streable pool electrical questions

[Mr. Inspector]

2009 IRC. A resident wants to put up a blow-up pool that is 30" deep. All ready has a fence that will work with some work on the gates.

This pool has no pump or electrical at all. Is bonding around the pool and the receptacle still required?

 

[retire09]

680.34 is the only section that may apply.

No receptacles within 6' of the inside wall of the pool.

Rick,

See Section E4207, from the `09 IRC........This link:

Does your "storable pool" have any metal parts in the pool itself [ i.e. - support frame,

or a "conductive pool shell", or other ] ?.............If so, then Yes, ...the bonding will be

required, per Section E4202.4.

Some of the larger blow-up pools have a pump with an attached 25 cord. The cord end has a built-in GFCI. The manual states just to run the long cord across the lawn, to the nearest outside receptacle. Now, that's a fun conversation to have as an inspector with the new, happy pool owner!
