Important Safety Instructions (cont.)
8. WARNING - TO REDUCE THE RISK OF INJURY:
(A) Always enter and exit a spa slowly.
(B) Do not use the spa alone.
(C) Before entering the spa, always measure the water temperature with an
accurate thermometer.Tolerance of water temperature regulating devices can
vary as much as plus/minus 5° F (3° C).
(D) Persons suffering from obesity or with a medical history of heart disease,
diabetes, high or low blood pressure or circulatory system problems should
consult with their physician before using the spa.
(E) Since excessive water temperature has a high potential for causing fetal
damage during early months of pregnancy, pregnant or possibly pregnant
women should limit spa water temperatures to 100° F (38° C).
(F) Excessive water temperature can be dangerous.The water in the spa should
never exceed 104° F (40° C).Water temperatures between 100° and 104° F
are considered safe for a healthy adult. Lower water temperatures are
recommended for extended use (exceeding 10 minutes) and for young
children. Long exposures at higher temperatures can result in hyperthermia.
(G) Children’s body temperature can increase more rapidly than adults in the same
water with elevated temperatures (above 99° F). Children should spend less time in
water above body temperature than adults.
(H) The use of a spa while under the influence of alcohol, drugs and/or medication may
lead to unconsciousness with the possibility of drowning.
*NOTE: Persons on medication should consult with their physician before entering the spa
since some medication may induce drowsiness while other medication may affect heart rate,
blood pressure and circulation.

several degrees above the normal body temperature of 98.6° F.
