diabetes must consult with a physician before using a spa.
• Infants must never be in a spa with a temperature of over 100ºF (38ºC).

minutes for young children, pregnant women, women who may be pregnant. High water
temperature can cause fetal damage during the first few months of pregnancy.
Be Aware of the Risk of Fatal Hyperthermia
The use of alcohol, drugs, or medications can greatly increase the risk of fatal hyper-
thermia. Hyperthermia occurs when the internal body temperature reaches a level
several degrees above normal body temperature (98.6ºF). The symptoms of hyper-
thermia include dizziness, fainting, drowsiness, lethargy, and an increase in the body’s
internal temperature.
The effects of hyperthermia include:
• Failure to perceive heat
• Physical inability to exit the spa
• Unconsciousness and danger of drowning
• Failure to recognize impending hazard
• Failure to recognize the need to exit the spa
• Fetal damage in pregnant women
For All Indoor Hot Tub Installations
• All indoor hot tubs must be installed in rooms with proper ventilation.
• Keep the hot tub *completely covered and locked when the spa is not in use.
• IMPORTANT: It is the owner’s responsibility to keep water properly sanitized at all times.
• Install indoor hot tubs on non-porous flooring with adequate drainage.
It is critical to complete all of these above steps in order to prevent bacteria-ridden
water from becoming bacteria-ridden vapor in the hot tub room. If the room is poorly
ventilated, this vapor can fill the enclosed air space creating a health hazard. The
breathing in of this vapor may cause lung infections.
