Similarly, be aware of hair entanglement particularly when somebody with long hair falls asleep or becomes too relaxed to untangle themselves quickly enough. Again the end result could be drowning because their hair has caused their head to be held underwater for too long. There should be an emergency cut-off switch which will immediately turn the power to the drains off, allowing the individual time to untangle their hair. Familiarise yourself with the location of the switch and make sure that everybody who uses the tub also knows where it's situated. Regular testing of this life saving device is vital. Better still ask users with long hair to wear swimming caps!

Other things to avoid taking in the hot tub are alcohol and glass for obvious reasons.

Enjoy the benefits from used hot tubs of course but assume responsibility by using common sense to prevent any potential accidents. Hopefully this article has opened your eyes to some of the dangers and given you the necessary tools to avoid them.
