    Bonding problem Above ground

    Haha no I think you answered some of my questions the other day I had about bonding wire under my deck. I'm going to be adding the bonding wire. From what I've seen most people make the loop around the pool connected in four spots of the pool metal covers. Then connect to any electrical stuff...

    Bonding problem Above ground

    Ok thanks I have been getting really confused with the relationship between bonding and grounding. And I get that a 3 pronged plug obviously has a ground but I thought there had to be a separate ground. So does anything get connected to a ground rod and if no why did the pool company put it...

    Bonding problem Above ground

    I I'm not saying you're wrong but I believe at one point that screw was green. Its a couple years old and that is what the pool company used to ground it to a ground rod. They are not the best pool company so its not out of the question they did it wrong. But what you're saying is I use that to...

    Bonding problem Above ground

    I'm trying to bond my pool and from everything I've seen there should be a bonding lug on top of the motor separate from the grounding lug behind the switch. Can the bond be shared with the ground or am I supposed to somehow add a lug am I somehow missing where this connection should be made?

    Bonding problem Above ground

    No my town is really relaxed on above ground pool laws apparently. I didn't need any kind of permit or anything and I see many pools in town with no fence around them even. Which I thought would be a basic thing required. I'm just wanting to bond my pool purely for my own well being and to make...

    Bonding problem Above ground

    I know I'm being a pain about this. You guys have explained in great detail how to correctly bond a pool and I thank you and appreciate it. What I am looking for i guess is a "right" wrong way to this. I'll post a picture of my pool so you can see what I'm talking about but what I'm proposing...

    Bonding problem Above ground

    When you say "some" bonding are you saying I don't necessarily have to do the ring around the pool? What I'm asking is if I have my pump, salt cell control box, and a sacrificial anode placed in the water flow bonded together and grounded, will that provide some level of protection? Or is it a...

    Bonding problem Above ground

    So I had an above ground pool put in 2 years ago and I am just now finding out about sacrificial anodes. So I ordered one that I plan to put in pvc before the salt cell on the return side. While looking into this I'm realizing my pool is not bonded. I figured I would do this as well but the...
