CONSUMER INFORMATION AND SAFETY

The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission warns that elevated water temperature can be hazardous.
See below for water temperature guidelines before setting temperature.
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. Prolonged immersion in hot
water can induce hyperthermia.
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.
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.
5. Persons with a medical history of heart disease, circulatory problems, diabetes or blood pressure
problems should obtain their physician's advice before using spas or hot tubs.
6. Persons taking medication which induce drowsiness, such as tranquilizers, antihistamines or
anticoagulants should not use spas or hot tubs.
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.
