A spa or hot tub in Pinal County may skip the 5-foot pool barrier only if it is no wider than 8 feet and uses an approved, lockable safety cover that supports 100 pounds and blocks a 4-inch sphere.
Bulletin 010 lets a spa use an approved safety cover instead of a full barrier if it meets all criteria: the spa is no wider than 8 feet at its widest part; the cover latches by a tool or device making the spa reasonably inaccessible to children; the cover supports a 100-pound static load; and the cover prevents a 4-inch sphere from passing into the water when closed. A larger spa, or one without such a cover, must be enclosed by the standard 60-inch pool barrier under A.R.S. 36-1681. Ordinary pool covers are not accepted as an approved barrier.
A spa relying on a non-conforming cover, or a spa wider than 8 feet without a compliant barrier, fails inspection until a proper cover or 60-inch barrier is provided.
