I inspected a spa that had a wood stove attached to heat it. The tub was fiberglass and the outside was wood. The wood heater looked like cast steel.
It did not have a filter but just had a 110v. recirculation pump in it. It is in a back yard on the ground. The installer said it was built by the Amish and there were no manufactures installation instructions. I looks home made. The electrical panel inside looked like the usual one I see in spas and was listed but doesn't the whole spa need to have a listing?
Of course, was no listing to indicate it was self-contained so it would need the perimeter surface bonded.
Since there is no filter would it define as a hydromassage bathtub?
