Bathtub appliances are not subject to the P&SS Act. Hot tubs and spas are by definition included within the scope of the P&SS Act. If a structure is a hot tub, spa, or portable spa whose suction fittings are addressed by ASME/ANSI A112.19.8, the structure is included in the definition of “swimming pool or spa” under the P&SS Act. If the appliance or structure in question is one whose suction fitting requirements are addressed by ANSI A119.19.7, “Hydromassage Bathtub Appliances,” neither the appliance nor the drain cover are within the scope of the P&SS Act.
