Medical Warnings.

1. Your Modtub is a cold plunge tub / cooler and should be used for that purpose. Cold water temperatures are used at your own risk.   Users are instructed to adjust the water temperature of the Modtub to their preference. Adding ice to the Modtub can be injurious to your health, and may also cause the chiller to freeze and break. Adding ice to the water and freezing the chiller will void the warranty.
   
2. Using water below 39 degrees (F) could be injurious to your health.
   
3. Women who are pregnant or may be pregnant should follow their doctor’s orders regarding the use of the Modtub.
   
4. The use of alcohol, drugs, or medication prior to  entering, or during the use of the Modtub could lead to unconsciousness, injury, and the possibility of drowning.  The use of drugs or alcohol could also greatly increase the risk of fatal hypothermia.
   
5. Persons suffering from obesity, or that have a medical history of heart disease, stroke, high or low blood pressure, circulatory problems, diabetes, infectious diseases, or immune deficiency syndromes should consult a physician before using this product. If you have trouble breathing while using the Modtub, discontinue use and consult a physician immediately.
   
6. The use of the Modtub directly after strenuous exercise may be injurious to your health.
   
7. Prolonged immersion in the Modtub may be injurious to your health.  
   
8. Prolonged immersion in cold water may induce hypothermia (a medical condition caused by prolonged exposure to very cold temperatures where the body loses heat faster than it can produce it).  Normal body temperature is around 98.6°F/37°C.  Hypothermia exists when body temperatures drop below 95°F/35°C. 
   
9. Users should exit the Modtub immediately if uncomfortable, lightheaded, or experiencing palpitations, chest pains, numbness or dizziness.  

Consult Physician. 
Consult with your physician prior to using Modtub or any cold plunge to understand your personal health risks and to get answers to your personal medical questions. Soaking in a cold tub like Modtub can be extremely beneficial to your health, as well as therapeutic, but it can also be hazardous under certain conditions.
