Important Safety Instructions
Your physiological response to hot water is very subjective and depends on your age, health, and medical history. If you
don’t know your tolerance to hot water, or experience, dizziness, headaches or nausea you should exit the spa immediately
and cool down.
WARNING
1. Children should NOT use a spa without adult supervision.
2. Do not allow children to submerge their head under water.
3. Do not use a spa unless all suction guards are installed to prevent body and hair entrapment. Do not sit in front of, or on top
of the suction fittings or skimmer, as this will obstruct proper circulation and may result in personal injury.

measuring
the water temperature with an accurate thermometer before entering the spa. We also recommend establishing lower
temperatures and shorter periods of use for young children and/ or those users potentially affected by hot temperatures.
12. Do not use a spa immediately following strenuous exercise.

HYPERTHERMIA
Since your spa can be set to reach temperatures of 40°C (104°F), users should be aware that extended submersion in water
that exceeds normal body temperature can lead to hyperthermia.
The causes, symptoms and effects of hyperthermia are be described as follows:
Hyperthermia occurs when the internal temperature of the body reaches several degrees above the normal body
temperature of 37°C
(98.6°F). The symptoms of hyperthermia include drowsiness, lethargy, and an increase in the internal temperature of the
body. The effects of hyperthermia include:
• Unawareness of impending hazard
• Failure to perceive heat

• Physical inability to exit the spa

regardless of the climate. Many spa owners report that their favourite seasons are the cooler autumn and winter months,

Outdoor Locations

• Desire for an outdoor entertainment centre
• The spa is being installed adjacent to an existing or planned swimming pool
• Concerns over splashing water inside the home
