safe for a healthy adult. Special caution is suggested for yound children. Prolonged
immersion in hot water can induce hyperthermia.
2. Drinking of alcoholic beverages before or during spa or hot tub use can cause drowsiness,
which could lead to unconsciousness and subsequently result in drowning.
3. Pregnant women beware! Soaking in water above 100˚F (38˚C) can cause fetal
damage during the first three months of pregnancy (resulting in the birth of brain-
damaged or deformed child). Pregnant women should adhere to the 100˚F (38˚C)
maximum rule.

accurate thermometer; spa or hot tub thermostats may err in regulating water
temperatures by as much as 4˚F (2.2˚C).

working order.

pressure problems should obtain a physician's advice before using spas or hot tubs.
