Hot tub

HOT TUB SAFETY NOTES AND DISCLAIMER. THIS DOCUMENT MUST BE READ BEFORE YOU MAKE ANY USE OF THE HOT TUB

Always keep the hot tub covered and the cover straps secured when not in use. This will conserve energy and prevent any person/animal or debris from falling into the tub.
Do not turn the hot tub off.
If your hair is long, put it up in a ponytail so as to avoid getting it caught in the filter or drain.
Make sure that the hot tub is at the appropriate temperature, taking into consideration the people who will be using it. The hot tub is pre-set at 38 degrees centigrade, which is just above body temperature. The water temperature should never be above this as this could lead to the body overheating - especially for young children. Children under the age of 8 years old should never use the hot tub, and children under 16 years old must be supervised at all times.
No alcohol, narcotics or medications to be used with the hot tub. The hot water will amplify and speed the effects of any alcohol or drugs. Alcohol makes you drowsy and falling asleep in hot water can be very dangerous. In addition to the risk of drowning, your body cannot regulate its temperature as well as when you are asleep, which can lead to serious overheating.
Never use electrical devices (including phones, radio, TVs or any other corded devices) in or near the hot tub.
Always shower with soap and water before entering the hot tub, in order to remove any lotions etc - people wearing fake tans must not use the hot tub - always shower after using the hot tub in order to remove chlorine etc.
Be cautious when using the hot tub during the winter. If the temperature outside the hot tub is below freezing, water splashed over the edge can quickly freeze into slippery ice. Always be careful when exiting.
To minimise noise disruption to our neighbours, use of the hot tub should only be between the hours of 9am and 10pm.

WARNINGS

Pregnant women should avoid submerging their stomachs in a hot tub, as the temperature is far too hot for the foetus.
If you have heart disease, high blood pressure or diabetes you should check with your doctor before using a hot tub.
As with swimming pools, immediately exit and seek shelter if you see lightning or during any other kind of adverse weather.
