The image of a tanned, zinc-nosed lifeguard keeping a vigilante watch over your hot tub seems pretty silly. But the need for safety cannot be ignored. Those who own a multi-person hot tub need to establish safety just as those who own small-sized hot tubs.
Hot Tub Safety Tip 1 – Keep Watch
Regardless of a user’s profile (they can be a ten-year-old music prodigy or your thirty-year-old son that still lives in the basement!), make sure those using the hot tub are supervised. Most people think of children in regards to water safety; ‘Adults’ are not immune to accidents – they need supervision too.
Hot Tub Safety Tip 2 – Limit or Ban Drinking
We want our hot tub customers to enjoy themselves in their own fashion, but encourage them to drink responsibly when using their tubs. Being in a hot tub for some time can make a person feel dizzy or become lightheaded. Those symptoms, in conjunction with drinking, may not mix well with safety.
Hot Tub Safety Tip 3 – Be Cognizant of the Tub’s Structure
All hot tubs are not created equally. For instance, a Free Spirit hot tub may differ in shape in comparison to a BellaGrande hot tub. Make users aware of the location of drains, jets, filters, and other elements of your hot tub.
Hot Tub Safety Tip 4 – Respect Mother Nature
We know – the chances of getting hit by lightning are slim to none. Well, we would rather see you win the lottery, so we encourage you to please stay out of the hot tub before, during, and immediately after a storm.
Hot Tub Safety Tip 5 – Be Prepared
Keep a first-aid kit somewhere close to your hot tub. In addition, knowing CPR would not be a bad thing. It is best to seek certification, but we will provide a link below to a WebMD article addressing CPR and rescue breathing.
