Hi all,
I have an old pool built in 1975 by a construction company called "Hunterdon General Contractors". Their design consists of an 8" think concrete shell (and I think concrete floor but it's not physically connected to the wall pour?). The liner right now is in a top mount trakc which is screwed into a piece of wood sitting on top of the concrete wall. On top of that is another piece of wood and then a layer of mortar with chicken wire is on top of that with the coping sitting on top.
Liner needs to be replaced and a popular NJ liner company who deal with this style pool all the time has their typical fix which includes running an 8" aluminum strip along the inner surface of the concrete shell and then installing an aluminum side mount track onto the aluminum sheet metal.
In the process of all this, i'll be ripping off the old coping and all the old rotten wood and then putting new coping back after the liner is installed. Question came up about who is doing the bonding of the sheet metal. Liner company says the aluminum sheet metal and the liner track they are installing do not need to be bonded. I asked for further clarification and they simply just said again that it does not need to be bonded.
Any thoughts on if this is correct or not?
Thanks,
Matt
