooling down, there are several signs that you can look for. The water temperature will start to drop and the jets will become less powerful. The bubbles produced by the hot tub may also become smaller and less frequent. The overall temperature of the hot tub will also start to feel cooler to the touch.
