Any problems with pool/spa heating should be reported to the management company immediately. Guests use of the spa and pool at their own risk. The pool is cleaned and chemically balanced regularly for your safety and comfort. On rare occasions it may be necessary to add extra chemicals to maintain the correct state, in which case you may be advised to remain out of the pool for the number of hours advised by the pool cleaning company’s agent.
