Hot Tub Safety Information

Your new hot tub can provide numerous benefits and enjoyment.  Please review the safety information below to ensure your hot tub’s safe and enjoyable use.

1. Never allow water to exceed 40 degrees Celcius (104 F);
2. Limit soak time to 20 mins at a time;
3. Use a buddy system when using the hot tub and avoid using it alone;
4. Do not allow children to use the hot tub without supervision and limit soak time to 10 mins at a time and/or reduce the tub temperature (should not be used by children under the age of five years);
5. Never allow anyone who has been drinking alcohol or using any drugs (prescribed or otherwise) to enter the tub;
6. Never go underwater in a hot tub due to the risk of hair entanglement in water intake ports (suction hazard) – this is a drowning hazard;
7. Persons with skin, ear, genital, or other body infections should not enter the hot tub because of the possibility of spreading infection;
8. Persons with heart disease, diabetes, high or low blood pressure, any serious illness, pregnant women, and any person with any doubt should not enter the hot tub without prior consultation with a physician;
9. Do not operate any electrical device inside the hot tub. Electrical shock or electrocution can occur in a hot tub if live electrical current comes into contact with the water. Use a “Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) on any appliance that must be near the hot tub;
10. You and/or your guests will likely be barefoot near the hot tub. Use only unbreakable dishes, beverage containers, and utensils around the hot tub, and never use glass anywhere near or in the hot tub. The broken glass becomes invisible in the water and is extremely difficult to get out of the water circulation system;
11. To avoid slip and fall injuries, be sure to have a towel nearby to dry your feet before entering or leaving the hot tub. Where possible, the hot tub should be placed on a non-slip surface;
12. Never use the hot tub during a thunderstorm or when lightening is occurring in your area;
13. When not in use, eliminate drowning hazards by always having the cover on the hot tub locked to prevent unsupervised access by children;
14. Ultimately, it is the responsibility of the Lessee to ensure that all users of the hot tub are aware of and abide by this safety information, including anyone charged with the responsibility of controlling access to the hot tub – even if only temporarily.
