1.2.1
Spa/Hot Tub Safety Rules
WARNING
The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission
warns that elevated water temperature can
be hazardous. Consult heater operation and
installation instructions for water temperature
guidelines before setting temperature.
WARNING
The following “Safety Rules for Hot Tubs,”
recommended by the U.S. Consumer Product
Safety Commission, should be observed when
using the spa.
1.
Spa or hot tub water temperature should never
exceed 104°F (40°C). One hundred degrees
Fahrenheit [100°F (38°C)] is considered safe for a
healthy adult. Special caution is recommended for
young children.
2.
The 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 take note!
Soaking in water
above 102°F (38.5°C) can cause fetal damage
during the fi rst three months of pregnancy (which
could result in the birth of a brain-damaged or
deformed child). If pregnant women are going
to use a spa or hot tub, they should make sure
the water temperature is below 100°F (38°C)
maximum.
4.
The water temperature should always be checked
with an accurate thermometer before entering a
spa or hot tub. Temperature controls may vary by
as much as 1F°/1C°.
