To Reduce the Risk of Injury -
•
The water in a spa should never exceed 40°C (104°F). Water temperatures between 38°C (100°F) and 40°C
(104°F) are considered safe for a healthy adult. Lower water temperatures are recommended for young chil-
dren and when spa use exceeds 10 minutes. Bathing in spa water at 40°C (104°F) should not exceed 15
minutes.
•
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 38°C (100°F).
•
Before entering a spa or hot tub, the user should measure the water temperature with an accurate thermometer
since the tolerance of water temperature-regulating devices varies.
•
The use of alcohol, drugs, or medication before or during spa or hot tub use may lead to unconsciousness with
the possibility of drowning.
•
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.
•
Persons using medication should consult a physician before using a spa or hot tub since some medication may
induce drowsiness while other medication may affect heart rate, blood pressure, and circulation.
•
People with infectious diseases should not use a spa or hot tub.
•
To avoid injury, exercise care when entering or exiting the spa or hot tub.
•
Do not use drugs or alcohol before or during the use of a spa or hot tub to avoid unconsciousness and possible
drowning.
•
Pregnant or possibly pregnant women should consult a physician before using a spa or hot tub.
•
Water temperature in excess of 38°C (100°F) may be injurious to your health.
•
Before entering a spa or hot tub measure the water temperature with an accurate thermometer.
•
Do not use a spa or hot tub immediately following strenuous exercise.
•
Prolonged immersion in a spa or hot tub may be injurious to your health.
•
Do not permit any electric appliance (such as a light, telephone, radio, or television) within 1.52 metre (5') of a
spa or hot tub.
•
The use of alcohol, drugs or medication can greatly increase the risk of fatal hyperthermia in hot tubs and spas.
•
Water temperature in excess of 38°C (100°F) may be hazardous to your health.
Prolonged immersion in hot water may induce hyperthermia. Hyperthermia occurs when the internal temperature
of the body reaches a level several degrees above the normal body temperature of 37°C (98.6°F). The symptoms
of hyperthermia include dizziness, fainting, drowsiness, lethargy, and an increase in the internal temperature of the
body. The effects of hyperthermia include:
•
Unawareness of impending danger;
•
Failure to perceive heat;
•
Failure to recognize the need to exit spa;
•
Physical inability to exit spa;
•
Fetal damage in pregnant women; and/or
•
Unconsciousness resulting in a danger of drowning.
