Keep pH at 7.2 to 7.8 with a test kit, pH and alkalinity adjusters and a sanitizer. The manufacturer recommends changing the water at least once a week with a chiller, more often with heavy use, or every 3 to 5 days without one, and the oval’s smaller volume makes each refill a little quicker. The tub manual also asks you to consult a pool supply store before using pool chemicals, to let them dissolve fully before anyone gets in, and never to add them to an empty tub, and it notes that damage from improper chemical use is not covered.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n\n\u003c!-- ============ 08 ============ --\u003e\n\u003csection class=\"dcbo-tinted\" id=\"crate\"\u003e\n  \u003cdiv class=\"dcbo-c\"\u003e\n    \u003cp class=\"dcbo-eyebrow\"\u003eScope\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003ch2\u003eWhat arrives with the black oval, and what you add\u003c\/h2\u003e\n    \u003cp class=\"dcbo-lead\"\u003eThe oval comes crated on a pallet.

Consult a physician before starting, particularly with a history of heart disease, low or high blood pressure, circulatory problems or diabetes, or if you take medication that affects drowsiness, heart rate or blood pressure. The manual warns that alcohol, drugs or medication before or during a plunge may lead to loss of consciousness with the possibility of drowning. Enter feet first and breathe steadily, without holding your breath or hyperventilating, and get out at once if you feel weak or lose control of your hands, arms or legs. Prolonged immersion below 70°F risks hypothermia and core temperature can keep falling after you get out, so do not drive or operate tools or heavy machinery straight afterwards.
