WARNING -
The use of alcohol, drugs or medication can greatly increase the risk of
hyperthermia in hot tubs and swim spas.
The use of alcohol, drugs, or medication before or during swim spa use may lead to
unconsciousness with the possibility of drowning.
Persons using medication should consult a physician before using a swim spa since some
medication may induce drowsiness while other medication may affect heart rate, blood pressure,

Never operate any electrical appliances from inside the swim spa or while wet.
