WHY MUST I SHOWER BEFORE ENTERING THE HOT TUBPlease Note - The hot tub is NOT a bath! Showering with soap and water before using the hot tub removes bacteria from your body and removes lotions, deodorants, perfumes, dead skin cells etc. This stops the hot tub filters becoming clogged from your oils and body waste. Guests must shower before entering the hot tub and after receiving maasages or reflexology to remove the oils. THIS IS ESSENTIAL. It is also essential to WASH OFF MAKEUP, BEFORE ENTERING THE HOT TUB otherwise it will react with the chemicals in the hot tub resulting in the water discolouring and the clogging of the water filters. Please ensure you completely rinse off shower gels and ensure hair is tied up so shampoos are also not reacting with the water. Failure to do so will result in you having to vacate the hot tub earlier than expected to facilitate water changes for our next guests. It takes 12 hours to reheat the water andf 2.5 hours to empty and refill the hot tub resulting in unnecessary escalting electricity bills as well as having to renew the filters earlier than expexted. You will be refused entry if you are wearing fake tan. Guests MUST shower after massages to remove the oils from your body. You will be refused entry back into the hot tub unless you shower to remove the oils from your body

IS DRINKING IN THE HOT TUB A GOOD IDEA?NO - A hot tub will make you feel more drunk as your heart rate will be higher and your blood vessels dilated. The alcohol will be absorbed into your bloodstream faster and pumped around the body at a higher rate. Add in the extra effects of dehydration in a hot tub and you WILL FEEL MORE DRUNK MORE QUICKLY and this can be a very dangerous situation. What can I do to make my not guilty pleasure as safe as possible? Alternate drinks and Exit the hot tub every 20 minutes - One of the main problems in a hot tub and also when drinking alcohol is one of dehydration. DO AS MUCH AS YOU CAN TO PREVENT DEHYDRATION by starting off with a large glass of water BEFORE you get into the hot tub for the first time. Have a bottle of water with you by the side of the hot tub and sip from it regulary. The advantage of this is that you can see how much or how little water you have drunk and regulate your water intake more easily

Danger of drinking alcohol in a hot tubIt is a very good idea to bring a bottle of water as you can very quickly become dehydrated in a hot tub. Add in the effects of drinking alcohol and this will vastly increase the liklihood of becoming dehydrated and drunk as the alcohol will be absored into your bloodstream faster and pumped around the body at a higher rate. Consequently this can lead to a very dangerous and unpredicatble situation!
