SAFETY WARNINGS cont...
8. WARNING - To reduce the risk of injury:
a) The water in a spa should never exceed 40ºC (104ºF). Water tempera-
tures between 38ºC (100ºF) and 40ºC are considered safe for a healthy
adult. Lower water temperatures are recommended for young children
and when spa use exceeds 10 minutes.
b) 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 38ºC (100ºF).
c) Before entering a spa, the user should measure the water temperature
with an accurate thermometer since the tolerance of water temperature
regulating devices varies.
d) The use of alcohol, drugs, or medication before or during spa use may
lead to unconsciousness with the possibility of drowning.
e) 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.
f) Persons using medication should consult a physician before using a
spa since some medication may induce drowsiness while other medica-
tion may affect heart rate, blood pressure, and circulation.
