Hot tub safety and children

Kids, Hot Tubs and Spa Safety

When the weather starts to turn and cool off, we all look for a fun relaxing way to warm up. Some of us chose to be snuggled up in blankets, others chose a cozy warm fire and, a few decide to relax in a Hot Tub. However, when it comes to our kids joining us in the Hot Tub a lot of questions get asked. Today we are going to talk about Hot Tub Safety and children in Hot Tubs.

If you are planning on getting a hot tub or own one, be mindful that your kids will more than likely want to join you. Many people ask us: “Is it safe for my child to be in the hot tub”, while there is no straight answer to this question, we have recommended ways to keep you child safe while soaking. Here are a few rules to follow when it comes to Hot Tub Safety.

NEVER take an infant into a hot tub!
- Their skin is too thin and their bodies are not good at regulating temperature so they are prone to overheating.
If you are pregnant do not use hot tubs!
- The hot water will raise your body temperature to a level that can be dangerous for your developing baby.
No Jumping or Diving!
- We all know kids like to jump into pools however, hot tubs are too shallow and unsafe for jumping and diving.
Our recommendation as to what age a child should be in order to be allowed into a hot tub is approximately 5 years or older. Or if they can be flat-footed on the bottom with their head fully above the water.
- Toddlers are often not recommended to be in the hot tub because they still have little control over their bodily functions and cannot regulate their body temperature easily. Additionally, sanitation is an issue with small children due to the lack of control over their bodily functions.
Depending on the temperature of the water, children should not remain in the spa for more than 15 minutes. At a temperature of 98° 15 minutes max. At a temperature of 104° 5 minutes max. At a temperature of 95° 20 minutes max.
- At lower temperatures children can soak longer however, while the are soaking and after soaking make sure they drink lots of water.
Always supervise your children while they are in and around the Spa.
- If children begin to feel sleepy, dizzy, or feel sick to their stomach, they should exit the spa immediately.
If you have children be sure to utilize the locking straps on your cover to ensure your child does not get in unsupervised.
No Pets Allowed!
- Animals don’t have good ways of regulating their body temperature and almost always urinate in water. So, sanitation and the safety of the animal are always a concern.

Why An Artesian Spa?

Why Choose an Artesian Spa?

Founded in 1993, Las Vegas Nevada, Artesian Spas’ founding partners had one goal in mind, to provide customers with the best quality hot tubs and spas, an array of features, and the greatest range of products. With over 100 years of combined hot tub and spa manufacturing experience, they worked together to create Artesian Spas.

Artesian Spas did not become the best in their craft simply overnight, they did so by focusing on people and how they could improve their everyday lives. They recognized that the way of life today is more stressful and pressuring than it was many years ago. Everyday life for many people is accompanied by; tension headaches, back pain, stress, and diabetes. The list of things in our daily life that cause us discomfort, stress, or anxiety, is only growing longer every day. Understanding this, the founders wanted to make a soothing, effective or enjoyable form of relief available to everyone. Artesian Spas’ did just that by creating four lines of Hot Tubs with varying features and price points to suit everyone’s needs.

“We don’t want to be the biggest, we want to be the best! We’re agile, and know that the secret to happy customers is quality, not quantity. We promise to challenge the status-quo and push the industry forward. We’re environmentally conscious, even if it means building the world’s best spas costs us a little more.” ~ George Hendricks, President
