I want to semi-permanently turn off two spas/whirlpools that came with
the house we bought last summer. *(They have "on" buttons that I think
are too easy to push.)

The only way I can see to do this---I can't get at the guts of the
things easily because the guy who set it up thoughtfully enclosed
everything---is at the circuit breaker.

Any harm in using the breaker as a switch, as long as I don't plan on
switching it back and forth much? *I figure it would be "off" for
months at least.


Like others mentioned, switching at the breaker wont work because you
will be shutting off your heaters, filter and circulator which you
really want running all the time. What you apparently want to switch
differently are the jets. For that you will have to continue using
the existing jet switch, or make some kind of lock box over the
existing jet switch, or replace the existing jet switch with something
like key switch. Flipping off the breakers will only make your tub
unuseable, grow algae, get cold, etc.
