WARNING - TO REDUCE THE RISK OF INJURY
A. The water in a tub should never exceed 100f (38c). Before entering the tub the
user should measure the water temperature with an accurate thermometer, since
the tolerance of water temperature-regulating devices may vary as much as +/- 5
f (3c). A water temperatures of 100f (38c) is considered safe for a healthy adult.
Lower water temperatures are recommended for extended use (exceeding 10-15
minutes) and for young children.
B. Since excessive water temperatures have a high potential for causing fetal
damage during the early months of pregnancy, pregnant or possibly pregnant
women should limit tub water temperatures to 100f ( 38c ).
C. The use of alcohol, drugs, or medication before or during tub use may lead to
unconsciousness with the possibility of drowning.
D. Persons suffering from obesity or with a medical history of heart disease, low or
high blood pressure should consult a physician before using a hot tub.
E. Persons using medication should consult a physician before using a hot tub since
some medication may induce drowsiness while other medication may affect heart
rate, blood pressure, and circulation.
F. Because occasional users of the tub may not be aware of all of the potential risks
associated with tub usage, they should be made aware of these important safety
features.
G. The very young, or aged, those with illness, heart conditions or under doctor’s
care should not use the tub unattended. Infants should not be permitted in water
temperatures more than 100f.
H. Prolonged immersion in water that is warmer than normal body temperature can
result in a dangerous condition known as HYPERTHERMIA. The causes,
symptoms, and effects of hyperthermia may be described as follows:
hyperthermia occurs when the internal temperature of the body reaches a level
several degrees above the normal body temperature of 98.6f. The symptoms of
hyperthermia include dizziness, fainting, drowsiness, lethargy, and an increase in
the internal body temperature. The effects of hyperthermia include: (1)
unawareness of impending hazard, (2) failure to perceive heat, (3) failure to
recognize the need to exit the hot tub, (4) physical inability to exit the hot tub, (5)
fetal damage in pregnant women, and (6) unconsciousness resulting in a danger
of drowning.
WARNING
: the use of alcohol, drugs, or medication can greatly
increase the risk of fatal hyperthermia.

DANGER
- to reduce the risk of injury to persons in the tub, never remove, or alter in
any way, the grates or covers on the suction fittings in the tub. Never operate the
equipment system if the grates or covers on the suction fittings are broken or
missing.
The water should always flow freely from the hydrotherapy jets within the tub. Any
blockage or restriction of water flow by persons or objects may damage the system
components, create an electrical shock hazard, and/or cause water damage to the
surrounding area. To avoid damage to the pump and heater, the equipment system
must never be operated unless the tub is filled with water to the operating level.
