Good afternoon everyone,

My reason for creating this thread to ask about a water treadmill disconnect means . I know the disconnect must be 5' away from the outside wall and visible from the equipment work area. The only exception for the 5' rule is if the disconnect has a perimeter barrier.

A client ordered a water treadmill and it fits super tight in the room. I'm looking for ideas on the disconnect location. The wall is going to get put back up. It's a tight spot and the equipment is not set. If I come less than 5', what are my options. Keep in mind, the client doesn't want a "eye sore" in a room that size.

I don't know how to upload a photo here so I need a link from Google photos

"Founded in 1997, HydroWorx has been selling underwater treadmill pools to sports medicine facilities, physical therapy clinics, and retirement communities around the world since 1998. HydroWorx 2000 and 1200 Series models are the only pools in the aquatic fitness market with depth-adjustable treadmill floors."

I had to copy and paste because I really couldn't answer that myself. A very fancy spa unit.
 
I think I found my answer. Instead of a gfci spa enclosure I'll just have to get a gfci breaker and run it to a Switch Motor Disconnect. It'll look better in the room than the disconnects that come with the gfci in them or a subpanel in the room. That may give a little more play with my measurements. If the wall needs to be recessed further, I'll work something with the framer.
