At 1:18 you show the PVC tee with copper lug. Is this something that came with the pool, or did you buy it and install? If you did purchase, can I ask where you got it and what its called? Thanks for this video. Getting ready to install our 24' round pool in a week or so.

Sorry for the 3 year delay in my response. I bought it at Home Depot. Or look on their website.

That's a Sacrificial Anode and is not used as a water bonder. It is used mainly in salt water pools to help alleviate the effects of Galvanic corrosion due to salt in the water and electrolysis. It should be tied into all other bonded components and grounded with an 8ft copper ground rod near the pool.

We have had an above ground pool for about 12 years. Pump is grounded but only in the past few weeks have I heard of bonding a pool. I talked to dozens of pool owners and none have a bonded pool and only a few even knew what I was talking about. I caught a some electricians in the grocery store parking lot and of the 4 different electricians that I asked, only one had ever bonded a pool. The one who had done it said it probably is not necessary but it is required by code. He said that this is kind of a new thing for our area.

its not grounding its equippotential bonding
@johnnymoretti Жыл бұрын
If you truly knew what you were saying, then you'd know that "equippotential bonding" also means simply "grounding". Equipotential bonding or simply bonding is a technique for minimizing the danger of equipment damage and personal injury. It entails connecting all metals and conductive goods to an earthing system (also known as a grounding system) so all of them have the same potential energy (voltage). Duh.

I'm not sure why you have to dig a bond since its not a ground
@Wingnut3532 жыл бұрын
Because you are bonding the dirt to your pool and the water... so everything within reach of the water is bonded together.... keeps you from getting shocked because all the water and ground are tied together with a bare wire, ... it has nothing to do with grounding.

Yes you do, if there are any hand rails or climb out ladders, they must be bonded to the steel reinforcing rebar in the gunite.
@armandtanzarian91883 жыл бұрын
The reason all this bullshit over regulation in pools exist now, because of a case in California. In that case, the hand rails on the diving platform weren't bonded, there was no requirement that they had to be at that time. What happened was some utility vehicle with a crane came in contact with some high tension over head wires. The truck despite having huge rubber tires that acted as insulators, caused a high build up of static electricity in the ground near a public swimming pool. Somebody on a diving platform was holding on to rails on both sides was temporarily mildly paralyzed by the static electricity, that they couldn't let go of the rails. Once the crane nearby broke contact with the power line, everything returned to normal. Nobody was killed or even mildly injured, but it pointed out a potential(excuse the pun)to cash in on safety issue.

Because it isn't grounding and has nothing to do with grounding... its eqipotential bonding so you can't say touch the water, and the ground and get shocked because they are at different voltages.

What state do you live in? I've seen bonding but an entirely different way. It didn't come out 18" from the pool. It said to dig 6" down and go around the entire pool making sure to connect several of the metal uprights (that depending on the size of your pool). I was just wondering if the requirements were different by each States requirement. Also, I love what you did at the skimmer for the grounding. I've seen the bonding plate that goes inside that the skimmer, but this method looks a whole lot better and doesn't put a hole in the skimmer. Where did you buy yours. Thank you so much for sharing!
