HOT TUB & SPAS RISK

While a great way for grown ups to unwind, hot tubs and spas pose a particular threat to little ones. The vigorous jets, and lots of bubbles can seem fun and be attractive to little ones, however, they can hamper even a skilled child's ability to save himself.

Water Temperature

To prevent dehydration, or heat- related illness, keeping the water temperature below 100 degrees Fahrenheit is safer for small children.

Always check the temperature first with your hand before entering.

 

Covers & Locks

When the spa or hot tub is not in use, secure it with a hard top cover with a latch that locks.

 

Hot Tub Controls

Find a way to prevent children from manipulating the controls for the hot tub. Once they find out how to activate the jets, they will, whether you are there or not.

 

Remember, drowning is a silent epidemic.

A child will slip into a pool or spa without

a sound or a splash.
