5. Persons with a medical history of heart disease,
diabetes, circulatory or blood pressure problems
should consult their physician before using a hot
tub or spa.
6. Persons taking any medication which induces
drowsiness (e.g., tranquilizers, antihistamines, or
anticoagulants) should not use spas or hot tubs.
7. Prolonged immersion in hot water can induce
hyperthermia.
Hyperthermia occurs when the internal body
temperature reaches a level several degrees above the
normal body temperature of 98.6°F (37°C). Symptoms
include dizziness, fainting, drowsiness, lethargy, and an
increase in the internal body temperature. The effects of
hyperthermia include:
• Lack of awareness of impending hazard
• Failure to perceive heat
• Failure to recognize need to leave spa
• Physical inability to leave spa
• Fetal damage in pregnant women
• Unconsciousness resulting in a danger of
drowning

Swimming Pool Energy Saving Tips

It is important to note that a heat pump will not
heat a pool as fast as a large gas or electric pool heater.
If the pool water is allowed to cool significantly, it may
take several days to return to the desired swimming
temperature. For weekend use, it is more economical
to maintain the pool water temperature at or near your
desired swimming temperature. If you do not plan to
use your pool for a prolonged period, then you might
choose to turn the heat pump completely off or decrease
the temperature setting of the control several degrees to
minimize energy consumption.
Air Energy™ offers the following
recommendations to help conserve energy and minimize
the cost of operating your heat pump without sacrificing
comfort.
1. The American Red Cross recommends a maximum
water temperature of 78°F (25°C). Use an accurate
pool thermometer. A difference of 4°F (2°C),
between 78°F (26°C) and 82°F (28°C), will
signifi cantly increase energy consumption.
2. Carefully monitor the water temperature of your
pool in the summertime. You can reduce heat
pump usage due to warmer air temperatures.
3. During the winter or when on vacation for longer
than a week, turn off the heat pump.
4. Find the proper setting on the heat pump
temperature control and use the Set Point Lockout
function or lock the smoke-colored cover on
the heat pump controller to discourage further
adjustments.
5. Set the pump time clock to start the pump no
earlier than 6:00 AM during the pool heating
season. This is the time when nightly heat loss
balances.
6. Where possible, shelter the pool from prevailing
winds with well-trimmed hedges or other
landscaping, cabanas, or fencing.
7. Always use a pool cover when practical. Besides
providing a valuable safety feature, a pool cover
will reduce heat loss, conserve chemicals, and
reduce the load on fi lter systems.
