9. Place only on surfaces that can withstand the floor loading
requirements of your tub. If you do not know the rating of your floor,
consult a properly licensed architect or engineer before filling. See
specifications on page 27.
10. NEVER use sharp utensils in or around the Softub. Sharp
objects can puncture the vinyl.
11. Handle the Hydromate gently. Avoid lifting or carrying by the
plumbing assembly. Components may incur damage if dropped.
12. Do not open the Hydromate or the GFCI. There are no user
serviceable parts inside. Opening either component will void the
warranty and may cause serious bodily injury or death.
13. Pets should be kept away from the Softub to avoid damage.
14. Findings in the “Journal of the American Medical Association”
show that women who are planning a pregnancy or who are
experiencing the first months of pregnancy should avoid hot tubs
and spas. Consult your physician before using the Softub if you are or
may be pregnant.
15. Prolonged immersion in hot water may induce hyperthermia.
Hyperthermia occurs when the internal temperature of the body
reaches a level several degrees above the normal body temperatures
of 98.6º F. Symptoms of hyperthermia include dizziness, lethargy,
drowsiness and fainting. Effects of hyperthermia include failure to
perceive heat, failure to recognize the need to exit the hot tub,
unawareness of impending hazard, fetal damage in pregnant women,
physical inability to exit the hot tub, and unconsciousness resulting in
the danger of drowning.
WARNING: The use of alcohol, drugs or medication can greatly
increase the risk of fatal hyperthermia.
16. Do not fill the Softub through any water-softening device as
this could damage the liner.
17. A properly cared for and maintained Softub has an expected
service life of 6 - 8 years. As is the same with most other recreational
water products and outdoor appliances, it is recommended that after 5
years of service, the Hydromate and tub be inspected and serviced by
an authorized service center to ensure continued operation and
performance.
