Never leave the spa or hot tub unsupervised. When supervision is not available, even for a moment, close the spa or hot tub. It makes sense to pay special attention to educating young children about safety precautions. Teach your children about equipment maintenance and proper upkeep of the spa or hot tub. As they get older, your children will learn from your example that they must respect the spa or hot tub and surrounding area, and act responsibly.
Instruction is available from local community organizations.
Soaking Safety Soaking in your spa or hot tub is relaxing, warm and wonderful. The hot water soothes your body and rejuvenates your spirits. But that same hot water holds some potential dangers. Before entering, look at the water in your spa or hot tub. Be sure to maintain the water properly.
