portable sauna at pool

[Rick 0920]

Something I'm seeing a lot of around here is an influx of portable saunas. One in particular requires a single phase 240v 30A circuit. This homeowner wants to place it on the deck of the pool. The controller is inside the sauna so I'm thinking a 2 pole 30A switch would be required for disconnecting means. What would be my grounding and bonding requirements. Would/Could this installation be code compliant? Any addition questions or thoughts are appreciated. Thanks.

Those are sometimes unfriendly with GFIs. I think if its listed and you keep it 5 ft away from the pool following any manufacturer instructions you'll be hard pressed to find a code against it.
