Attached pdf shows Hydromassage datasheet. I let the engineer know to comply with NEC 2017 Article 680.62 Hydrotherapeutic Tanks or NEC 2017 Part VII Hydromassage Bathtubs. However, the engineer came back with the following:
"You mention Hydromassage, Spas, and Hot Tubs. I have attached the Cutsheet on the Hydromassage bed that we are using. It is actually not getting the user wet by any means (i.e. the water jets at a vinyl cover that keeps the user dry). That being said, would you like us to still comply with this section of the code?"
I did some research of my own but I am still confused. I don't see this as hydromassage bathtub since it does not have bathtub but I could be wrong please correct me here if I am wrong. Also, it does have tank to hold water, but person does not get immersed in it instead it either has table or chair in which their no contact of water and the that chair or table gets massage thru water jet. See the attached cut sheet. So it gets confusing as to which NEC 2017 Article apply here. Therefore, I wanted to get some insight, opinions from you all. Attached is the cutsheet that the engineer submitted. Would this kind of Hydromassage fall under NEC 2017 680.62 or NEC 2017 Article 680 Part VII Hydromassage bathtubs?
Thanks for your input.
