DO not use the hot tub if you have been advised by your doctor not to bath in hot water. The temperature is always between 100-103 F.
Only registered guests may use the amenities at Blue Mountains Bed and Breakfast. Visitors are not allowed.
Always shower before using the Hot Tub.
Users may not wear or use any lotions, oils, cleaners or perfumes in the hot tub. This will contaminate the water and potentially place it out of service, require a full water exchange or new filter. Sun tan oil is particularly damaging to the water and filter.
All guests with Long hair must be tie it up or wrap in a towel or head scarf.
Bathing suits must be worn, no street clothing or non-traditional bathing suites allowed.
No glass or other breakable items may be taken into or placed on the edge of the hot tub. We provide plastic and stainless-steel beverage wear for use in the pool enclosure.

Guests only need to press the MASSAGE or LIGHT buttons. Pressing more than one button at a time, can place the Hot Tub into sleep or programming mode and cause the Hot Tub to be out of service.
The Hot tub is NOT to be used as a swimming pool examples : NO diving, jumping, splashing water over the edges, swimming under water or pool toys inside.
The correct water level keeps the pumps operating properly. Overloading the hot tub will cause the water to flow over the top potentially shorting out the control panel and causing the hot tub to turn off. If this occurs leave the hot tub and notify Laura immediately.
No one party may occupy the Hot Tub for more than 30 continuous minutes.
Children must be accompanied by their parents at all times when using the hot tub or sauna. Unaccompanied children will be asked to leave at once.
