Question

Is it the intent of 2010 FBC Building section
424.1.5.3 Materials to allow the pool equipment
within the fenced equipment area to be placed on
concrete ?housekeeping? pads, with gravel placed
on the remainder of the enclosed area, instead
of the entire enclosure having a nonabsorbent
floor?

No

Commentary

424.1.5.3 states that the equipment enclosure, area or room floor shall be of concrete or other nonabsorbent material.... Therefore, the entire fenced equipment area falls under this requirement.
