RISK OF SCALDING: The water in a spa should never exceed 104˚F (40˚C). Water
temperatures between 100˚F (38˚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) for
adults and for children. See section regarding “Adjusting Spa Temperature.”
RISK OF HYPERTHERMIA AND DROWNING: Do not use your spa alone. Long exposure
may cause HYPERTHERMIA (elevated body temperature). Hyperthermia occurs when the
internal temperature of the body reaches several degrees above normal (98.6˚F). Symptoms
include dizziness, fainting, drowsiness, and lethargy. The effects of hyperthermia include:
1. Unawareness of impending hazard.
2. Failure to perceive heat.
3. Failure to recognize the need to exit the spa.
4. Physical inability to exit the spa.
5. Fetal damage in pregnant women.
6. Unconsciousness, resulting in danger of drowning.
The spa user’s consumption of alcohol, drugs, or medication can greatly increase the risk of fatal
hyperthermia in spas.
RISK TO PREGNANT WOMEN: Excessive water temperatures have a high potential for
causing fetal damage during the early month of pregnancy. Pregnant or possibly pregnant women
should limit spa water temperatures to 100˚F (38˚C). To insure absolute safety, the user should
measure the water temperature with an accurate thermometer (such as a medical thermometer)
before entering the spa. Do not rely on the temperature-regulating device provided with your spa
for exact temperature measurements, as the tolerance of these regulating devices varies.
