Safety Rules

1. Spa or hot tub water temperatures should never exceed
104° F. A temperature of 100° F. 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 100°
F. can cause fetal damage during the first three months
of pregnancy (resulting in the birth of a brain-damaged
or deformed child). Pregnant women should stick to
the 100° F. maximum rule.
Should overheating occur or the gas supply fail to shut off, turn off the manual gas control valve to the heater.
Do not use this heater if any part has been under water. Immediately call a qualified service technician to
inspect the heater and to replace any part of control system and gas control which has been under water.

4. Before entering the spa or hot tub, the user 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.

circulatory problems, diabetes or blood pressure
problems should obtain their physician's advice before

of less than three (3) feet from the top of the heater.
The area under the overhang must be open on three
sides. Overhangs must be such that flue products
are not diverted into living spaces. Heaters installed
under overhangs must be protected from direct roof
water drainage by gutters and the like.
DO NOT INSTALL the heater in locations which
will permit the accumulation of leaves or other
combustible material on or around the base of the
heater.
DO NOT INSTALL the heater in a location that
will allow sprinklers to operate near the heater
equipment since the water may cause damage to the
controls and/or electronics.
