hyperthermia and unconsciousness. Do not put the spa under 0°C (32°F)
environment in order to avoid freezing if there is still water in the pool. It’s helpful
to put temp barrier mat in between the spa pool and the ground. Similar mat
which is made of foam material or other materials with heat barrier function can
also be used. Do not turn on the spa when the water is frozen.
