Is there anyway to supplement the heat in an inflatable spa?
We have an inflatable spa and it only heats up to slightly over body temp but is supposed to go to 104. Is it possible to use a water bed heater or something else to help boost the temperature? We only have regular plugs so can't use anything high voltage.

There is a water heater available in hardware stores. The device is just a piece of heavy duty aluminum or magnesium wire. Use a regular plug and stay away from the coil. You may have to tape the end of the wire to an extension cord. The cord is usually only six to eight feet long. DO NOT use a standard extension! Use some heavier duty such as a 12 gage wire. The people at the hardware store can help you with that.
Remember the coil or little disc will be very hot and may melt the rubber.
OR, Boil some water in some pots and pour the contents before watering. Oh, and maybe turn on the heater from your spa an hour before you use it.
