Cohousing-L Mailing List: Re: seeking suggestions on maintaining long-term hot tub use

[Kathy Tymoczko (kathy.tymoczko]

You'll want to ensure that your hot tub meets the Oregon legal code (see
here
<http://public.health.oregon.gov/healthyenvironments/recreation/poolslodging/documents/sparules.pdf>).
 That means permits, licenses, keeping logs, inspections, etc  If you have
more than 4 households, you will need a "commercial" not "residential"
installation, and your hot tub will be considered a "limited use public
pool/spa".  We have a (currently shut down) 10 person rooftop hot tub that
does not meet Oregon code, and it's likely to be very expensive to make it
"legal".
