NEC requires 18" in PVC

There are plenty of direct buried cables that meet codes, and in some
cases
they are a better option then in conduit deployments. Of course this is
all
based on a case by case basis.

In the case of serviing pool equipment there is NO direct burial
cable that meets code.
You can use a cable inside a dwelling but once you get outside you
usually need a conduit with an insulated 12ga or larger ground. Local
codes can make this rule tougher. Some AHJs want to see conduit all
the way back to the panel.


Not only is that incorrect, but one could argue that a conduit from load
center to pool could actually cause a safety hazard in certain
circumstances.
