NEC code for Pool Eletrical

[Sully]

Hi All


I would like to install the box in the middle of the wall were the only thing it would be near is the pump and PVC. I would have to step over some of the valves to get to the box.

That is what the code is trying to prevent. You need a clear path to that disconnect, not only for serviceabilty, but safety also. In my area, it does not matter what the equipment is: A/C condensor, pool pump, sprinkler pump, etc., it will fail inspection. Plus the cost of moving box or equipment, the addition cost ot get an inspect back out.....do it right the first time.
