1.2.1 Spa/Hot Tub Safety Rules

WARNING
The following "Safety Rules for Hot Tubs,"
recommended by the U.S. Consumer Product
Safety Commission, should be observed when
using the spa.
WARNING
The U.S. Consumer Product Safety
Commission warns that elevated water
temperature can be hazardous. Consult heater
operation and installation instructions for water
temperature guidelines before setting
temperature.
1. Spa or hot tube water temperature should never
exceed 104°F (40°C). One hundred degrees
Fahrenheit (100°F [38°C]) is considered safe for
a healthy adult. Special caution is recommended
for young children.
2. The 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 take note! Soaking in water
above 102°F (38.5°C) can cause fetal damage
during the first three months of pregnancy
(which could result in the birth of a brain-
damaged or deformed child). If pregnant women
are going to use a spa or hot tub, they should
make sure the water temperature is below 100°F
(38°C) maximum.
4. The water temperature should always be checked
with an accurate thermometer before entering a
spa or hot tub. Temperature controls may vary by
as much as 4F° (2C°).
5. Persons with a medical history of heart disease,
diabetes, circulatory or blood pressure problems
should consult their physician before using a hot
tub or spa.
6. Persons taking any medication which induces
drowsiness (e.g., tranquilizers, antihistamines, or
anticoagulants) should not use spas or hot tubs.
7. Prolonged immersion in hot water can induce
hyperthermia.
Hyperthermia occurs when the internal body
temperature reaches a level several degrees above the
