For an above ground pool:
1) How far can the heater and filter be placed from the pool?
Article 680.12 states "...Each means shall be readily accessible and within sight from its equipment and shall be located at least 5 ft horizontally from the inside walls of a pool..." If I am reading this correctly, if the disconnect for the heater, and the heater, are located 25' from the inside wall of the pool, this would be acceptable, correct?
Article 680.22(A)(1) states "...Receptacles that provide power for water-pump motors or for other loads directly related to the circulation and sanitation system shall be located at least 10 ft from the inside walls of the pool..." If I am reading this correctly, if the filter receptacle, and the filter, are located 25' from the inside wall of the pool, this would be acceptable, correct?
2) Is a double receptacle GFCI outlet acceptable for the filter, or does it need it be a single receptacle?
3) Can Romex be run within the house from the main panel to a box outside, then run THWN from the box, in conduit, undergound, to the disconnect box for the heater, the filter GFCI outlet and the GFCI maintenance recepticle? Or should it be THWN, in conduit, the entire way?
4) The heater specs call for a 60A maximum fuse size, and Mimimum Circiut Ampacity of 35A. So this would require a 60A breaker, and 6 AWG wire, correct?
5) I understand the filter and maintenance outlets require GFCI protection, but what about the pool heater? Does the pool heater require GFCI protection?
Thanks in advance.
