Dr. Spa™ Ret.:
Anyone else notice the outlet and disconnect on the wall next to the spa? If either are within 5' of the spa, they're major code violations and death by electrocution hazards.

Nice try. To bad you have no idea what you are talking about. It is not for the spa. It is an GFI outlet that is behind the tub I had installed for Christmas lights and again if you would ask before making a stupid statement, I had to have it all OK by the city before anything was installed. But hey, thanks for caring so much.
Forgot to mention. The spa disconnect is on the other wall that is 15 feet away from the tub.

Dr. Spa™ Ret.:
If you reread my original post "If either are within 5' of the spa,"
It makes no difference what the electric outlet or circuit is for. If it's within 5', it's a serious code violation, and an even more serious safety hazard.
The outlet looks to possibly be less than 5' from the spa. If it is, and your inspector approved it, he's an idiot and your safety, and that of anyone using the spa is in serious jeopardy. GFCI or NOT, it DOESN'T matter.
Near the back right corner of the spa (just above the cover in your picture) there appears to be an electrical box on the wall (looks like what's commonly used as a pull out disconnect for an air conditioner).. If this is live voltage, over 24v, and is closer than 5' to the spa, it too is a violation of national electrical code, and an EXTREME danger to anyone using the spa. Again, if this is correct, and your inspector approved it, he's an idiot. It make no difference if it's electricity for the spa, or to light the statue of liberty.
All I can go off of is the pictures you posted. If I'm incorrect, my apologies for being concerned and making an attempt to protect the lives of others.

I will let the inspector know that he is an idiot.
