Enjoy your Hot Tub safely.
Are you lucky! You have a hot tub! What a great way to relax and unwind. But, there are some safety issues when it comes to these restful tubs.
Please call TVR if you have any questions or need service at your pool. 786-5853.
1. CHILD SAFETY: Don’t use a hot tub as a babysitter. Experts say a child can drown in less than 5 minutes. Be sure all children are supervised at all times in any hot tub no matter how shallow the water. In large groups, appoint a designated watcher to protect young children from hot tub accidents.
2. GENERAL SAFETY TIPS: The highest temperature setting allowed for a hot tub is 104°. No running, rough-play, or glass is allowed in or around the hot tub area. Persons under the influence of alcohol or drugs should not enter the hot tub. No unattended solo bathing. People with long hair should tie it up to prevent their hair from being pulled into the filter or drain. Do not enter the hot tub during heavy rain or when thunder or lightening can be heard. TVR recommends that guests have a First Aid Kit on hand in case of minor emergencies. Persons with diabetes, high blood pressure, heart disease or other cardiovascular conditions or women who are pregnant should consult their physicians before using a hot tub. Limit your soak time to no more than 15 to 20 minutes at a time. Cool off then re-enter if you like. Please call 911 for emergency assistance.
3. CONTAMINATION: Hot tub chemistry is very sensitive to changes due to rain, human waste, salt water, sand, etc. Please practice good hygiene. Shower with soap and water before entering the hot tub. When coming from the beach shower to remove sand and salt before entering the hot tub. Please, no toys or floatation devices in hot tub. Take children on bathroom breaks or change diapers often. Wash your hands after using the bathroom or changing diapers. Teach children to keep hot tub water out of their mouths. Children not potty-trained must wear waterproof pants in the hot tub. Persons with skin, eye, ear or nasal infections are not to enter the hot tub. Persons with cuts, open blisters or communicable diseases are not to enter the hot tub. Please no food or beverages in the hot tub.
4. DIVING: Never dive into a hot tub. Enter the water carefully feet first.
5. ATTIRE: Do not wear blue jean cut-offs or make-shift swimwear into the water. They can clog the hot tub drain or filter and may cause damage.
Enjoy your hot tub–safely!!
