You can use it while soaking in WATER???
Me??? Don't think so!!
I'd be frightened half to death, that I'd be electrocuted.
Reminds me of A LONG LONG TIME ago, when I was working, I had gone to Bloomingdales and I went to their Bath and Body department and I purchased a home Jacuzzi. It was $100. Do you know how expensive $100 was 25 years ago??
The thing looked really cool. And since I LOVED whirlpools, and this thing turned your bathtub into a whirlpool, I figured "why the heck not"??
So I purchased it on my lunch hour, and took out the directions and showed everyone what the instruction booklet said.
WELL!!! I will never forge this part. On the left side of the instruction booklet there were all these DON'TS!!!!
DON'T IMMERSE THE CABLE IN WATER.
DON'T IMMERSE THIS PART OF THE UNIT IN WATER.
DON'T DO THIS.
DON'T DO THAT!!!
I just looked at the instruction manual and said to myself "oh lordy, can I really do this??"
The unit was to fit over the side of the bathtub and make all the water turn into whirling jets of warm water. Sounds good, right??
But my mind always went to the left side of the instruction booklet WITH ALL THE DON'TS!!!
There were more DON'Ts and DANGER!!!! then there were 'SAFE!!!!
So I looked at my fellow co-workers and said:
"Well, I'm going to try this gadget out tonight and if I don't show up for work tomorrow morning, you'll know that I electrocuted myself".
Everybody laughed.
So that night, I take it out of the box, I again look at all the DON'Ts, and I promptly got scared and put the unit back in the box all prepared to bring it to work and return it on my lunch hour.
I awoke the next morning with a fever and could not go to work.
Well you should have seen everybody calling my house thinking I electrocuted myself.
I never laughed so hard. I had to assure my boss that I didn't have burns all over my body.
I never used that thing, and now I'm told that I can put electrodes on my feet and put them in the water while using a tens unit???
I don't think so!!!! lol
