•
The spa must be supplied by earthed power source. An earthed power cord is supplied.
•
Cleaning and user maintenance must be performed by an adult above 18 years old who
understands the risk of electric shock.
•
Do not bury the cord. Locate the cord to minimise damage from lawn mowers, hedge
trimmers and other equipment.
•
During pregnancy, soaking in hot water may result in serious injury or death to the
unborn child. Limit use to 10 minutes at a time and be conscious of temperature.
•
The spa must only be placed on a properly prepared site that meets the floor loading
requirements.
To reduce the risk of injury:
•
The water in a spa should never exceed 40°C. Water temperature between 38°C and
40°C is considered safe for a healthy adult. Lower water temperatures are
recommended for young children and when spa use exceeds 10 minutes.
•
Since excessive water temperatures have a high potential for causing damage to the
unborn child during the early months of pregnancy, users who are pregnant or possibly
pregnant should limit spa water temperature to 38°C.
•
Before entering a spa, the user should measure the water temperature with an accurate
thermometer since the tolerance of water temperature regulating device varies.
•
The use of alcohol, drugs or medication before or during spa use may lead to
unconsciousness with the possibility of drowning.
•
The use of alcohol, drugs or medication can greatly increase the risk of fatal
hyperthermia. Hyperthermia occurs when the internal temperature of the body reaches
a level that is several degrees above the normal body temperature of 37°C.
The symptoms of hyperthermia include an increase in the internal temperature of the
body, dizziness, lethargy, drowsiness and fainting.
The effects of hyperthermia include failure to perceive heat; failure to recognise the
need to exit spa or hot tub; unawareness of impending hazard; fetal damage in
pregnant people; physical inability to exit the spa or hot tub; and unconsciousness
resulting in the danger of drowning.
•
Obese persons and persons with a history of heart disease, low or high blood pressure,
circulatory system problems or diabetes should consult a physician before using a spa.
•
Persons using medication should consult a physician before using a spa since some
medication may induce drowsiness while other medication may affect heart rate, blood
pressure and circulation.
•
This spa pool is a heated water environment. If you are concerned that it may adversely
affect you it is your responsibility to seek medical advice.
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF INJURY: Never pour water with a temperature higher than
•
38°C into the spa pool directly.
