What is the minimum distance that receptacles must be located from the inside walls of a storable pool?

For storable pools, the National Electrical Code (NEC) specifies that receptacles must be placed a minimum of 6 feet from the inside walls of the pool. This requirement is in place to enhance safety and reduce the risk of electrical shock. By positioning receptacles at this distance, the likelihood of accidental contact with the electrical devices when in or near the water is mitigated. Additionally, this standard helps to prevent water splashes or other hazards associated with the operation of electrical equipment in close proximity to the water, ensuring a safer environment for pool users.
