To ensure a safe and enjoyable hot tub experience, we strongly recommend adhering to the following safety precautions. Ensure you understand these instructions before use.
Child Safety: STRICTLY NO ACCESS AT ALL FOR ANY CHILD UNDER 5 YEARS OF AGE. It is our advice that no child under the age of 14 is to use the hot tub. Children must not have unsupervised access to the hot tub. Monitor children at all times to prevent accidents. Lower water temperatures are suggested for young children, as their skin is more sensitive to hot water.
- Remind children about the slipperiness of wet surfaces to avoid accidents while entering or exiting the hot tub.
- Do not allow children to climb onto the thermal cover, or to dive or jump into the hot tub from the outside.
- Diving Prohibition: Avoid diving into the hot tub. This action can lead to serious injuries or even death.
- Thermal Lid: Your Hot Tub comes with a thermal lid, it meets the standard for protective covers. Ensure the lid is always locked post-use for the safety of children. Please ensure the lid is kept on at all times when not using the hot tub.
- Water Temperature: Always test the water temperature manually or with a thermometer before allowing anyone to enter the hot tub. Ensure the temperature is comfortable to prevent scalds or burns.
- Unattended Access: Unauthorized and unsupervised access to the hot tub should be strictly avoided.
- Suction Grate: Do not remove the suction grate from the water pump to mitigate the risk of injury. The hot tub’s jets produce powerful suction, and damaged covers can pose a risk to young children and adults with long hair. If any body part is drawn into these fittings, immediately shut off the hot tub. As an additional safety measure, individuals with long hair should tie it up.
- The hot tubs are for the sole use of the occupants of the glamping pod.
- Water Temperature: Before entering the hot tub, check the water temperature using the accurate thermometer, The water temperature should never exceed 40°C (104°F). A safe range for healthy adults Is between, 36°C and 40°C. Prolonged use (more than 10 minutes) and young children should be in cooler water.
- Hyperthermia: Extended immersion in hot water may lead to hyperthermia, where your internal body temperature exceeds the normal 37°C. Symptoms include health threat unawareness, inability to perceive heat, failure to recognize the need to exit the tub, physical incapacity to exit, unconsciousness, and in pregnant women, potential fetal damage Pregnant or potentially pregnant women should limit hot tub water temperature to 36°C and duration of use. It’s recommended they consult a doctor before use, as excessive water temperatures early in pregnancy can result in fetal damage.
- Post-Exercise: Do not use the hot tub immediately after rigorous exercise.
- Suction Fittings: Ensure suction fittings match the specific water flow of the pump. Never replace them with fittings that have a lower flow rate.
- Slip Hazards: Wet surfaces can be slippery. Be cautious when entering or exiting the hot tub, especially in frosty weather. We advise wearing footwear around on the decking.
- Suction Fittings: Do not operate your hot tub if suction fittings are missing or damaged.
