Pool equipment pad
Electrical disconnect
Outdoor weather-rated disconnect serving the pool equipment circuit · the local lockout point for any work on pump, heater, or feeder
The outdoor electrical disconnect box at the pool equipment pad — light grey weatherproof enclosure mounted to the building siding, a single push-button knockout on top, conduit feeding in from the right carrying the 240V supply to the pool equipment circuit. The lever / pull-out is behind the gasketed door. This is the local lockout point — pulling the disconnect kills power to pump, heater, and feeder. Captured 26 May 2026.
Function
Local electrical disconnect for the pool equipment circuit · code-required (NEC 680) for in-ground pool equipment within sight of and accessible to the pool · pulling the disconnect deenergizes the pump, heat pump, and any 240V feeders
Type / brand
TBD — confirm make from interior label on next inspection · weatherproof outdoor disconnects are typically Square D / Siemens / Eaton; 60A non-fused is common for residential pools
Circuit served
240V single-phase pool equipment circuit · feeds the Pentair IntelliFlo VS-F pump and Hayward HeatPro heat pump · confirm whether feeder is on the same circuit on next service
Location
Pool equipment pad · mounted to nearest building wall · within line of sight of the pool per NEC 680.13
Lockout / tagout. Before any work on pool equipment — pump cap removal, heat pump panel access, chlorinator service — pull this disconnect first and verify with a non-contact tester. Pentair drives have a 1-minute stored-charge wait after disconnect; respect that interval before touching any drive terminals.

The permit's "pool heater" description and July 2020 inspection date align with the Aratech May 2020 service entry being the relevant install. The May 2020 Harvest receipt ($463.25, "dimmers + GFI + sense") may have understated scope — confirm with Aratech on next contact whether the pool-heater circuit was a separate invoice not captured in the 3-entry Harvest pull.
