House Manual – Tyndall

Our guests love using the hot tub at our vacation rental! It’s a great way to spend time relaxing while staying at our home. There are a few things we ask you to bear in mind regarding the hot tub:

Please read all instructions prior to using the hot tub.

Step-by-step photo guide: for opening the cover, setting the temperature, jets, lights, and closing up when you’re done, see the Hot Tub Guide for 1210 Tyndall Street.

• Please avoid using glass tableware or glass bottles near the hot tub. You should use plastic cups for any outdoor drinks.
• in order to prevent RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK no electric appliance, such as light, telephone, radio, or television, cell phone chargers, radios, etc are allowed within within 5 feet (1.5m) of the spa.
• Guests must shower before entering the hot tub to rinse off any sunscreen, self-tanning solutions, or lotions.
• Capacity is 4-6 adult – you should never use the hot tub alone. always have someone with you.
• Children must be supervised at all times
• Leave cover on and locks attached when not in use.

WARNING TO REDUCE THE RISK OF INJURY:

1. The water in a spa should never exceed 104°F (40°C). Water temperatures between 100°F (38°C) and 104°F
2. (40°C) are considered safe for a healthy adult. Lower water temperatures are recommended for your children and when spa use exceeds 10 minutes.
3. Since excessive water temperatures have high potential for fetal damage during the early months of pregnancy, pregnant or possibly pregnant women should limit spa water temperatures to 100°F (38°C).
4. Before entering spa, the user should measure the water temperature with an accurate thermometer since the tolerances of water temperature-regulating devices vary.
5. The use of alcohol, drugs, or medication before or during spa use may lead to unconsciousness with the possibility of drowning.
6. Persons suffering from obesity or with a medical history of heart disease, low or high blood pressure, circulatory system problems, or diabetes should consult a physician before using a spa.
7. Persons using medication should consult a physician before using a spa since some medication may induce drowsiness while other medication may affect heart rate, blood pressure, and circulation.

WARNING:

1. People with infectious diseases should not use a spa or hot tub.
2. To avoid injury, exercise care when entering or exiting a spa or hot tub.
3. Do not use a spa or hot tub immediately following strenuous exercise.
4. Prolonged immersion in a spa or hot tub may be injurious to your health.

The water in your spa must NOT be warmer than 100°- 104° F (38°-40°C).

The National Spa and Pool Institute consider a temperature of 100°F (38°C) safe and comfortable for a healthy adult. Most healthy adults can enjoy this water temperature for as long as desired, although it may raise the body temperature to the water temperature and eventually become uncomfortable (like a fever). At higher water temperatures the soaking time should be shorter; never soak for more than 20 minutes when the water temperature is 102°F (39°C) or higher. If you are planning a long rest in the spa, lower the water temperature closer to normal body temperature, about 99°F (37.2°C). Some people find even lower water temperatures relaxing and pleasing. Try different water temperatures in the 98°-102°F (36.6°-39°C) range until you find what temperatures suit you best.

Hot water can raise the body temperature high enough to cause heat stroke.

This can be fatal even to healthy adults. If you have any questions about your own fitness or whether you should soak in the spa, check with your physician.

Prolonged immersion in hot water may induce hyperthermia.

Hyperthermia occurs when internal body temperature reaches a level several degrees above the normal body temperature of 98.6°F (36.6°C). The symptoms of hyperthermia include: (1) dizziness, (2) fainting, (3) drowsiness, (4) lethargy, (5) increases in the internal body temperature. The effects of hyperthermia include: (1) unawareness of impending hazard, (2) failure to perceive heat, (3) failure to recognize the need to exit spa, (4) physical inability to exit spa, (5) unconsciousness resulting in danger of drowning.

WARNING: The use of alcohol, drugs, or medication can greatly increase the risk of fatal hyperthermia in hot tubs or spas. Despite the popular image of people in spas drinking wine or other alcoholic beverages, DO NOT use alcoholic beverages before or during spa use. Alcohol is a depressant which causes slowed reflexes and drowsiness, especially in conjunction with the relaxed soaking in hot water. This can lead to sleep or unconsciousness and possibly result in drowning. Using your spa with other people who are also drinking is not a preventative measure since they are likely to become similarly affected by the combinations of alcohol and hot water soaking.

Soaking in hot water causes changes in the circulatory system, such as enlargement of blood vessels near the skin. Therefore, people with a medical history of heart disease, circulatory problems, diabetes, high or low blood pressure should check with their physician before using spas. Additionally, people taking medications causing drowsiness, such as tranquilizers, narcotics, antihistamines, or anticoagulants should not use spas without asking their physician.

Removing the cover:

TIP: Leave the cover on while you heat the hot tub. Removing the cover prior will increase the heating time duration

Release the cover by pinching in the two barbs of the strap as indicated

Hot Tub Instructions:

The spa is automatically pre-set to operate until it reaches 100°F (38°C). This process could take up to 20 hours depending on the initial water temperature. The spa is also preset to filter the water for 1 hour per day. Please do not unplug the spa or turn it off.

Temperature Adjustment 60°F-104°F (15°C-40°C): When either of the Accu-temp pads A B are pressed once, the LCD will display the temperature which has been set. Each time either one of these pads are pressed again, the temperature will change by 1°. After 5 seconds, the LCD will automatically display the current spa temperature.

Jets: Press the C pad to run the pump on and off. If left running, the pump will automatically turn off after 15 minutes.

Adjustable LED Light: To turn the light on, press the D button. Press again to turn it off. To adjust the color modes, press the D button immediately after turning it off. The light will come back on in a new color mode. Each time you repeat this procedure, the light will cycle to a new color mode, as shown below. If left on, the light will automatically turn off after four hours.

1. Color wheel. The light will slowly blend cycle through the colors.

DO NOT ENTER THE WATER. If the spa water has reached 108°F (44°C), remove the spa cover to cool the water. The spa will remain shut down until the water and the heater sensor cools to 104°F (40°C). At that point press any button to reset the spa. If the spa will not reset, shut off the power to the spa and contact us.
