For units intended for use in other than single-

The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commis-
sion warns that elevated water temperature can
be hazardous. See below for water temperature
guidelines before setting temperature.
The following “Safety Rules for Hot Tubs” recom-
mended by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety
Commission should be observed when using the
spa.
1. Spa or hot tub water temperatures should never exceed 104° F. [40°
C.]. A temperature of 100° F. [38° C.] is considered safe for a healthy
adult. Special caution is suggested for young children. Prolonged
immersion in hot water can induce hyperthermia.
2. Drinking of alcoholic beverages before or during spa or hot tub use
can cause drowsiness which could lead to unconsciousness and
subsequently result in drowning.
3. Pregnant women beware! Soaking in water above 100° F. [38° C.]
can cause fetal damage during the first three months of pregnancy
(which may result in the birth of a brain-damaged or deformed child).
Pregnant women should stick to the 100° F. [38° C.] maximum rule.
4. Before entering the spa or hot tub, the user should check the water
temperature with an accurate thermometer. Spa or hot tub thermostats
may err in regulating water temperatures.
5. Persons with a medical history of heart disease, circulatory problems,
diabetes or blood pressure problems should obtain their physician’s
advice before using spas or hot tubs.
6. Persons taking medication which induce drowsiness, such as
tranquilizers, antihistamines or anticoagulants should not use spas
or hot tubs.
Hyperthermia occurs when the internal temperature of the body reaches a
level several degrees above normal body temperature of 98.6° F. [37° C.].
The symptoms of hyperthermia include: drowsiness, lethargy, dizziness,
fainting, and an increase in the internal temperature of the body.
The effects of hyperthermia include:
1. Unawareness of impending danger.
2. Failure to perceive heat.
3. Failure to recognize the need to leave the spa.
4. Physical inability to exit the spa.
5. Fetal damage in pregnant women.
6. Unconsciousness resulting in danger of drowning.
