My customer bought a hot tub and called me to connect it. I wired a future for the tub and left a disconnect six feet from the planned tub location. The tub came in and all the markings are in Chinese. After close inspection it is discovered that the tub is not listed by UL or any nationally recognized testing lab (NRTL). Now we have a situation where I cant connect the tub and the inspector cant pass the installation. The customer, Out $8000, Tries to return the tub and gets the runaround. Now I have an open permit for a tub that is approaching a year old and the customer has this big decoration on the patio.
Is it legal for a US company (California) to sell unlisted electrical goods, specifically spas, in the US? Who has info about a "safety letter from the manufacturer? Has anyone else had a problem with "world" goods?
