My apologies for a new post on the subject but felt that responding to old post may not be viewed as often as a new one.

I have seen a number of questions related to above ground pools. I was checking for verification with so many of the responses on bonding etc. with above ground pools and the definite difficulty of bonding them.
680
Section I covers permanently installed and storable pools
Section II covers permanently installed pools
Section III covers storable pools (definitions are earlier in the section relating to what is a storable pool)
So many above ground pools fall into the storable pool category and by the requirements defined in III, there is no bonding required of the walls, water etc.
Missing anything?
Also is the excerpt from an article by Jeffrey Sargent in NECPlus:
There are clear distinctions made in these definitions between ?permanently installed? and ?storable? pools. One of the most important distinguishing features is the difference implied by the titles of the terms. A permanently installed pool is located in or on one site and is not manufactured or built as a structure that can be easily relocated. A storable pool, as implied by its name, is specifically manufactured to facilitate relocation and/or storage. The water depth of 42 inches (established based on swimming pool industry standards) is also a defining benchmark, however this depth is not applicable in the case of inflatable pools or aboveground pools that are constructed with nonmetallic molded polymeric walls. Regardless of depth, these ?on or above the ground? swimming pools are considered to be ?storable swimming, wading, or immersion? pools.
Huge difference in permenantly installed pools and storable pools.
Thanks for your input.
