How To

A notice is attached to the fence beside the Hot Tub outlining the main safety guidelines for safe usage.  Please read this and the Hot Tub Safety information in the ‘Please Read’ section.

  • Cover Lifter – lift the cover up and place it gently across the middle bar. Stand on the floor bracket and pull the bat across to swing the cover off the hot tub.   How To Use
  • Control Panel – there are only 2 buttons of interest.  The ‘jets’ button cycles through auto/low/high/off.  Once on they run for 15 minutes.  You can start them for another 15 minutes by pressing the button again.
  • Jets Knobs – jets can be turned on/off by gently turning them 1/4 turn, or by using the 3 control knobs at the top of the spa
  • Problems –
    • no jets – check that the knobs are in the ‘on’ position
    • if too many people use the hot tub at one time (4 recommended), then too much water can be displaced and the water level falls too low.  The spa will display an ‘Priming Failed’ error message and disable the jets.  Please call to have the spa reset.

    • outside – the outside light switch is at the front of the pod

    • river – the river runs along the boundary at the far end of the back field.  A wooden gate allows access.  Always close the gate as sheep and cows are often in the adjoining field
  • wildlife – keep your eyes and ears open.  Roe deer are frequent guests, as are hedgehogs and foxes.  (Please do not feed foxes as they are not like urban foxes.  We need to keep them wary of humans for the safety of our chickens)  You will also hear the familiar twit twoo of the tawny owls, and the less  common screeching of the barn owls.  Woodpeckers, nuthatches, woodcock and pheasants are also to be seen.
