Washington WAC 246-260 regulates public spas and hot tubs at hotels, apartments, gyms, and HOAs, requiring permits, water testing, temperature limits, and posted bather safety warnings under RCW 70.90 statewide.
WAC 246-260-001 defines spas as public water recreation facilities subject to the same permitting framework as pools. Maximum water temperature is 104 degrees Fahrenheit, with required signage warning pregnant women, young children, and those with medical conditions. Disinfectant residuals must be maintained continuously and tested at least twice daily. WAC 246-260-191 requires immediate closure if water clarity drops below standards. Anti-entrapment drain covers are required, and spas must have emergency shutoff switches accessible to bathers.
Operating a public spa without a permit, exceeding 104 degrees Fahrenheit, or lacking required signage triggers closure under RCW 70.90.130 with penalties up to $1,000 per day until corrected.
