- 14. It is vital that the spa stays clean for your own safety. Dirty water can result in the water balance changing which seriously diminishes the effectiveness of the sanitising chemicals. This in turn can lead to nasty microbiological bacteria multiplying rapidly causing a number of serious hazards to the user's health. Over-use of the hot tub and prolonged use by individuals can lead to skin irritation and rashes.
- 15. If the hot tub is overused and the water becomes dirty, we will need to drain down, sanitise, and refill it. Guests should be aware that failure to maintain a clean hot tub may lead to it being put out of use during your stay. The hot tub must not be used unless the water is completely clean and clear.
- 16. It is very important that the Hot tub is never switched off at the mains switch (even if you are not using it). There may be an extra charge deducted from your damage deposit if the tub is switched off during your stay.
- 17. There may be a floating Chemical Sanitising Dispenser in the hot tub. It is vital that this is left in the hot tub when the tub is not in use.
