  •  ADVICE & GUIDANCE FOR HOT TUB USERS

Because of the high temperature of Hot Tub water (37 – 40 deg C) if users do not take great care about how they use the Hot Tub, they will very quickly create an environment containing solids in which legionella and other bacteria can breed. Some people are more susceptible than others.

The Spa facilities are cleaned prior to every use.

Outdoor access to the BBQ / hot tub/ sauna facility until 11PM

 

WHAT TO BRING TO THE HOT TUB

  • Slippers or flip flops to only use in the sauna
  • Towels
  • Bathing-suit
  • Hooks are located on the adjacent wall to hang your towels and items.

  

PRACTICAL ADVICE

  • Remove all cosmetic products from your skin, self-tanner, lotions, oils, makeup and jewellery before entering the hot tub.
  • Bathers must use the toilet and rinse in the shower before entering the spa pool.
  • Bathers must not use the spa pool if they have had diarrhoea within the last 14 days.

  • Pregnant women are advised to consult with their doctor before using a spa pool.
  • PLEASE unlock the straps before lifting the lid. Put back down the lid after use and clip to locking straps back into place.This is what keeps the water hot when not in use and keeps the area safe for children.

  • Keep children and pets well away from the cooking area.
  • Never leave the BBQ, hotplate or grill unattended.
  • Food may be consumed by the BBQ or gravelled dining area.
  • After cooking, turn off the gas cylinder before turning off the controls on the BBQ to ensure any residual gas in the hose and pipework is used up.

IMPORTANT

Carbon monoxide (CO) is a highly poisonous gas which can be produced if an appliance is not

working correctly. It is difficult to recognise as it has no colour, smell or taste. Symptoms of CO

poisoning are similar to that of a viral infection. It affects the mental ability causing a person to

become incapable without knowing.

Symptoms of exposure to Carbon Monoxide:

 

  • Tightness across the forehead
  • Headache
  • Serve a headache, weakness, dizziness, nausea, vomiting.
