Featuring the Summer Mode on Sundance Spas
When most people think of hot tubs, they picture cold winter nights and steaming water. But many hot tub owners are surprised to learn that summer can actually be one of the best seasons to enjoy a spa — especially with the smart Summer Mode feature available on many Sundance Spas models.
Whether you’re winding down after a long day, cooling off after time in the sun, or creating a backyard staycation experience, your spa can still become the most relaxing spot in your backyard all summer long.
What Is Summer Mode?
Summer Mode is a smart energy-saving feature designed to help your spa operate more efficiently during warm weather. In hotter climates, outdoor temperatures can naturally keep spa water warm without the heater running as often.
With Summer Mode activated, the spa reduces heating cycles and circulation timing to help prevent unnecessary heat buildup while still maintaining water quality and filtration. This can help keep water temperatures more comfortable during the hottest months while also improving energy efficiency.
Many homeowners in Northern California appreciate this feature during Redding’s long, hot summers.
Reasons to Use Your Hot Tub During Summer
Relaxing Evenings Outdoors
Summer evenings are perfect for soaking under the stars. Lowering your spa temperature into the mid-90s creates a refreshing, relaxing environment that feels more like a warm plunge pool than a traditional hot tub.
Recovery After Activities
Hot tubs are excellent for post-workout recovery, gardening soreness, hiking, sports, or long days spent outside. The massage jets help relax muscles and improve circulation year-round.
Stress Relief
Even during warm weather, hydrotherapy remains one of the best ways to unwind mentally and physically. A 15–20 minute soak can help reduce stress and improve sleep quality.
Family and Social Time
Hot tubs naturally become gathering places. Summer is ideal for entertaining friends, relaxing with family, or creating a resort-style backyard experience.
Cool Water Option
Many spa owners lower temperatures significantly during summer and enjoy their spa as a cool soaking pool. This is especially refreshing after mowing the lawn, swimming, or spending time outdoors in the heat.
Energy Efficiency During Warm Weather
Modern Sundance Spas hot tubs are built with advanced insulation and smart controls that help maintain efficiency all year long. Summer Mode adds another layer of convenience by adapting spa operation to seasonal temperatures.
Combined with quality insulation and circulation systems, many owners are pleasantly surprised by how affordable summer spa ownership can be.
