NOTE: Spas used weekly by different families should be routinely drained and filters soaked in chemicals at least once a month. It is recommended that spas be drained and refilled with each rental for medical and liability reasons. The owner should contact us to ensure proper maintenance.
You should routinely drain, clean and refill spa once every three to six months, depending on usage, as a spa is nothing more than a large bathtub. Spas can get chemical-bound and contaminated rapidly, due to the warm temperatures, which promote algae and bacterial growth.
**Hot Tub Safety Tips**
Using a hot tub can be a relaxing and enjoyable experience, but it's essential to prioritize safety to prevent accidents or injuries. Here are some key safety tips to keep in mind:
1. **Supervise Children:** Never allow children to use the hot tub unsupervised. Always have an adult present, and make sure children are tall enough to stand with their head completely out of the water.
2. **Limit Soaking Time:** To avoid overheating, limit hot tub sessions to 15-20 minutes. Prolonged exposure can cause dizziness, nausea, or dehydration.
3. **Monitor Water Temperature:** Keep the water temperature below 104°F (40°C). Temperatures above this can cause overheating, heat exhaustion, or even heat stroke.
4. **Stay Hydrated:** The heat from the hot tub can cause dehydration, so make sure to drink plenty of water before, during, and after your soak. Avoid alcohol consumption, as it can increase the risk of dehydration, dizziness, or accidents.
5. **Avoid Electrical Devices:** Never use electrical devices such as radios, phones, or hairdryers near the hot tub to avoid the risk of electric shock.
6. **Maintain Clean Water:** Regularly check and maintain the water's chemical balance to prevent the growth of bacteria and other harmful organisms. Dirty water can lead to skin irritation, infections, or other health problems.
7. **Enter and Exit Carefully:** Use the steps or handrails when entering or exiting the hot tub to prevent slipping or falling. Wet surfaces can be slippery, so exercise caution.
8. **Consult Your Doctor:** If you have any medical conditions, such as heart disease, high blood pressure, or diabetes, consult your doctor before using a hot tub. Pregnant women should also consult their healthcare provider to ensure hot tub use is safe for them.
9. **Use a Hot Tub Cover:** When the hot tub is not in use, always cover it to prevent unauthorized access, especially by children or pets. A cover will also help keep the water clean and maintain its temperature.
10. **Know the Signs of Overheating:** If you start feeling lightheaded, dizzy, or overheated, exit the hot tub immediately. Cool down by drinking water and resting.
By following these hot tub safety guidelines, you can enjoy a relaxing experience while minimizing the risk of accidents or injuries.
