Is a plumbing permit required for an inground pool?

Yes. When we started the design of the new Energov software system we added some new required inspections.  One of these inspections was the pressure test on swimming pool lines from the equipment to the pool.  The International Swimming Pool and Spa Code(ISPSC) has required this since its inception in 2012.  Under section 311.9 “Circulation system piping, other than that integrally included in the manufacture of the pool or spa, shall be subjected to a hydrostatic pressure test of 25 pounds per square inch (psi) (172.4 kPa). This pressure shall be held for not less than 15 minutes.”  A DPOR licensed plumbing contractor is required to plumb an in-ground swimming pool.  Any other trades associated with the installation of an in-ground swimming pool shall be licensed in that trade (i.e., electrical and fuel gas).
