Recommended water temperature for hydrotherapy is higher than the recommended
temperature for aquatic exercise.
To Reduce the Risk of Injury
. The water in an Aquatic Fitness System should never
exceed 104°F (40°C). Water temperatures between 100°F (38°C) and 104°F (40°C) are
considered safe for a healthy adult. Lower water temperatures are recommended when using the
