And it was further explained to me by the local AHJ that if the outlet
was a SINGLE outlet (and they are available) for the sump only, (NOT A
DUPLEX OUTLET) that it would not have to be a gfci.

That's not what the NEC says.



Well, either way, i wasn't about to seek out the "single" outlet, so i
installed the gfci, had the inspector do his re-check, then removed it
and put in a standard outlet. I will NOT run a gfci on a sump pump period.

Nothing like a "secret off switch" on a sump pump to flood your basement.
Too bad these things don't come with audible alerts or otherwise remote
indicators!
