Minimum distance from pool to outlet???
My electrician just installed a GFCI outlet 66" from the water edge of our currently under-construction pool. The pool guy is telling me that the minimum distance is 6', while the electrician is telling me it's 5'. Who's correct?

It was previously 5 feet minimum from the pool and 10 feet max.

Is the outlet for powering the pool equipment (pump, etc) or for general use? Do you know which version of the NEC your locality follows?
