Lower water temperatures are recommended for extended use (over 10 minutes) and for young children. Extended use can increase the risk of hyperthermia. Pregnant, or possibly pregnant, women should limit the hot tub temperature to 38°C. Failure to do so may result in permanent injury to your baby. CHILDREN UNDER 3 SHOULD NOT USE THE HOT TUB.
  2. To avoid burns please test the water with your hand before entering the hot tub to make sure it is comfortable.
  3. To avoid causing water contamination showering before using the hot tub is compulsory.

Please make sure that children are careful when entering or exiting the hot tub and please remind them that wet surfaces can be very slippery. To reduce the risk of injury, lower water temperatures are recommended for young children as children are especially sensitive to hot water.
