You talk about being young and having a pool without any modern protection....DUDE you should have seen the set up we had at my grandparents house... We used to PLUG in the motor back in WHILE IN THE POOL!!!!! UNBELIEVABLE none of us got killed. No GFCI/AFCI protection.. Pool wasn't bonded, NOTHING!! I never ever had the slightest shock.. Now its basically impossible to get whacked. Thankfully we're here to talk about it!!

The thought of having to bond every conduit strap makes me shudder. Sometimes we use half a box of those for a single pool.

I've swam in many of the same pools growing up, now the thought scares me.

bonded to what?, the elec box?, a rod in the ground?, or both?

Phenomenal and informative video. Very well presented

If theres a rebard grid around the pool and there is #8 whips in all 4 corners coming out the pool could i use the rebar as a way of continuing the bond by just taping into the rebar at those 4 corners instead of having to run #8 all around the pool ?

You mentioned the concrete walls of the pool need to be bonded, how exactly? Do you have to run a 8awg copper wire through the rebar before spraying concrete? or just add a lug to one part of the rebar?

Love the new intro... Your videos are looking way more polished!

I plan to bond our above ground salt water pool only because it is recent requirement but I have yet to justify the requirement, At least in our case. All power is intentionally over 6ft from the sides of the pool except for the salt cell. I put in a GFCI to plug in the control panel that controls the pump and salt cell and I test or replace it every spring as my wife is prepping to open the pool. Grounding/bonding is a major safety thing at work us as we work with a mix of energetic material and electronics. A single small arc of electricity could be deadly. We (electrical, mechanical, and aeronautical engineers) discussed bonding a pool and while we agreed that it probably would not cause any harm to do so, we struggled to find a valid reason to do so. I am going to do so only because it is simple and cheap to do so, and I want to sell the house someday but am not convinced that it is neccessary. Additionally I did ground the pump and the control panel to seperate ground rods. If one should short out I want to try to avoid losing both of them.

I want to like this video but the likes are currently at 277. Lol ⚡️

Great video. Thank you!

That was a good video we just keep learning new things every day. Let's get to it coach ,thanks

Best tutorial I’ve ever seen- thank you for efforts and knowledge

Thanks coach ❤

Item was as described. It arrived on time. It was easy to install.

Thanks for ur hard work

Great explanations in this video. I love that you're very thorough. I would like more pictures like the one with the trench around the pool. Also, pictures of service panel or sub panel where bonding occurs.

Excellant explanation

That was a great video. Thanks to your video, I fully understand what bonding really is. One question that I have is for non permanent pools which are used as a permanent pool, such as a metal frame with vinyl liner where the connections between the posts and rails have plastic between each connection, and the pump gets upgraded, how would one bond that?

Awesome video! Thank you! You pretty much covered any questions I had, except one.
