This in ground pool contractor has a sump pump motor outlet outside of the pools edge about 12 inches. Their is a plastic round cover over the top of it. They ran UF inside conduit to it. The inspector passed it.

Is the sump pump outlet allowed to be that close to the pool?
It's their to collect ground water from under the pool.

I don't see any exception for a sump pump outlet that is less than 6' from the pool

My pool has a similar sump pump arrangement, but the receptacle is more than 6’ from the pool.

I agree with Dennis, you have a violation.

Okay thanks , that's 680.23 (A) 3 , right ?

Also they used UF. Is UF enclosed around the outer sheath ?

I don't see an issue with UF. This is not really pool equipment and Yes UF equipment grounding conductor would be consider encased
