Hot tub use???

I've had a pacemaker since March, I'd like to ask all of more experienced pacers if soaking in a heart tub is harmful?
Thanks in advance for info.

Funny, funny! Is you name Cabg Patch short for Cabbage Patch and is it the one in Samsalusa?

Good to know. I so enjoy relaxing in my hot tub... alone!

As long as you don't have other health issues that would make it unsafe, it's fine. Nothing about a pm is unsafe. If you feel dizzy, get out (but that goes for anyone!)

Depends

If it is a home one with proper water analysis and chlorine.It is fine. Now the ones at health clubs are down right waiting to infect you. They usually have a 18 year old kid with little water analysis experience taking readings.

I have been around pools and hot tubs all my life and even build a few. I can cup some water in my hands and smell it to know if it is safe. I do love hot tubs. So to be on the safe side buy a cheap chlorine tester and check it yourself. Takes 10 seconds.
