:smile:I hope all you,.. "if it saves one child" folks don't wire pools.. DOWN WITH POOLS ,...DOWN WITH POOLS!!
If we all would just stop wiring them ,.. it might save one child ...
The problem with this kind of code rule is that it makes it easier for the next one of this type ,... tamper resistant screws on cover plates perhaps ..:smile:
FWIW ,..40% equals about 313 children
Not wiring them is a brutish answer. But If they come out with a new code that makes the pool safer I won't balk at it.
Adding 4 cents worth of internal parts to a receptacle to keep a handful of kids from dying is a no-brainer.
