Spa Tips
-
Sanitizer Level
Never enter a spa or hot tub unless the sanitizer level is adequate to keep the water healthy and free from harmful microorganisms.
-
Storing Chemicals
Chemicals, additives and cleaning compounds for your spa should be stored in a cool, dry, and well ventilated location – away from direct sunlight and out of the reach of children.
-
Drugs and Alcohol Guidelines
Hot water in your spa heightens the effects of alcohol and certain drugs. Avoid consuming alcoholic beverages in a hot tub or spa. Consult your doctor regarding the use of prescription drugs.
-
Time and Temperature
Soaking for too long in elevated water temperatures of a hot tub can raise body heat to hazardous levels. The National Spa and Pool Institute considers 104° F to be the maximum safe water temperature for adults.
-
Guidelines For Children and Infants
Children and infants should be supervised at all times around a hot tub or spa. It is best to introduce them to a hot tub or spa slowly, giving them time to adjust to the change in temperature and to alleviate fear or discomfort.
