can this product be used in a hot tub?

I wouldn't suggest it, it may leave behind a residue as it sometimes leaves a bit of the color behind and it may clog the jets if it does not dissolve right away

Hello! It would be shower safe but I wouldn't use it in the tub. Hope this helps!

Yes, I have used it in my hot tub for months (I don't keep it in the tub, but use it every few days to check the PH..seems to match the strips fairly well)

Yes, you can. I have it on my fiberglass tub. Make sure it is in a good location where the sides of the tub are flat. Tighten bolts firmly. We have used it for 1 year now.

I'm not 100% sure but I would think that as long as it is mounted properly and far away enough so that it isn't affected by the heat or condensation from the tub, I would think that it would be ok.

Sounds expensive and the tub is so small, you'd have to get a lot of it.... Otherwise it's a great product.... Could be slippery. Good luck.

I am not sure, but be aware that it is quite heavy and because of that I would not try it in a fiberglass tub...cast iron might be OK.

I use it in a pool, but the same applies to the hot tub as a pool. I would say it works.

I bought this for the exact same purpose. and the answer is 'no'. You can't get it to stay close enough to the tub and the heat it produces is not suitable for under tank warmth ie the cable is thin and the heat localized .also the cable is only heated for a relatively short portion of its entire length. I ended up using heat tape with good results.

Our tub is built into the deck and it works well. However, if your hot tub is built into a cement surround, I'd imagine it wouldn't work as well. However, you may contact the cover company and inquire as to what they recommend. Good luck! Happy hot tubbing!

It wouldn't seem to be very comfortable. I don't see why it wouldn't do well with hot water, but i'm not sure the design of this tub would be appropriate for a hot tub. My 75 gal. tub might be 3 1/2 feet across at the longest point, you would have to have your knees up and only one person, but maybe you are short? A tub should be at least 4 1/2 ft. min.. What do you think?

I have not used this product in this way. I seem to vaguely remember, however, that skin irritation resulting from hot tub use is usually a result of actual bacteria and a function of the warmer water used. Try reading this blurb from the CDC (http://www.cdc.gov/healthywater/swimming/rwi/illnesses/hot-tub-rash.html) and consider consulting a physician, unless you are confident that what you are experiencing is a result of chlorine exposure.

Yes. We have tested in it a small bathroom which gets steamy from the hot shower. It holds well. Other customers may be able to attest to this as well. In fact, one of the user photos shows it in a bathroom.

I don't think so. A hot tub has too much water turbulence which would keep it in the on position.

I would guess yes. Try it in a test spot first. It does wear off over time but it takes a couple years depending on how much abuse the tub gets.

I use IT to warm up an outdoor jacuzzi and it works fine. Depending on the size of your hot tub it may take a while to heat it. Since this heater has no temperature control you have to watch it from time to time.

I don't know. My guess is that it's not waterproof or maybe it just needs to set up or dry fully for several days before it can get wet. I would try it again and let it sit for several days before filling the spa. If that doesn't work you may have to look for a product that specifically says it is waterproof and will stay clear in wet applications. Good luck!
