Davis regulates spas alongside pools: manufactured spas must be listed, spa submittals must include electrical and gas requirements, and outdoor pools or spas equipped with a gas or electric heater must have a pool/spa cover. Spas also meet the same 5-foot setback and drowning-prevention rules.
The City of Davis Swimming Pool and Spa Checklist treats spas together with pools. Spa information must include electrical and/or gas requirements, and manufactured spas shall be listed. Outdoor pools and spas with a gas or electric heater must have a pool/spa cover, and any new or replacement heater system needs an exterior ON-OFF switch, a permanent efficiency-instruction plate, and at least 36 inches of plumbing between filter and heater for future solar. Automatic fill lines require backflow protection with annual testing. Spas are set back a minimum of 5 feet from property lines and easements, and the drowning-prevention framework of Cal. Health and Safety Code Sections 115922-115923 applies; an ASTM F1346-91 safety cover is one recognized feature.
Installing spa electrical or gas work without a permit stops work until corrected. A heated outdoor spa without the required cover, or an auto-fill line without tested backflow protection, will not pass final inspection.
