HOW TO USE YOUR OXYPOOL
BEFORE TAKING YOUR FIRST BATH, READ AND APPLY THE "IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS".
To reduce the risk of injury, do not permit children to use the oxypool unless they are closely supervised at all times. Those requiring
supervision for any reason, should never be allowed to use the oxypool unattended. Persons under a doctor's care, pregnant
women, persons with high blood pressure, heart disease, diabetes, or any serious illness, should not use a oxypool without prior
consultation with their physician. Never use a oxypool while under the influence of any drugs or alcohol.
Do not use the oxypool if protective cover is not installed on the suction intake. Keep foreign objects, including hair, away from the
suction intake as they could block the intake or get caught in it. For comfort and safety, persons with long hair should tie their hair in
a bun to keep it out of the water and away from the suction fitting. Never place your head below the surface of the water.
TIME TO RELAX
It's time to relax, unwind, daydream, meditate. Lie back and relax while the effervescent oxypool action works on your body and
floats away your cares.
WATER TEMPERATURE
Warm to moderately hot water is ideal for a relaxing and comfortable whirlpool bath. That temperature is between 100° F and 102°
F. The maximum water temperature should never exceed 104° F. If your system uses the electronic control with back lighting, the
LCD displays the temperature when the system is on. Try cooler water for an invigorating oxypool.
Temperatures exceeding 104°F may induce hyperthermia. Hyperthermia occurs when the internal temperature of the body reaches
a level several degrees above normal body temperature of 98.6° F. The effects of hyperthermia include: failure to perceive heat,
failure to recognise the need to exit the oxypool and unawareness of pending hazards.
FILLING THE TUB
When the tub is filled with water above the highest jet, step in and sit down before turning the whirlpool on. Do not fill over the air
controls or bath waste handles. We recommend this procedure for two reasons. Some switching systems will not work unless the
bather is in the oxypool and the action of the water can alter your sense of touch and balance as your foot "seeks" the bottom of
the tub.
TURNING ON THE OXYPOOL
Turn on the pump by pressing or touching your controls as described previously in the section on Operating the controls.
