- Please do not sit or stand on the spa cover. It was not designed to take your weight, and it is wicked expensive to replace if broken.
- When opening the cover, release the two clips at the front, lift the skirt to release the vacuum seal, and lift by the handle only after the seal is broken. Fold the front half of the cover on top of the back half and use the handle to rotate the cover off of the tub.
- Please do not exceed the capacity of 5 persons.
- Do not leave children under 16 unattended.
- Do not bring glassware into the hot tub. Plastic wine glasses and cups are provided in the kitchen.
- Do not use the spa if you are pregnant, have heart problems, or other medical conditions that could be aggravated by heat.
- Avoid using the spa if you are unwell or have open wounds.
- Do not use the hot tub as a loo.
- Do not submerge your head or swallow the water.
- Do not use the spa if you are intoxicated by drugs or alcohol.
- No diving. I mean, I can’t believe we have to say that one, but you wouldn’t believe what people get up to!
- Do not bring electrical devices into the hot tub (like vapes, phones, or speakers).
- No diving, running, or horseplay in or around the hot tub – surfaces may be slippery.
- No boxing in the hot tub.
- No dogs in the hot tub. And, in case your kids are as curious as mine: no cats, no parrots, no lizards, nor pets of any kind.
- Do not use the hot tub if winds are gusting >40mph. We tried once – it was not fun or relaxing. The cover will not stay open in high wind and will repeatedly bang you on the head if you try.
- No chicken-fights in the hot tub.
