    75°C is definitely ok for a hot tube for a short session.

      Sure but you can only do it once!

      Seriously, even 75C water coming out of the tap would be dangerous and negligent.

      Temperatures beyond 50°C are an acute risk. 75°C can cause lasting damages.

        Ever been to sauna? Especially the Russian one? There’s no risk if you don’t have heart issues.

          I’m regularly going to a Finnish sauna with >80°C, but air with 100% humidity is not the same as immersing yourself in scalding hot water.

            The Finnish sauna is dry. Russian and Turkish are wet with high humidity.

      Forget 75°, just 65°C (150°F) will give you third degree burns in 2 seconds:

      Most adults will suffer third-degree burns if exposed to 150 degree water for two seconds. Burns will also occur with a six-second exposure to 140 degree water or with a thirty second exposure to 130 degree water. Even if the temperature is 120 degrees, a five minute exposure could result in third-degree burns.
