7 Person Jacuzzi

What is a jacuzzi?

A jacuzzi or hot tub is a large tub filled with water that is used for hydrotherapy & relaxation. As a rule, they are generally larger than a standard bathtub so more than one person can use them individually, as a couple, or in a group setting. The majority of users enjoy a hot tub temperature range between 36°C and 38°C when using them indoors.

How many minutes should you stay in the jacuzzi?

When you use a jacuzzi you should ideally be in the tub somewhere between 15 and 30 minutes. Naturally, this would depend on many factors such as water temperate, indoor or outdoor setting temperatures & how hot the water is inside the jacuzzi. To get the main health benefits here at Royal Recovery Rooms we suggest 15 to 30 minutes to be the ideal timeline for a soak in the hot tub.. 

How to use our jacuzzi?

  • It’s best to avoid very hot water & the maximum setting should be only 40°C (104°F)
  • When using the jacuzzi it makes you sweat and can lead to you being dehydrated. Drink plenty of water before or during your soak in our hot-tub
  • We spoke on this above only stay in for the minimum amount of time specifically if you are not used to the jacuzzi. 10 – 15 minutes is fine. 
  • If you notice any symptoms like lightheadedness, dizziness, nausea, skin redness, or shortness of breath it’s time to exit the jacuzzi immediately. 
  • Wash yourself after you use the jacuzzi. It is not recommended to go from the hot tub to ice-cold water or cryotherapy as it can spike blood pressure. 

When to avoid jacuzzi

If you have any concerns about using a hot tub, it’s worth having a conversation with your doctor. This is especially important in the following situations:

  • If you have a heart condition while soaking in the jacuzzi it can decrease or increase heart rate depending on the situation. While it may be beneficial in some instances for cardiovascular health we always suggest asking your doctor first should you use the hot tub. 
  • You should voice the jacuzzi during pregnancy. It is very easy to get overheated during pregnancy which in turn can be harmful to your body & your baby.
  • When you have skin rashes & skin injuries it’s best to not get into the jacuzzi. You should wait until cuts, open wounds, sores or rashes completely heal before jumping into a hot tub. It will only cause more irritation or infection. 
  • The hot water in the jacuzzi is known to lower your blood pressure, so if you feel faint or get lightheaded very easily it’s best to avoid the hot tub in case it causes any triggers.
  • This one is common sense really but if you have a urinary tract infection (UTI) exposing yourself to hot water may cause severe irritation & cause your symptoms to worsen.

Royal Recovery Rooms always suggests consulting your medical professional before using our equipment.
