Hot Tub Safety and Care Tips Everyone Should Know

Mind the temperature

Keep the water at a comfortable, safe temperature and avoid going too hot. Limit soak times, and take a break or get out if you feel dizzy or overheated. Lower temperatures are advised for children and longer soaks.

Supervise children — always

Never leave children unattended in or near a hot tub, even for a moment. Keep the tub covered and secured when not in use so children can’t access it. Water safety is non-negotiable.

Stay hydrated

Warm water makes you sweat, so drink water before and after a soak. Avoid alcohol in the tub, which increases the risk of overheating and dizziness.

Health first

If you’re pregnant, older, or have heart issues, blood pressure concerns or other health conditions, check with a doctor before using a hot tub, and keep soaks short.

Electrical safety

• Use the correct power supply and any required safety cut-off (RCD).
• Keep electrical parts and connections dry.
• Don’t use damaged cords or plugs; get repairs done professionally.

Get in and out safely

Surfaces around a hot tub get wet and slippery. Move carefully, use a non-slip mat, and have a clear, dry path to step onto.

Keep it clean and covered

Maintain balanced, sanitised water, clean the filter, and use the cover between sessions. A well-maintained tub is both safer and more pleasant to use.

Store properly off-season

If you pack away an inflatable spa, clean and dry it fully first to prevent mould, and store it somewhere dry — especially important through the monsoon.
