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

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

Yeah but you are talking about hot tubs and they are talking about hot tubes so maybe the rules are different like the tube is really hot but is a poor thermal conductor. Or they misspelled tub and they really like burning themselves...... lots of options for interpretation here.

"Hot tube" seems like a slang for some kind of drug device. Like a weird bong or something

It could also be a gross sex term for a dick. During sexy time someone could say to me "yeah give me that hot tube" and I would be immediately less interested in sex.

Sounds like something that you would find in a bargain-bin romance novel.

"His hot tube pulsated, throbbing with motion" or something like that.

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.

In mother Russia, Sauna evaporates you

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.

(°F)

To be honest three degrees burn doesn't sound bad. I'm looking at my protractor and as long as you aren't far away from the tub three degrees shouldn't burn that much

Sure but you can only do it once!

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

It's usually 96 if you have a boiler. No issues.
