In most cities and counties, permits will be required for the installation of electrical circuits or the construction of exterior
surfaces (decks and spa enclosures). 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 Caldera

®

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 Caldera dealer can provide information on which permits may be required.
