Tips for passing inspection

[Pietri]

Does the pool Motor need to be bolted to the pad to pass inspections

Hi All,

I’m highly compliant and I am driving my wife nuts prepping for final inspection. I have everything down to the no diving signs. She thinks over kill.

My last item is bolting down the pool Motor to the cement pad.

Is this necessary to pass inspection? I’ve see. We’re its better on the joints not to bolt down the motor.

Thank you.

I do not think that the pumps are usually bolted down.

P,

I know of no rule that says your pump has to be tied down...

I am pretty sure there is a rule somewhere about too much bull in your pool though...

Thanks,

Jim R.

Call the inspector. He/she will tell you what they are looking for. If you want to take a chance it would take about 15-30 minutes with a hammer drill and small red heads ( anchors) to fix the problem and call for re-inspection.

We were not required to have the pump bolted down and haven't seen that in any code book.

Mine was sitting on a rubber pad to decrease noise from vibration. No issue with inspection.

Which inspection is it? The final inspection? Ours failed for unconnected rebar, too big a gap under the fence, and not enough grading/shoring up of the areas around the pool. Are you owner build or have a builder? I don't think the pump being bolted down is a requirement in most areas.
