AVOIDING THE RISK OF
HYPERTHERMIA
Prolonged immersion in hot water can result in
HYPERTHERMIA, a dangerous condition which
occurs when the internal temperature of the body
reaches a level above normal 98.6°F (37ºC). The
symptoms of hyperthermia include unawareness
of impending hazard, failure to perceive heat,
failure to recognize the need to exit the spa,
physical inability to exit the spa, fetal damage in
pregnant women, and unconsciousness resulting
in a danger of drowning.
WARNING:
The use of alcohol, drugs, or medication can
greatly increase the risk of fatal hyperthermia in
hot tubs and spas.
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF INJURY:
• The water in the spa should never exceed
104°F (40°C). Water temperatures
between 100°F (38°C) and 104°F
(40°C) are considered safe for a healthy
adult. Lower water temperatures
are recommended for extended use
(exceeding 10 minutes) and for young
children. Extended use can cause
hyperthermia.
• Pregnant or possibly pregnant women
should limit spa water temperatures to
100°F (38°C). Failure to do so may result
in permanent injury to your baby.
• Do not use spa immediately following
strenuous exercise.
AVOIDING THE RISK OF SKIN
BURNS:
• To reduce the risk of injury, before entering
a spa the user should measure the water
temperature with an accurate thermometer.
• Test the water with your hand before
entering the spa to be sure it's
comfortable.
