    The outlet cannot be closer than 10' to the pool.
    I was wondering about this also. Does this mean you have to have the pump 7 feet away from the pool? Kind of a strange situation. Since I am going to be calling electricians tomorrow I would love input on the best way to get electrical to the pump. Meaning the closest I can legally get it.

    I think I go 5' if I use a twist receptacle for the pump. Is this correct? How close can I get a standard GFCI 115v outlet? I would like it as close as possible due a future deck in that area.
