    • Keep the cover on when not in use. Covers are not fail-proof; they discourage unauthorized access but do not guarantee safety.

    • Impaired or inexperienced users must be supervised.

    Influence of Alcohol or Drugs:

    • Using the Product while under the influence of alcohol, drugs, or medication can severely impair judgment and coordination, increasing the risk of drowning or injury. Do not use under these conditions.

    • Although the Product may come equipped with a safety system disconnect designed to de-energize both hot and neutral wires, this system has NOT been third-party tested.

    • To ensure the highest level of safety, do not rely solely on the safety system disconnect; physically unplug the power cord prior to use.

    • Prolonged immersion below 37°F (2.8°C) can lead to hypothermia, which may result in unconsciousness, organ failure, and potentially death.

    • First-time users should limit cold water immersion to 1 minute; experienced users should limit to 10 minutes.

    Medication and Substance Use:

    • Alcohol, anticoagulants, antihistamines, vasoconstrictors, vasodilators, stimulants, narcotics, or tranquilizers significantly increase the risk of fatal hypothermia.

    • If you experience dizziness, lightheadedness, chest pain, or palpitations, exit immediately.

    • Secure long hair or wear a swim cap; avoid fully submerging your head.

    WARNING – BODY PART ENTRAPMENT

    • Keep limbs and fingers away from drains, filters, or other openings.

    • Regularly inspect and maintain drain covers.
