Powerpool™ Soaking Guidelines - MAAX Spas Powerpool Owner's Manual

POWERPOOL™ SOAKING GUIDELINES
1. Persons with heart disease, diabetes, blood
pressure or circulatory abnormalities, a
serious illness, or pregnant women should
not enter a PowerPool™ without prior
consultation with their doctor.
2. People with skin, ear; genital or other body
infections, open sores, or wounds should
not use the PowerPool™ because of the
possibility of spreading infection.
3. Before entering, look at the water in your
PowerPool™. If there is cloudiness,
foaming, or a strong chlorine smell is
present, the water needs treatment.
Properly maintained water will greatly
reduce potential skin rash (pseudomonas).
Ask your Authorized Dealer for guidance.
4. Shower with soap and water before and
after using the PowerPool™. Showering
before use removes many common skin
bacteria, perspiration, lotions, deodorants,
creams, etc. that may reduce the
effectiveness of the sanitizer and lessen
the ability of the filter to work efficiently.
Showering after use will help reduce skin
irritation that may result from contact with
sanitizing chemicals.
5. Enter the PowerPool™ slowly and
cautiously. Be careful of your footing,
and allow your body to gradually adjust
to the water temperature. Exit slowly
to accommodate relaxed leg muscles and
possible light-headedness.
6. Soaking for too long may cause some
users to feel nauseous, dizzy, or

light-headed. If you wish to soak in
high temperature water 104°F (40°C), leave
the PowerPool™ after 15 minutes, shower,
cool down and then return for another
brief stay. In lower temperatures (e.g.
98.6°F (37.5°C) - normal body temperature)
most people can comfortably and safely
soak for longer periods at one sitting.
Never use the PowerPool™ to swim, jog or
exercise in hot water. Recommended
water temperature for swimming and
exercising is 80°F-86°F (27°C - 30°C). If
you have any questions about what is right
for you, your family, or other guests,
consult your doctor.
7. Always be sure to check the water
temperature before entering, and while
using the PowerPool™.
8. Never use the PowerPool™ while under
the influence of alcohol or drugs.
9. Consult your doctor about potential harmful
effects of using drugs or medications while
swimming, jogging, and exercising or hot
water soaking in your PowerPool™.
10. Never use the PowerPool™ when you
are alone. The first rule of Aquatic
Exercise is Safety. Always be sure that any
PowerPool™ user is under the supervision
of a responsible adult who is capable of
rescuing the PowerPool™ user in case of
an emergency.
11. Never allow children or elderly adults to
use the PowerPool™ unsupervised.
