This is ridiculous , the nanny state in action. I have owned 2 hot springs spas and used them twice a day at 108 degrees for 30 years. I recently purchased a new HS for $12 k, and was very disappointed to find this restriction on temp . I use the tub for therapy, not sitting , drinking alcohol partying listening to music. I will modify the temp sensors. Its just like all these liberal do gooders want to control everbody, leave me the hell alone.

You are being very disrespectful of Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and the Green New Deal. It will be your fault if the world ends next week from the global warming you cause.
It's just as or more likely someone got scalded at the old temperature, perhaps a child who I'm told have more sensitive skin, and then sued one of the makers of these things so they started shipping them with the thermostat turned down.
I don't think trying to avoid lawsuits and maximize profits is the domain of liberal do gooders. Certainly not exclusively
If you want to blame everything on liberals, it's going to cloud your thinking.
I made my own spa controller and the spa police never showed up.
Blame it on stupid juries.
The manufacturer was sued, the jury (likely democrats) awarded a huge settlement to the plaintiff and as a result the manufacturer lowered the upper limit on their temp controller.
That said, I'd bet the plaintiff was a democrat looking for a quick payday.
Actually it was a few dummies getting drunk and passing out in them. That lead the GOVERNMENT, to coerce the industry into coming up with a temp limit of their own, under the threat that if they didn't, the govt would.
That's true, but having big govt get involved in things like this, forcing industry to do what they think is right, is exactly what libs do. And that is how it happened in this case. So now a guy who likes his hot tub two degrees hotter, is screwed.
He didn't blame everything on libs, but this is a good example of lib thinking. There are plenty of similar examples, like that moron Bloomberg trying to take the salt shakers off tables at restaurants.
Wrong, it was a lawsuit filed by Mothers Against Hot Tubs.
Not today, but I bet he does.
It is a hallmark of libs to want big govt to rush in to fix anything and everything, usually with another law. A good example of that is the recent Smollett fake MAGA racist attack. I smelled a rat from the very beginning, starting with that Smollett had barely a small scratch on his cheek from his alleged racist attack. But Corey Booker bought it hook, line and sinker. He droned on about the "attack" being a modern day lynching and called for a new federal law, to make "lynching", a hate crime. ROFL Now we know it was all a faked, BS, despicable publicity stunt by MulletHead. Has Fox fired that AH yet?
It's a hallmark of conservatives to not care how much people are suffering or being cheated, if they can find any little restriction on anyone's life, especially their own, to rationalize doing nothing.
If one left it up to them, "promote the general welfare" would mean nothing.
Now, you're changing the subject. Isn't that what you criticized Stumpie for? You're getting more and more like him.
