WARNING
-
FOR INDOOR USE ONLY.
• The water in a spa should never exceed 40C(104F). Water temperature between 38C
(100F) and 40C are considered safe for a healthy adult. Lower water temperatures are
recommended for young children and when spa use exceeds 10 minutes.
• Since excessive water temperatures have a high potential for causing fetal damage dur
ing the early months of pregnancy, pregnant or possibly pregnant women should limit
spa water temperatures to 38C (100F).
• Before entering the spa, the user should measure the water temperature since the toler
ance of water temperature-regulating devices varies.
• The use of alcohol, drugs or medication before or during spa use may lead to uncon
sciousness 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.
• Persons using medication should consult a physician before using a spa since some
medication may induce drowsiness while other medications may affect heart rate,
blood pressure, and circulation.
