The Best Hot Tub Controls

How to Customize and Enhance Your Hot Tub Experience

For hot tub owners, stepping out of a relaxing soak can be the highlight of the day. Modern hot tubs are designed to maintain the perfect temperature effortlessly, ensuring your spa is always ready for you. With easy-to-use controls, you can fine-tune the temperature, jets, lighting, and even music to create the perfect ambiance.

User-Friendly Control Panels

Hot tub control panels come in various styles, from button-operated menus to colorful touchscreens similar to smartphones. The Hot Spring® Highlife® Collection even offers advanced touchscreens that can be detached and used as remote controls, making it simple to adjust settings while you relax.

Setting the Perfect Temperature

Finding the ideal hot tub temperature is a personal preference. Spend some time exploring different temperatures to discover what suits you best for a full 20-minute soak. Adjusting the temperature is straightforward—just toggle up or down one degree at a time. Keep in mind that in hot weather, the ambient temperature can raise the water temperature even when the heater is off. In such cases, a cooling system like the Hot Spring CoolZone™ System can help maintain a refreshing dip during the day and a warm soak at night.

Customizing Your Hydro Massage

Hot Spring spa jets are designed to target different muscle groups. Your control panel lets you tailor your hydro massage by turning jet pumps on and off and adjusting the intensity of the jets. Over time, you’ll learn which settings provide the best relief for various muscle groups and needs, whether it’s a deep massage or gentle relaxation.

Setting the Mood with LED Lighting

Each Hot Spring spa collection features a unique LED lighting system. Through the control panel, you can select a single color or cycle through multiple colors, manage underwater and exterior lighting, and adjust light bars on specific models. These lighting options help create the perfect atmosphere for your soak.

Adding Entertainment

Enhance your spa experience with an entertainment system that you can control from your mobile device or tablet. Hot Spring spas offer options like TV monitors with HDMI and wireless Bluetooth® technology, allowing you to stream your favorite shows and movies. You can also adjust audio settings such as volume, bass, and treble directly from your device.

Efficient and Safe Settings

Saving your preferred settings is simple with Hot Spring models that feature a Memory function. This allows you to easily replicate your favorite settings the next time you use your spa. Additionally, the Summer Mode option can save electricity by turning off the heater and circulation pump for 8 hours during warm weather.

The Connextion® mobile app lets you monitor and control your hot tub remotely, providing real-time information and alerts for maintenance needs. This is especially useful for frequent travelers or those with vacation homes.

Maintaining Crystal Clear Water

Regular maintenance of your spa water is crucial for a great hot tub experience and to avoid repairs. Hot Spring spas offer intuitive water care with maintenance alerts on your control panel. Your local dealer can help you understand these alerts and choose the right products to keep your water clean and healthy, ensuring it’s gentle on your skin and free from algae, mold, and mildew.
