In most cities and counties, permits will be required for the installation of electrical circuits or the construction of
exterior surfaces (decks and gazebos). In addition, some communities have adopted residential barrier codes which
may require fencing and/or self-closing gates on the property to prevent unsupervised access to a pool (or spa) by
children under 5 years of age. Your spa is equipped with a locking cover that meets the ASTM F1346-91 Standard
for Safety Covers and as a result, is usually exempt from most barrier requirements. As a general practice, your local
Building Department will inform you of any applicable barrier requirements at the time a permit is obtained for the
installation of an electrical circuit. Your dealer can provide information on which permits may be required.
