SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
EXTREME CAUTION
DANGER – RISK OF INJURY – READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTURCTIONS
Hyperthermia: Occurs when the internal temperature of the body reaches a level several degrees above the
normal body temperature of 98.6°F (37ºC). The symptoms of Hyperthermia include dizziness, fainting, drowsiness
or lethargy.
The effects of Hyperthermia include:
1. Unawareness of impending hazard
2. Failure to perceive heat
3. Failure to recognize the need to exit spa
4. Physical inability to exit spa
5. Fetal damage in pregnant women
6. Unconsciousness resulting in a danger of drowning
1. Read, keep, and make these instructions available!
2. Children should be CLOSELY supervised at all times.
WARNING – RISK OF CHILD DROWNING - Extreme caution
must be exercised to prevent unauthorized access by children.
To avoid accidents, ensure that children cannot use hot tub
unless they are supervised at all times.
3. DANGER: To avoid the risk of drowning, keep the filter
clean and unclogged. Do not remove the suction drain
cover. Do not modify the suction or filtration systems.
4. Exercise caution when entering or leaving the hot tub.
When changing positions, be sure of your footing before
applying your full weight, as water refraction can be
misleading and surfaces may be slippery when wet.
5. Do not stay in the water for extended periods of time. Set
reasonable time limits. Leave the hot tub, cool down, take a
shower, relax, and then return for another stay.
6. The water in a spa should never exceed 104 ° F (40°
C). Water temperatures between 100°F (37°C) and 104
°F (40°C) are considered safe for a healthy adult. Lower
water temperatures are recommended for extended use
(exceeding 10 to 15 minutes) and for young children.
7. Since excessive water temperature has a high potential
for causing fetal damage during the early months of
pregnancy, pregnant or possibly pregnant women should
limit spa water temperatures to 100° F (37 ° C).
8. Before entering a spa, the user should measure the
water temperature with an accurate thermometer since the
tolerance of water temperature regulating devises may vary
as much as 5°F (3°C).
9. Persons suffering from obesity or with a medical history
of heart disease, low or high blood pressure, circulatory
system problems or diabetes should consult a physician
before using a spa or hot tub.
10. Never use hot tub alone.
11. Danger- Risk of Injury-
Replace damaged cord immediately.
Do not bury Cord.
Connect to a grounded, grounding type receptacle only.
