We just switched to 05.
With regard to the heater, the installer said they would just put a hole in the wall for the metal vent (I am assuming B-vent).
It is a 410,000 BTU gas heater. I have suggested to the HO to get a 90% efficient heater so it could be ducted in PVC. Otherwise, it has to go up to the 2nd floor roof line and will look very ugly. The is a jut out on the garage, so it would penetrate the roof, then be seen all the way up from there.
The installer did say they had never installed one in a garage before.
Also, the LED is 120 volts.

is there a possibility of ducting through the wall?
120V LED pool lights do have to be GFCI protected. I've seen them, but never installed one. They cost a bit more than the 12V LEDs, but I think they're a lot larger also.

Yes, thats why I have him checking for the 90%. Past that, without Manufacturer instructions, it is hard to say. The mechanical inspector said when he comes out he will read the instructions and verify that it is installed per them.

12V's have a color show too; its just a smaller fixture.
usually, you turn power on and it goes in to auto color show. if you want it to stop, just switch off then back on within a second, like on a motion flood, and it will stay on one color.

I told him what the guy said he was going to do. Then he tells me I need to hire someone who does pools all the time. (Maybe he forgot I was licensed as I am also a licensed builder) Then he told me to go online and research it. I know enough, having read the pool section in the 2006 IRC, to be somewhat educated on the matter. Maybe he was mad because the other inspector was at a codes seminar and he wasn't. With him, you never know. Nice one day, a jerk the next.
My big concern was my customer/friend not get screwed over by contractors that don't know what they are doing.
