After reading some threads here on subject, and having seen the process on my pool construction, I'm still a little concerned, or if not I should be concerned, and if I should investigate further, or what look for. Basically, would my pool water be properly bonded. I had no county or city requirement for electrical inspection.
I have no metallic fixtures in pool I can identify. I'm running all Pentair niche-less 12v Microbrites LED. I do remember, but before I read here and elsewhere all the applying NEC code, that the gunite rebar was tied all the way around in various places to loop of bonding wire on the perimeter. At the time, I did discuss with my PB and was satisfied with their answer, to bond, and I was inquisitive no further.
What I do know is that the pool is bonded to gunite around perimeter. Reading Pentair Microbrites install manual states that lights don't need bonding per NEC and that pool water bonding is satisfied by gunite porosity and conductivity. Should there be any other path of bonding past this?
Also, I read there is code for the decking, which I know mine has none other than what the bonding loop extended a few feet out from rebar to earth.
If there's anything I can do above and beyond, what suggested? Just want peace of mind.
