What better way
to unwind from the day then a tasty beverage and warm relaxing hot tub?
Nothing! The hot tub is cleaned,&nbsp;drained, shocked, and treated on a regular maintenance
schedule with a certified professional. We use bromine tablets because they have less odor
than chlorine and are not as irritating.&nbsp;There is also a small skimmer net in the stairs for surface particles. Call or message us for any questions.Fun Facts:A few guests have commented on the teal color of the hot
tub water (and even the indoor tub water in the guest bathroom) so we wanted to
provide you with some fun facts about Texas Hill Country Water – we promise the beautiful teal color is not from algae!<img src="https://storage.googleapis.com/folio-media-production/2024/2/Ww2VSJ1gjdNySDK-3X8snN27.jpg" width="439" height="585" style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;">
Iron, manganese, and calcium carbonate from limestone are
all common minerals that can cause water to range in color from red and orange
to green and blue. You may have noticed the lakes and rivers in the Texas Hill
Country have a&nbsp;stunning teal / turquoise / emerald color – that’s because of
the limestone that is so prevalent throughout the area!
<img src="https://storage.googleapis.com/folio-media-production/2024/2/qEF7k8-2THKELBtjbnndkUPU.png">We have a well that goes deep underground about 300 feet
into the Hickory Sandstone Aquifer. The water from this aquifer runs over ancient
limestone and granite. As the water passes over the limestone, the rock is worn
down over time, and the minerals from the limestone are dissolved into the
water causing it to turn into a beautiful teal / turquoise / emerald color which you may
notice in the hot tub.<img src="https://storage.googleapis.com/folio-media-production/2024/2/I2w3-a_OQlWqvjQzM5FswWhX.jpg">
Also, these same minerals cause the water to have a sweet
taste – go ahead and try some from the water dispenser in the refrigerator –
you will not taster better water!
&nbsp;And&nbsp;Here Are The Hot Tub Rules:
1.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;No
eating in the hot tub.
2.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; No
bleach, soaps, sun block, detergents, or oils in the hot tub. 
3.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; No animals
in the hot tub.
4.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Children
are not allowed in the hot tub unsupervised.
5.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Always
use the buddy system while in the hot tub.
6.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Do not
use the hot tub if you are pregnant.
7.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Bubbles
are provided, do not contribute yours.
8.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Because of entrapment
possibility, remove cover completely before entry of bathers.
9.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; To avoid injury,
exercise care when entering or exiting a spa or hot tub. 
10. No sitting on the lid. Do not use the lid 
as a table. You will be charged full replacement costs (about $550) if you bend, crack, or otherwise damage the lid.
11. Do not allow people
or pets to stand or sit on the cover.&nbsp;
12. Do not open the access panel – you
could get electrocuted.
13. Do not bring small objects in
the hot tub – they can clog the jets.
14. Do not drain the hot tub – call the
owners if there is a water issue.&nbsp;
15. No
diving, jumping, or dunking in the hot tub.
16. Prolonged immersion
in hot water may induce hyperthermia (several
degrees above the normal body temperature of 98.6°F).
17. People
with infectious diseases should not use the hot tub.
18. Do not use the hot tub immediately following strenuous exercise.
19. If you light the firepit, make sure
the firepit screen is in place. This cuts down on ash going into the hot tub.
20. When not in use, put the hot tub
lid on, fasten all 4 clips, fasten the lock bar, and place rocks on all 4 corners.21. If the water drops below the jets, please refill until 1 inch above the jet.


Try
These Steps If The Hot Tub Is Not Heating Up:
1.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
Do not heat the hot tub past 103 degrees.
2.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
If
the water is changed it will be about 70 degrees, and it takes about 20 hours
to warm up the tub to 100 degrees.
3.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
Make sure the lid is secure. The hot tub will
cool off if the lid is left open. 
4.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
During winter months the hot tub will take
longer to heat up.
5.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
We have an immersion heater stored in the barn to speed up the heating process. Please call us if you need this
item and we will make the necessary arrangements. 
6.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
Look at the display – do you see the
temperature? If not, push the up arrow and the temperature setting will
display.Display Screen:<img src="https://storage.googleapis.com/folio-media-production/2024/2/cwOMovpPmuZ0omN_SlSB29-L.png"> 

 



7. Air
injection into the massage jet water flow may be controlled by turning the
venturi dials located on either side of the spa:<img src="https://storage.googleapis.com/folio-media-production/2024/2/S_Rypmq2sESRYllYbVVJflOZ.png" style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;">



Water Level:
If
needed, please add water so that the water level is always above the top jet.
Operating jets without water pressure can break them. Add water 6 to 8 inches
below the top edge of the hot tub. Do not overfill, as the hot tub's water level will rise
as each person enters.<img src="https://storage.googleapis.com/folio-media-production/2024/2/_ln05pwX9wj-BLSrxmAUwoGg.png" style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;">










Legal Disclaimers:
1.&nbsp; We recommend that all pregnant women
consult a physician before hot tub use, particularly in the first trimester.

2.&nbsp; The use of alcohol, drugs, or medication
before or during spa use may lead to unconsciousness with the possibility of
drowning.

3.&nbsp; Persons suffering from obesity or with a
medical history of heart disease, low or high blood pressure, circulatory
system problems, or diabetes should consult a physician before using a spa.

4.&nbsp; Persons using medication should consult a
physician before using a spa since some medication may induce drowsiness while
other medication may affect heart rate, blood pressure, and circulation.
