Spa and hot tub safety –

Codes –

The following safety rules must be observed while operating spa or hot tub.

1.Spa or hot tub water temperatures should never exceed 104°F (40°C). A temperature of 100°F (38°C) is considered safe for a healthy adult. Special caution is suggested for young children.

2.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 beware! Soaking in water above 102°F (39°C) can cause fetal damage during the first three months of pregnancy (resulting in birth of brain- damaged or a deformed child). Pregnant women should observe the 100°F (38°C) maximum rule.

4.Before entering the spa or hot tub, users should check the water temperature with an accurate thermometer; spa or hot tub thermostats may err in regulating water temperatures by as much as 4°F (2°C).

5.Persons with a medical history of heart disease, circulatory problems, diabetes or blood pressure problems should obtain their physician’s advice before using spas or hot tubs.

6.Persons taking medications which induce drowsiness, such as tranquilizers, antihistamine or anticoagulants, should not use spas or hot tubs.
