Spa Safety

The time you spend in your spa should be relaxing and enjoyable. But like many other things in life, there

are certain precautions that you must take to ensure the safety of everyone who uses the spa. The

following list is intended to be a starting point for the safe use of your spa. It is in no ways meant to be an

all inclusive list.

SMALL CHILDREN/PREGNANT WOMEN

Under no circumstances should small children or pregnant women use a spa without prior consultation

with their physician. Exposing children or pregnant women to the hot water in a spa can cause severe

medical problems. (The general rule of thumb in determining “small children” is ten years of age. Since

this ﬁgure can vary, you should consult your doctor.)

Another very important reason to supervise children’s use of a spa is the risk of drowning. When

supervision is not possible, the spa’s hard cover should be locked down.

MEDICAL PROBLEMS

Persons suffering from heart disease, diabetes, high or low blood pressure, or other health problems

should not use a spa without consulting their doctor. Failure to follow his or her advice could result in

accidental drowning in the spa.

ALCOHOL & DRUG CONCERNS

Though Hollywood likes to portray a romantic couple in a spa drinking wine, in real life this is an extremely

dangerous practice that can result in drowning. Likewise, narcotics and drugs that cause sleepiness,

drowsiness, or raise/lower blood pressure can have the same effect.

RISK OF BURNS

Before entering your spa, always check the water temperature with a reliable thermometer. You should

never enter the spa if the water temperature exceeds 104

OVER EXPOSURE

All good things must come to an end. As relaxing as your spa is, you must avoid staying in it too long,

especially if you are using the spa by yourself. Overexposure to hot water can cause nausea, dizziness,

and fainting. To be safe, do not use the spa for more than 10 to 15 minutes per session unless you lower

the water temperature. If at all possible, do not use the spa alone.

SLIPPERY WHEN WET

The acrylic surface of your spa is more than beautiful. It can also be extremely slippery. Extreme caution

must be used when entering and exiting the spa.

ELECTROCUTION

In order to protect the users of your spa from electrocution, portable radios, T.V’s, and other electrical

devices must be kept away from the spa’s water. Do not attempt to operate these devices while wet. All

outlets around the spa should be G.F.C.I. protected.
