The Consumer Products Safety Commission has stated that the water
temperature in a spa should not exceed 104 °F (40 °C). Immersion in
water in excess of 104 °F (40 °C) can be hazardous to your health.

Observe a reasonable time limit when using the spa. Long exposures at
higher temperatures can cause high body temperature. Symptoms may
include dizziness, nausea, fainting, drowsiness, and reduced awareness.
These effects could possibly result in drowning.

4.

Do not use the spa under the influence of alcohol, narcotics, or other
drugs. Use of the spa under these conditions may lead to serious conse-
quences.

5.

Always test the spa water temperature before entering the spa. Enter and
exit the spa slowly. Wet surfaces can be very slippery.

6.

Never bring any electrical appliances into or near the spa. Never operate
any electrical appliances from inside the spa or when you are wet unless
such appliances are built-in by the manufacturer.

7.

Proper chemical maintenance of spa water is necessary to maintain
safe water and prevent possible damage to spa components.

8.

Use the straps and clip tie downs to secure the cover when not in use.
This will help to discourage unsupervised children from entering the spa
and keep the spa cover secure in high-wind conditions. There is no rep-
resentation that the cover, clip tie-downs, or actual locks will prevent
access to the spa.
