680.14 Corrosive Environments around pools 2017 Code Change

This new section gives us the requirements for wiring methods when you have stored chemicals in the same area as your pool equipment.  Most of the chemicals that are used in pool maintenance are corrosive and the vapors can end up in the air and cause damage to the electrical system for the pool.  When I use to do pools we always kept most of the electrical work above 48” so that we were above some of the vapors.  A good installation will have a ventilation system to take these vapors out of the room.
