Hot Tub Cover
A hot tub coveris designed to trap and re-use heat. If you want to keep your water cool, after you drop the temperature, keep the lid slightly ajar when not in use. By not having your hot tub cover completely seal the hot tub, the heat will be able to escape.
While you don’t want to leave off the cover entirely as dirt, debris or other objects can end up in the hot tub, slightly propping the cover-up on a corner by a few inches will do the trick.
Quick Cool Down
If you are in a hurry to cool down your hot tub water, after you have lowered the temperature, turn on the water jets. By letting the water circulate, it will cool down quicker. In a really big hurry? Throw in a couple of bags of ice.
