During pregnancy soaking in the hot tub may cause damage to the foetus, so contact your Doctor for advice before using the hot tub, to ensure it is safe for you to do so.
Do not tamper with any electricals or settings on the hot tub other than as described in the user guide. Should you tamper with these & it results in the hot tub having to be drained & refilled or damaged you will be charged.
People with skin, ear, genital or other body infections, open sores, or wounds should not use the hot tub because of the possibility of spreading infection or irritating your condition.
The use of alcohol, drugs or medication, before or during spa use is prohibited.
At 39/40 ®C limit your time in the hot tub to a maximum of 20 minutes, as extending this time can affect your inner organs and cause fever like conditions.
Persons using medication should consult a physician before using a spa since some medication may induce drowsiness, while other medication may affect heart rate, blood pressure & circulation.
Do not immerse your head in the hot tub water. This increases the risk of infection and can heighten the dangers of drowning due to suction below the water line.
Never use the hot tub alone. Take care when entering and leaving the hot tub. When leaving the hot tub leg muscles may be relaxed enough to make you unsteady.
Never use glass near or in the hot tub, as broken glass can cause a risk to people in bare feet and is very difficult to see within the hot tub water.

If any fault or damage occurs with the hot tub, please contact the owner of your property at the earliest convenient moment.

Parents are advised that the hot tubs are not suitable for children under the age of four and to warn their children not to allow water in to their mouths as this can cause infection and illness.
Make sure fake tan is removed before using the hot tub as this reacts to the chemicals and reduces the effectiveness of the spa sanitizer which disinfects the water. It also colours the water and marks the waterline of the hot tub.
Shower with soap and water before and after using the hot tub. Showering before use washes away many of the common skin bacteria and removes lotions, deodorants, creams, etc., which reduce the effectiveness of the spa sanitizer which disinfects the water.
The heat of the hot tub water speeds up the effects of alcohol and can cause sleepiness, dizziness and unconsciousness.
Shaving or other acts of personal hygiene are not allowed in the hot tub.
Never allow children to use the hot tub unsupervised and when not in use make sure the cover is on and secured.
Avoid entering the hot tub water immediately after exercising as the water temperature can affect the heart rate.
