How is that any different from having a jetted hot tub in your bathroom? A hot tub inside your house is much more likely to be used than having it outside.

About all old Ramada Inns with pools and hot tubes enclosed in building are torn down probably due to mold problems. Over the years (40 plus) the enclosed pools which had hot tubs mold migrated throughout whole building. You could smell it even in rooms that was around pool.
Jetted bath tubs don’t have chemicals in water and are not constantly inducing moisture in air cause you drain bath tube after use. Bubbling water creates moisture cloud and when inside get sucked throughout building with central air handlers.
