Spa Safety
The consumer Product Safety Commission (December, 1979)
recommends the following “Safety Rules for Hot Tubs”:
1. Hot tub water temperature should never exceed 104˚F. A tem-
perature of 100˚F is considered safe for a healthy adult. Special
caution is suggested for young children.
2. Drinking of alcoholic beverages before or during spa/hot tub
use can cause drowsiness, which could lead to unconsciousness
and subsequently result in drowning.
3 Pregnant women beware! Water temperatures exceeding 100˚F
should be avoided. Soaking in water above 102˚F (in bath or
spa) can cause fetal damage during the rst three months of
pregnancy.
4. Before entering the spa or hot tub, users should always check
the water temperature with an accurate thermometer. Spa ther-
mostats may err in regulating water temperature by as much as
4˚F.
5. Persons with a medical history of heart disease, circulatory
problems, diabetes or blood pressure problems, should obtain
their physician's advice before using hot tubs or spas.
6. Persons taking medications which induce drowsiness, such as
tranquilizers, anti-histamines, or anti-coagulants, should not
use spas or hot tubs.
