• All metal components used in and
around a pool should be of a high
grade, quality stainless steel.
• Careful selection of masonry
products. The porosity and
hardness of natural stones varies
greatly. Therefore we recommend
you consult with your builder
or stone contractor on the best
choice for stone materials around
your pool or spa.
• Sealing all masonry products.
Professionals in the stone industry
specify that even natural stone,
especially when used outdoors,
be sealed to prevent weathering,
staining, and premature
degradation. Consult with your
stone or deck contractor for the
proper sealer for the masonry
products you have selected to use
around your pool or spa.
• For optimal results, sealers should
be reapplied on a regular
basis. Reapply the protective
sealer on a schedule per the
manufacturer’s instructions.
• Use of chemicals other than
those recommended may be
hazardous. Follow the chemical
manufacturers instructions.
WARNING
Prolonged immersion in hot water may
induce hyperthermia. Hyperthermia
occurs when the internal temperature
of the body reaches a level several
degrees above the normal body
temperature of 37 °C (98.6 °F). The
symptoms of hyperthermia include
dizziness, fainting, drowsiness,
lethargy, and an increase in the internal
temperature of the body. The effects of
hyperthermia include:
• Unawareness of impending
danger
• Failure to perceive heat
• Failure to recognize the need to
exit spa
• Physical inability to exit spa
• Fetal damage in pregnant women
• Unconsciousness resulting in a
danger of drowning
To Reduce the Risk of Injury:
• The water in a spa should never
exceed 40°C (104°F). Water
temperatures between 38°C
(100°F) and 40°C (104°F) are
considered safe for a healthy adult.
Lower water temperatures are
recommended for young children
and when spa use exceeds 10
minutes.
• 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
spa water temperatures to 38°C
(100°F).
• Before entering a spa or hot tub,
the user should measure the water
temperature with an accurate
thermometer since the tolerance
of water temperature-regulating
devices varies.
• The use of alcohol, drugs, or
medication before or during
spa or hot tub use may lead
to unconsciousness with the
possibility of drowning.
• Obese persons and persons with
a history of heart disease, low or
high blood pressure, circulatory
system problems, or diabetes
should consult a physician before
using a spa.
• Persons using medication
should consult a physician
before using a spa or hot tub
since some medication may
induce drowsiness while other
medication may affect heart rate,
blood pressure, and circulation.
• People with infectious diseases
should not use a spa or hot tub.
• To avoid injury, exercise care
when entering or exiting the spa
or hot tub.
