MAAX SPAS PERFORMANCE SERIES
SPA SOAKING GUIDELINES
1. Persons with heart disease, diabetes,
blood pressure or circulatory
abnormalities, a serious illness, or
pregnant women should not enter a
spa without prior consultation with
their doctor.
2. People with skin, ear, genital or other body
infections, open sores, or wounds should
not use the spa because of the possibility
of spreading infection.
3. Before entering, look at the water in your
spa. If there is cloudiness, foaming, or if
a strong chlorine smell is present, the
water needs treatment. Properly
maintained water will greatly reduce
potential skin rash (pseudomonas).
Ask your Authorized MAAX® Spas
Dealer for guidance.
4. Shower with soap and water before and
after using the spa. 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 spa
chemicals.
5. Enter the spa 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
lightheadedness.
6. Soaking for too long may cause some
users to feel nauseous, dizzy, or
lightheaded. If you wish to soak in high
temperature water 104
°
F (40°C), leave the
spa after 15 minutes, shower, cool
down and then return for another brief
stay. In lower temperatures (e.g. 98.6
°F
37°C - normal body temperature) most
people can comfortably and safely soak for
longer periods at one sitting. If you have
any questions about what’s right for you,
your family, or other guests, consult your
doctor.
7. Be sure you check the water temperature
before entering, and while using the spa.
8. Never use the spa while under the
influence of alcohol.
9. Consult your doctor about potential
harmful effects of using drugs or
medications while hot water soaking.
10.
Never use the spa when you are alone.
11.
Never allow children or elderly adults
to use the spa unsupervised.
