Welcome to our forum.
We finally received out Sundance spa - waited 7 weeks! Now we are ready to hook it up.Big confusion here in MD about where the GFCI disconnect panel should be placed. According to Sundance set up directions the panel needs to be atleast 5 feet from the tub. According to (1) electrician MD code says it should be no more than 5 feet from the tub. Another agrees with the Sundance manual. Our neighbors is more than 5 feet; another neighbors is sunk in a deck so the disconnect is under the deck on a beam that is inches from the tub.Anyone know where to place this panel?Thanks for your helpDebbie

the national electrical code 680.22 states a diconnecting means must be no closer than 5 feet and no further than ten feet,now your local municipality may modify this. this distance is to be measured from the side wall ,at the shortest distance.also .code 680.41 states a disconnect shall be not less than 5 feet and within sight of the spa.this requirement shall not apply to single family dwellings. so i hope this clarifed everything.i would also suggest you use a licensed electrician.if you fail at this task it may kill you or a loved one.......
