Are hot tubs bad for your health? Thinking of purchasing one..?!


Question: Are hot tubs bad for your health? Thinking of purchasing one..?
I have heard they cause health problems. What do they do?
I am an overall healthy person.
I know you can't go in them when you are pregnant.

We go to the swimming pool alot and all we do is sit in the hot tub, so we're thinking its a good investment.

What is your opinions on them?

Answers:

No they arent bad for health IF you keep it clean. You need to read all the proper instructions for maintaining a clean hot tub. It requires doing work to keep it clean.
A better option is to buy a large tub and install it in your bathroom. Because you drain it each time and clean it like any other tub/shower.



Hot tubs that aren't properly cleaned are bad for your health. So like hotel hot tubs are notorious for this.

If it's just you using it and you'll be fine.



The heat raises blood pressure so it's not advised for anyone with high blood pressure to use one. You also must keep them scrupulously clean or they breed bacteria.



long as you don't stay in them for hours at a time, no. if you have heart conditions, i wouldn't stay in for more than 30min.
