Prolonged immersion in hot water may induce hyperthermia. Hyperthermia occurs when the internal temperature
of the body reaches a level several degrees above the normal body temperature of 37 °C (98.6 °F). The symptoms
of hyperthermia include dizziness, fainting, drowsiness, lethargy, and an increase in the internal temperature of the
body. The effects of hyperthermia include:
• Unawareness of impending danger
• Failure to perceive heat
• Failure to recognize the need to exit spa
• Physical inability to exit spa
• Fetal damage in pregnant women
• Unconsciousness resulting in a danger of drowning
To Reduce the Risk of Injury -
• The water in a spa should never exceed 40°C (104°F). Water temperatures between 38°C (100°F) and 40°C
(104°F) are 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 fetal damage during the early months of
pregnancy, pregnant or possibly pregnant women should limit spa water temperatures to 38°C (100°F).
• Before entering a spa or hot tub, the user should measure the water temperature with an accurate
thermometer since the tolerance of water temperature-regulating devices varies.
• The use of alcohol, drugs, or medication before or during spa or hot tub use may lead to unconsciousness with
the possibility 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 or hot tub since some medication
may induce drowsiness while other medication may affect heart rate, blood pressure, and circulation.
• People with infectious diseases should not use a spa or hot tub.
• To avoid injury, exercise care when entering or exiting the spa or hot tub.
• Do not use drugs or alcohol before or during the use of a spa or hot tub to avoid unconsciousness and
possible drowning.
• Pregnant or possibly pregnant women should consult a physician before using a spa or hot tub.
• Water temperature in excess of 38°C (100°F) may be injurious to your health.
• Before entering a spa or hot tub measure the water temperature with an accurate thermometer.
• Do not use a spa or hot tub immediately following strenuous exercise.
• Prolonged immersion in a spa or hot tub may be injurious to your health.
• Do not permit any electric appliance (such as a light, telephone, radio, or television) within 1.5 m (5 ft.) of
a spa or hot tub.
• The use of alcohol, drugs or medication can greatly increase the risk of fatal hyperthermia in hot tubs and spas.
RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, FIRE, PERSONAL INJURY, OR DEATH. (For all permanently installed equipment
intended for use on 15 or 20 ampere, 120 through 240 volt, single phase branch circuits). Connect only to a
branch circuit that is protected by a ground-fault circuit-interrupter protection for personnel (GFCI). Contact a
qualified electrician if you cannot verify that the circuit is protected by a GFCI. A GFCI should be provided by the
installer and should be tested on a routine basis. To test the GFCI, push the test button. The GFCI should interrupt
power. Push the reset button. Power should be restored. If the GFCI fails to operate in this manner, the GFCI
is defective. If the GFCI interrupts power to the pump without the test button being pushed, a ground current is
flowing, indicating the possibility of electrical shock. Do not use the device. Disconnect the device and have the
problem corrected by a qualified service representative before using.
DISCONNECT ALL SUPPLY CONNECTIONS BEFORE SERVICING THIS EQUIPMENT. Always disconnect
power at the circuit breaker before servicing. Failure to do so may result in serious injury or death.
