Water Temperature Safety

Elevated water temperature can be hazardous. The
U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission has these
guidelines:
1. Spa water temperatures should never exceed
104°F (40°C). A temperature of 100°F (38°C) is
considered safe for a healthy adult. Special cau-
tion is suggested for young children.
2. Drinking of alcoholic beverages before or during
spa or hot tub use may cause drowsiness which
could lead to unconsciousness and subsequently
result in drowning.
3. Pregnant Women Beware! Soaking in water over

first three months of pregnancy resulting in the
birth of a brain-damaged or deformed child.
Pregnant women should stick to 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 (2.2°C).
5. Persons with a medical history of heart disease,
circulatory problems, diabetes, or blood pressure
problems should obtain a physician's advice
before using spas or hot tubs.
6. Persons taking medications which induce drowsi-
ness, such as tranquilizers, antihistamines,
anticoagulants, or recreational drugs should not
use spas or hot tubs.
