HYPERTHERMIA:
Hyperthermia occurs when the body's internal temperature increases a
few degrees above normal body temperature of 98.6°f (37°C). The symptoms include
lethargy, drowsiness, dizziness, and fainting. PREVENTION- reduce the water
temperature, reduce the length of time in the water or both.
SICKNESS:
It is not recommended that any person enter a unit with open wounds, sores,
viral or infectious diseases.
SUCTION FITTINGS:
Fittings/grates in the bottom foot area of the unit are designed to pull in
water at a safe suction/flow rate. It is still recommended to keep bathers hair away
from this area for added safety. If any of these suction grates break or crack,
discontinue use and call Royal Spa Service for repair.
MEDICATION:
Soaking in hot water may intensify or exaggerate the effects of many
medications. You should contact your physician for his recommendations prior to use
of the unit.
ALCOHOL OR DRUGS:
Soaking in hot water will intensify or exaggerate the effects of
alcohol and most drugs. The use of alcohol or drugs could make one unable to get
out of the water or cause unconsciousness and drowning. It is recommended that you
avoid consuming alcohol or drugs before or while using a unit.
TIME LIMITS:
Always observe a reasonable time limit and temperature while using the unit.
Remind of these limits.
WATER TEMPERATURE:
Temperatures should not exceed 104°f (40°C). Water
temperatures between 99° and 104° are considered safe for a
healthy
adult. Lower
temperatures are recommended for people with some health conditions when use
exceeds 10 minutes. People with any health condition, including pregnancy, should
consult thier physician prior to use.
CPR:
It is a good idea to have at least one responsible person who is trained in artificial
respiration and/or cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR).
CHILDREN'S SAFETY AND YOUR BAPTISTRY
ACCIDENTAL DROWNING:
Extreme caution must be exercised to prevent unauthorized use
or access to spa by unsupervised children. The spa cover must remain closed and
locked when not in use.
COVER:
Never allow a child to stand or play on the baptistry cover. Baptistry covers are not
designed to safely hold the weight of a child and could present a extreme danger if it
cracked or broke thru.
WATER TEMPERATURE:
Should remain at or below normal body temperature (98.6°f) when
a child's time in the unit exceeds 5 minutes. Please consult their physician prior to
them entering baptistry.
CONDUCT:
There should be no playing, wrestling or rough-housing in, on or around the unit.
Never allow children to walk around the top area, jump or dive into the baptistry.
Children should always keep their heads above the water unless supervised by an
adult.
RESPONSIBILITY
The responsibility of proper maintenance, conduct, use, and above all safety is all
in your hands as a baptistry owner. The responsibility of informing your guests
and their children of baptistry rules and safety concerns is also your responsibility
and a very important prevention tool.
