Use and Care Manual

18. WARNING: The use of alcohol, drugs, or medication can greatly increase the risk of fatal hyperthermia in hot tubs or
spas.
Despite the popular image of people in spas drinking wine or other alcoholic beverages, DO NOT use alcoholic
beverages before or during spa use. Alcohol is a depressant which causes slowed reflexes and drowsiness, especially
in conjunction with the relaxed soaking in hot water. This can lead to sleep or unconsciousness and possibly result in
drowning. Using your spa with other people who are also drinking is not a preventative measure since they are likely
to become similarly affected by the combinations of alcohol and hot water soaking.
Soaking in hot water causes changes in the circulatory system, such as enlargement of blood vessels near the skin.
Therefore, people with a medical history of heart disease, circulatory problems, diabetes, high or low blood pressure
should check with their physician before using spas. Additionally, people taking medications causing drowsiness,
such as tranquilizers, narcotics, antihistamines, or anticoagulants should not use spas without asking their physician.
19. If equipped, broken or missing drain covers should be replaced immediately.
Accidents can occur when long hair or a body part is trapped by suction from a drain or outlet whose cover is broken
or removed. Children are particularly vulnerable, and they should be warned against danger.
20. WARNING: Do not use electrical appliances in or around your spa. Do not use glass or other breakable items in or
around your spa. Do not remove spa cabinet panels and attempt to make repairs. Do not attempt electrical repairs.
Retain a certified licensed electrician.
21. This spa is for residential use only. It is not intended for commercial use.
