AVOIDING RISK OF 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 .6ºF (37°C) . The symptoms of
hyperthermia include an increase in the internal temperature of the body, dizziness,
lethargy, drowsiness and fainting .
The effects of hyperthermia include:
1 . Failure to perceive heat .
2 . Failure to recognize the need to exit the spa or hot tub .
3 . Unawareness of impending hazard .
4 . Fetal damage in pregnant women .
5 . Physical inability to exit the spa or hot tub .
6 . Unconsciousness resulting in drowning .
The use of alcohol, drugs, or medication can greatly increase the risk of fatal
hyperthermia in hot tubs and spas.
To Reduce The Risk of Injury:
• The water in the spa should never exceed 104°F (40˚C) . Water temperatures between
100°F (37 .7˚C) and 104°F (40˚C) are considered safe for a healthy adult .
• Lower water temperatures are recommended for extended use (exceeding ten
minutes) and for young children . Extended use can cause hyperthermia .
• Pregnant or possibly pregnant women should consult with their physician before
entering a spa . Failure to do so may result in permanent injury to your baby .
• Do not use spa immediately following strenuous exercise .
AVOIDING RISK OF SKIN BURNS
• To reduce the risk of injury, before entering a spa the user should measure the water
temperature with an accurate thermometer, since the tolerance of temperature-
regulating devices may vary by as much as ±5˚ .
• Test the water with your hand before entering the spa to be sure it’s comfortable .
