Are CAFI/GFCI combo breakers ok to use in control panel?

[aasarava]

Is it allowable to use GFCI / combination AFCI (“CAFI”) breakers in a control panel for an in-ground pool? The local Home Depot only has GFCI/CAFI, not just GFCI ones. Price seems to be the same as what I see online — about $46.

Yes, AFCI breakers meet the latest codes in areas.

It's certainly allowable to use CAFI breakers, just be aware that some pool equipment may trip the AFCI side prematurely. As long as that doesn't happen you'll be fine.
