To ensure the safe and enjoyable use of the hot tub, we request that you read through and adhere to the following:

• Persons who are pregnant, have heart disease, diabetes, low or high blood pressure, or any serious illness should not enter the hot tub without prior consultation with their doctor.
• People with skin, ear, genital or other body infections, open sores or wounds should not use the hot tub due of the possibility of spreading infection.
• The use of the hot tub by persons under the age of 16 is strictly prohibited.
• The heat of the hot tub water speeds up the effects of alcohol and can cause sleepiness, dizziness and unconsciousness. Do not use whilst/after drinking alcohol.
• Never use the hot tub whilst using or after using narcotics or other drugs that may cause sleepiness, drowsiness or raise/lower blood pressure.
• The water will be kept at a temperature of 37 o C (please do not attempt to adjust this). You are advised to limit the time spent in the hot tub to a maximum of 1 hour per session.
• Please do not use the hot tub whilst wearing fake tan or any other lotions/creams.
• 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, creams, fake tan etc. which reduce the effectiveness of the spa sanitiser which disinfects the water.
• 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 the suction below the water line.
• Please make sure that the hot tub cover is replaced and secured when the hot tub is not in use.
• Never use the hot tub alone.
• A maximum of 2 people should use the hot tub at any one time. Care should be taken that water doesn’t leave the hot tub, as if the water level drops, it may cause the pumps to run dry and break the hot tub. If this happens at any time the owners should be informed immediately on 07385 216694 so the tub can be re filled and re-balanced. Under no circumstances should the tub be used until this has been done.
• Avoid using the hot tub immediately after a heavy meal.
• Take care when entering and leaving the hot tub. When leaving the tub, leg muscles may be relaxed enough to make you unsteady.
• Avoid entering the hot tub water immediately after exercising as the water temperature can affect the heart rate.
• Never use glass near/in the hot tub as broken glass can cause a risk to people in barefoot and is very difficult to see within the hot tub water.
• Take care on the steps by the hot tub as water from the tub can cause it to be slippery.
• Do not use any electrical appliances near/in the hot tub.
• If any allergic reaction occurs, leave the hot tub and rinse off in the shower. If the reaction persists, please contact a doctor.
• If any fault or damage occurs with the hot tub, please contact the owners on 07385 216694 immediately.
• Do not turn the hot tub isolation switch off except in an emergency as the hot tub power needs to be turned on to carry out the cleaning cycles.
• Ensure no contaminants i.e. bubble bath, alcohol, oils etc are placed in the water as this can upset the chemical balance of the water and can result in allergic reactions.
