7. Permanent pumps are for use with perma-
nently installed pools and may also be used with hot tubs and
spas if so marked. Do not use with storable pools. A perma-
nently installed pool is constructed in or on the ground or in a
building such that it cannot be readily disassembled for stor-
age. A storable pool is constructed so that it may be readily
disassembled for storage and reassembled to its original in-
tegrity.
8. Storable pool pumps are for use with storable
pools only. Do not use with permanently installed pools. A
storable pool is constructed so that it is capable of being
readily disassembled for storage and reassembled to its orig-
inal integrity. A permanently installed pool is constructed in
or on the ground, or in a building, such that it cannot be read-
ily disassembled for storage.
