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.
