Outer banks Vaction Home Pool and Hot Tub Information

 

IMPORTANT RENTAL HOME POOL INFORMATION. . .
Here on the Outer Banks pools are serviced on the day of your arrival and a chemical check is performed mid week. There is a skimmer net available to you for surface cleaning of debris. It is normal to see sand in the pool, especially on windy days. Sand in the pool does not alter the chemical balance. However, if the entire pool is cloudy, and you cannot see the main drain, you will not want to swim and you will need to contact our maintenance department. For further information or concerns, contact the Maintenance Department at 252-261-3934, ext. 234.

Also remember, children should NEVER be left to swim unattended.

IF YOUR RENTAL HOME HAS A HOT TUB. . .
CAUTION - Do not stay in hot tub over 30 minutes and always have someone with you while in the tub. Overuse of the hot tub will result in chemical imbalances and may be harmful to one's health. Elderly persons and infants, persons with medical problems such as heart conditions, low or high blood pressure, pregnancy, obesity, circulatory system problems, diabetes and other health conditions requiring medical care and persons using medication should consult a physician before using hot tub. Children should be supervised and carefully watched at all times. Infants and children under the age of 12 should not be using the hot tub. Hot water immersion while under the influence of alcohol, drugs or medicines may lead to unconsciousness with the possibility of drowning. Do not use any electrical appliances, including personal radios and telephones, while in hot tub! There is a RISK OF ELECTROCUTION!!!

THE HOT TUB/SPA IS CLEANED AND SERVICED ON EACH CHANGEOVER DAY - The chemicals used in the tub are activated by the water temperature and the thermostat is set for normal use. Allow several hours for the tub to reach desired temperature. It takes about 10 hours to heat the water after draining and to allow a good mix of the chemicals and 24 hours for the water to appear clear. It is a good idea not to use the hot tub until 7 PM on your check-in day. Call us on check-in day if spa has not been cleaned (261-3934).

THE HOT TUB/SPA IS CHECKED AGAIN AT MID-WEEK - If the tub is excessively dirty and a mid-week cleaning is required, there will be an additional $40 service charge.

TEMPERATURE SETTING - Water temperature should not exceed 104 degrees F. Lower water temperatures are recommended for extended use (exceeding 10 - 15 minutes).

JET SETTINGS - Blowers and high jet settings should not be used for more than 30 minutes. Excessive use can cause overheating and permanent damage to the motor. Leave tub on low jets, and replace cover when not in use.

HOT TUB COVER - Hot tub covers are fragile; please use care. Please do not sit on hot tub cover as it may break! The styrofoam inserts crack easily and are expensive to replace. If cover is found damaged, your security deposit will be held. Keeping the hot tub covered when not in use will help keep the water warm

SHOWER BEFORE ENTERING SPA - Suntan lotions and sand (check bathing suit) can clog the plumbing, cause malfunction, upset the spa water balance, and is difficult to get out of the tub.

PLEASE DO NOT OVER-CROWD THE TUB - Too many people in the tub causes the water level to rise and overflow, resulting in motor damage.

SLIPPERY SURFACES - Always enter and exit spa slowly. Surfaces may be wet and slippery.

FLOATERS - It is important that all chemical floaters remain in the hot tub in order to maintain the chemical balance. This helps keep the water clean.

IF HOT TUB DOES NOT WORK - First check the circuit breaker box. Turn the tub off, hit the reset button and wait for the covered tub to reheat (6-8 hours). If the Hot Tub won't heat, or jets won't start, you may need to reset the High Limit Switch, located usually on a gray box under or around the tub. There may be a GFI reset switch in the same area. If so, reset it also. Wait for the tub to cool before resetting. If resetting is required more than 2 times in a half hour, please call the office for service (261-3934). DO NOT continue to reset more than 2 times!

HOT TUB SERVICE CHARGE - Guests will be charged $35 hot tub service if the tub only requires resetting. Damage to the spa caused through misuse is the responsibility of the Guest.
