Joe, Being in a hot tub is a good example of water + electricity mix. However, this can be a bad example when the hot tub has not been designed properly.
There have been many cases where high power pumps have been used and the tremendous energy had sucked a person's long hair through the water inlet and caused the person to drown. There have also been cases where people have been killed in a hot tub due to electric shock caused by improper metal to metal bonding and improper earthing. However, owning a hot tub is part of every family's dream and please make sure that in addition to the regulating thermostat (set to about 43 deg C +/- 2 deg C, the spa has a limiting thermsostat set to max. 50 deg C +/- 2 deg C or else......
