Running hot tub jets too long can mean danger to pregnant women and children. For pregnant women, sitting in water which exceeds temperatures of 100 degrees Fahrenheit for longer than 15 minutes "can ultimately lead to birth defects or possibly even miscarriage", according to www.HotTubsAndHomeSpas.com.

Hot tub jets should run until water reaches a maximum of 104 degrees, states www.HotTubsAndHomeSpas.com.
