Hot Tub rules ..... how to tell guests "No sex"

[Tammy110]

When we first got our outdoor hot tub and allowed guests to use it, I really didn't think guests would be so bold as to use the spa for making 'whoopy", considering there are several windows from our home that have clear views of the hot tub. Boy was I wrong!!!! The problem is that it really messes up the chemical balance (most importantly the sanitizers and water clarifying chemicals) in the water, and we have had to drain, clean and refill it several times, which is expensive, and in the wintertime.....a royal pain!!! Not to mention and most importantly, the possible health risk of creating potentially unsanitary water for anyone who goes in the hot tub afterwards!!!!

Does anyone have any ideas on a polite/non-offensive way to let guests know that sex in the hot tub is not permitted, while at the same time letting them know of the potential health risks it could cause for those who go in afterwards? Or do you think it would be fine to just post a sign at the hot tub, simply stating "No sex in the hot tub"?   

Any ideas would be appreciated 🙂

Honestly for me I think a clear but cushioned way of saying things to a perfectly acceptable.

such as:

Hot tub/jacuzzi

    Available for guest use; please be aware and considerate of the risks and hygiene issues associated with adult play.  While we completely understand the immediate appeal however the potential consequences for you physically (infectious bacteria thrives in heat); and  fiscally (very likely cleaning fee as it’s very obvious to the person cleaning and ph balancing the hottub).

Thanks so much for sharing your thoughts here @Amanda3380 - this post was from 2021 so it's quite old now. Do you have a hot tub yourself or have you seen this kind of message elsewhere?

I know this is an old topic, but my suggestion is on your ''additional house rules'' you mention to abide by any written instructions that may be found on the property. On your hot tub then put a sign stating no sexual activity in the hot tub.
