surfaces. As an alternative, a Hot Tub may be installed within 5 feet of metal
surfaces if each metal surface is permanently connected by a minimum No. 8

provided for this purpose.
6.)
DANGER - Risk of Electric Shock. Do not permit any electric appliance, such as
a light, telephone, radio, or television within 15 feet of the Hot Tub.
7.)
WARNING - To reduce the risk of Injury:
a)
Before using your Hot Tub, you should measure the water temperature with an
accurate thermometer since the tolerance of water temperature-regulating devices
varies.
b)
The water in the Hot Tub 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 young children
and when Hot Tub use exceeds 10 minutes.
c)
The use of alcohol, drugs, or medication before or during Hot Tub use may lead to
unconsciousness with the possibility of drowning.
d)
Individuals using medications should consult their physician before using the Hot
Tub since some medications may induce drowsiness, while other medications may
affect heart rate, blood pressure, and circulation.
e)
Individuals suffering from obesity or with a medical history of heart disease, high
or low blood pressure, circulatory system problems, multiple sclerosis, thyroid
disease, or diabetes should consult their physician before using the Hot Tub.
f)
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 Hot Tub water temperatures to 100
F (38
C). You should also
consult your physician before using the Hot Tub.
g)
Hypothermia (heat stroke) is a dangerous condition brought about by excessive
heat. It especially affects the very young, elderly, individuals under the influence
of alcohol or drugs, and those using certain medications. The symptoms include:
sweating, dizziness, nausea, light-headed, convulsions, increased pulse rate,
shallow breathing, and in the extreme, unconsciousness. If you suspect
hypothermia, get medical help immediately. Lay the victim on their back, with
the head slightly elevated for easier breathing, cover the body with a blanket and
