A Gentle Safety Reminder
If you have young children, there are some considerations you need to take before letting them join in on the family soak. While there’s contrasting information on the topic, it’s not recommended that toddlers or any child under the age of five get into a hot tub. Some children can become overheated at 100 degrees or higher, so adjusting your spa settings to about 98 degrees is better. Additionally, you should never leave a young child unattended in a hot tub, even if they can comfortably stand on their own and have their head above the water.
