A hot tub gets the one real break in Georgia's pool code. Under Section 305.1, a spa or hot tub fitted with a lockable safety cover meeting ASTM F1346 is exempt from the 48-inch barrier rules in Coweta County.
Georgia's State Minimum Standard Swimming Pool and Spa Code, Section 305.1, exempts a spa or hot tub from the barrier provisions of Sections 305.2 through 305.7 when it carries a lockable safety cover complying with ASTM F1346. That load-rated cover stands in for a fence, which is why most Coweta County hot tubs sit on a deck without a separate enclosure. The tub still needs a Coweta County electrical permit for its 240-volt circuit, with GFCI protection and bonding verified at inspection. A deck or elevated installation can require a structural check for the filled weight.
Running a hot tub with no ASTM F1346 cover and no barrier is a violation, because the spa then falls under the 48-inch barrier rules. Unpermitted or unbonded wiring fails inspection.
