The Cottage Maven Writes: "With Ontario deep in a heatwave, we’ve been using our Softub in a whole new way—set to 80°F, it’s now our own personal cold tub! 💦 It’s become the ultimate lake alternative, especially when the water’s too warm to refresh.
Funny enough, our Softub sits on a little deck that used to be a garden. When we added a sliding door to the garage family room, we swapped flowers for deck boards—and it turned into our favourite summer hangout spot. Cool water, a killer view, and total peace. What more could you want?"
While many Canadians rely on their Softub during the cold winter months, summer is just as ideal for soaking—just ask the growing number of users who are embracing “cool tub” mode. People like The Cottage Maven have turned their Softub into the ultimate summer chill zone, setting the temperature to a refreshing 80°F and relaxing outdoors, away from the crowded lake or scorching heat. Whether it’s post-garden, pre-BBQ, or a lazy afternoon cooldown, Softub isn’t just a winter retreat—it’s a year-round self-care solution.

As parts of Ontario and Quebec bake under Canada’s first primary summer heat wave, people are looking for new ways to cool off and unwind without damaging the power grid or their budget.
With humidex values exceeding 40°C, Environment Canada has issued heat warnings for most of southern and eastern Ontario, as well as southern Quebec. From Windsor to Toronto to Gatineau, it’s become clear that air conditioning alone isn’t cutting it.
Enter the surprising hero of the summer: Softub Spa
What is Softub?
If you’ve never heard of it, the Softub is Canada’s #1 non-inflatable, portable hot tub—and it's a total game changer for year-round wellness, especially during a heatwave. Unlike inflatable tubs or bulky acrylic spas, Softub is lightweight, rolls into place, plugs into a standard outlet, and doesn’t need permanent plumbing.
And best of all? You can use it as a refreshing cool tub in the summer months.
How Softub Beats the Heat
During extreme temperatures, Softub easily transitions from cozy spa to chill plunge:
-
Turn down the temperature setting to let the water naturally cool down
-
Soak early in the morning or after sunset for maximum comfort
-
Add shade or a few ice packs for an ultra-cold experience
-
Enjoy a quiet, filtered cool-down to beat the heat!
Whether you’re in a condo with a balcony, at the cottage, or looking to transform your backyard, Softub offers the versatility no other hot tub can match.
Who Chooses Softub?
-
Cottage owners are seeking a straightforward setup and takedown process.
-
City dwellers who don’t have room for hard-shell spas
-
Wellness seekers who want hydrotherapy made simple, without hassle
-
Budget-conscious homeowners who still want quality
Whether you're battling the heat in Toronto or kicking back lakeside in Saskatchewan, Softub lets you soak on your terms.
Final Word: Don’t Sweat the Summer—Soak It In
Softub isn’t just a winter spa—it’s a year-round relaxation oasis (tool) that adapts to Canada’s wild seasons. During a heat wave, it becomes a private plunge pool. In the fall, it’s a cozy retreat. In winter, it’s the warm oasis you dream of.
And because it plugs in, rolls through doors, and needs no contractors, you can start enjoying it now—no waiting, no permits, no stress.
