If you don't mind, lets revisit an area where I still find some confusion:
Storable Pools.
The NEC defines a storable pool as:
Storable Swimming, Wading, or Immersion Pool. Those that are constructed on or above the ground and are capable of holding water to a maximum depth of 1.0 m (42 in.), or a pool with nonmetallic, molded polymeric walls or inflatable fabric walls regardless of dimension.
So, as an inspector, you go to a location and find a pool with a water depth of 48" (not unusual, I find)....
How do you make the decision as to it's being a "storable pool" ?
If it has an inflatable fabric wall it appears from the definition to be "storable" (anybody ever see one of these ? )
Now, playing with the punctuation, is it also "storable" if:
(a) it has non-metallic walls ?
OR must they be:
(b) non-metallic, molded polymeric walls ?
If it's (b).. how do you identify a "molded polymeric wall" pool.
I have done on-line research and have no clue as to such critter.
Any guide as to "storable" vs "permanent" ???
