Bullfrog Spas Owner’s Manual 

b) 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 spa water 
temperatures to 38°C (100°F). 

c) Before entering a spa, the user should measure the water temperature with an accurate 

thermometer since the tolerance of water temperature-regulating devices varies. 

d) The use of alcohol, drugs, or medication before or during spa use may lead to unconsciousness 
with the possibility of drowning. 

e) Persons suffering from obesity or with a medical history of heart disease, low or high blood 
pressure, circulatory system problems, or diabetes should consult a physician before using a spa. 

f) Persons using medication should consult a physician before using a spa since some medication 
may induce drowsiness while other medication may affect heart rate, blood pressure and circulation. 

 
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS. 

WARNING SIGN 

Included with this spa is a warning sign (Fig. A)  to inform

ADDITIONAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS: 

1. WARNING

 - 

Risk of Fatal Hyperthermia. 

a) The use of alcohol, drugs, or medication can greatly increase the risk of fatal Hyperthermia in 

spas and hot tubs. 

b) 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 37°C (98.6°F). The symptoms of Hyperthermia include an 
increase in the internal temperature of the body, dizziness, lethargy, drowsiness, and fainting. The 
effects of Hyperthermia include: 

Unawareness of impending hazard; 

Failure to perceive heat; 

Failure to recognize the need to exit the spa or hot tub; 

Physical inability to exit the spa or hot tub; 

Fetal damage in pregnant women; and 

Unconsciousness and danger of drowning. 

2. WARNING - Risk to Infants, the Elderly, and Women Planning or Experiencing Pregnancy.

 Please 

consult your physician if the above applies to you or anyone using your spa. 

3. WARNING - Risk of Children Drowning.

 Although your spa cover is not rated as a safety cover, it is 

wise to always keep the spa cover securely fastened when not in use. This will help discourage children 
from attempting to enter the 
spa while not supervised by an adult. 

4. WARNING - Risk of Drowning.

 Use caution when bathing alone. Overexposure to hot water may 

cause nausea, dizziness, and fainting. 

5. WARNING - Risk of Injury.

 To avoid injury, exercise care when entering or exiting the spa or hot 

tub. Surfaces can be very slippery when wet. Do not step or sit on HeadRests. Also, keep all breakable
