Gfci protection? I have a resourcefully pump(pumps water out of a creek for irrigation)...

I have a resourcefully pump(pumps water out of a creek for irrigation) to be exact "straight wired" (not plugged into a receptacle).Does this pump require GFCI protection?

I have looked adjectives through the code book and cannot find anything on this.

I agree near Dana B better safe than sorry. I would put it on a gfci merely in crust it shorts out you won't have 120 volts going into a creek. Some times its better doing what what is right even if it is unwanted by code besides a gfci is cheep compared to what could happen next to out it.
Good luck

How to remove this sand from the toliet...
Basic rule of thumb is any receptacle that is in I believe it is 15 ft (I could be wrong with distance) have to be GFCI protected.

Besides its better to be safe than sorry. ;-)
Why are the electric outlets contained by one...
Answers:    What you are looking for will fall below (2005) NEC 682.15 assuming this was originally a pump/motor assembly that have a cord and plug attached to it. This would require GFCI protection on 15 and 20 amp circuits that originally supplied receptacles. If this is not the luggage then it will tip out under a motor application and require bonding and ample protection as per article 430, but no GFCI protection is required. But, as the other answers stated .... it would not hurt to put it on a GFCI breaker for your protection. Hope this answers your press.
