Risks of Hyperthermia
WARNING: To reduce the risk of injury, the water temperature in a
spa should never exceed 104ºF (40ºC). Water
temperatures between 100ºF (38ºC) and 104ºF (40ºC)
are considered safe for a healthy adult. Lower water
temperatures are recommended for young children,
senior citizens, and when
spa use exceeds 10 minutes.
WATER TEMPERATURE IN EXCESS OF 100ºF (38ºC)
MAY BE INJURIOUS TO YOUR HEALTH.
Because excessive water temperatures have a high potential for causing
fetal damage during early pregnancy, pregnant or potentially pregnant
women should limit water temperatures to 100ºF (38ºC). Before entering
a
spa, measure the water temperature with an accurate thermometer.
The tolerances of water temperature-regulating devices vary.
Hyperthermia occurs when the internal temperature of the body reaches
a level several degrees above the normal body temperature of 98.6ºF
(37ºC). The symptoms of hyperthermia include drowsiness, lethargy, and
an increase in the internal temperature of the body. The effects of
hyperthermia include:
• Unawareness of impending hazard
• Failure to perceive heat
• Failure to recognize the need to exit
spa
• Physical inability to exit
spa
• Fetal damage in pregnant women
• Unconsciousness and danger of drowning
