Mine passed without needing to bond to the liner track. Just bonded to the wall in like 8 spots. Overkill but better safe than sorry.

Hi I’m replacing my pool decking and coping and was wondering if the aluminum liner track should be connected to the bonding grid? If so, it’s about 20 separate pieces technically so should each piece have a bonding lug attached to it? I should add it’s concrete walls as well so maybe the bond...

Well I think you were correct to wonder about the new concrete and old concrete not conducting the same. I finally got my trench refilled a few days ago and start doing readings again today. Unfortunately I was feeling a tiny shock when I touched the old concrete coping but when I touched the...

Well he said he’s just adding these little pieces to help support the new concrete and keep it attached to the old concrete

He probably just put in 75 of them so connecting to each of them would be a pain and costly.

Now could stray voltage hit those rebar dowels and not my copper wire since they aren’t connected?

Sorry I didn’t mean to copy and paste what you previously said. I meant to say previously there was no rebar in the concrete decking but they just added these dowels today before they poured concrete back in the trench. Now these are just individual pieces that aren’t tied together so does my...

It needs to attach to your pool at 4 points (coping), pool light niches, pool handrail anchors, pool ladder anchors, and to the rebar or re-enforcing wire in the concrete if present...then back to the pump equipment. The wire itself can be in the dirt in places and in the concrete in places and...

So previously there was no rebar in the concrete decking but they just added these dowels today before they poured concrete back in the trench. Now these are just individual pieces that aren’t tied together so does my bonding wire need to attach to some of them now?

There was no rebar in the concrete decking just the concrete pool walls.

Yes it’s a vinyl liner but has concrete walls. Not sure if that’s unusual or not. But I tied in to about 10 pieces of rebar in the walls all around the pool just to be safe.

No not yet. Decided to move forward the cutting the concrete and Just had concrete trench cut around the pool this week and I just installed a new bonding wire around the entire thing. I did find a wire connecting to the wall and some metal fittings in some spots but not all the way around the...

No not yet. Just had my concrete trench cut around the pool this week and I just installed a new bonding wire around the entire thing. They will be back tomorrow to fill in the trench with concrete. I do have a question though. Does the bo ding wire need to be touching the dirt and the concrete...

I have a question about bonding an in ground pool. We just had our existing old concrete pool deck ripped out and realized it wasn’t properly bonded. I’ve run a 6 gauge copper wire around the whole pool and attached to multiple pieces of Rebar in the wall as well as the pool light. My question...

Yeah it’s definitely disheartening to say the least. The pool is a big reason we bought the house and we haven’t even been able to use it so my wife and kids are going crazy. I feel like the light is a good connection though because the second I connect the bonding wire to the light then voltage...

Ok so here’s the latest update. I got a new main panel installed and also got the power company out here and they cut power to my transformer and 3 others in the general vicinity and he was still getting close to 3 volts on my ground wire he was also getting the same thing on the bonding wire...

Neutrals and grounds are only bonded at the main panel. They are separate at the sub panel. I only disconnect the ground completely from the sub panel to get the voltage to go away.

I just moved into this house in January and we noticed the issue the first time we got in the pool. Previous owner said he didn’t use the pool last year at all and come to find out his neighbor said he hadn’t used the pool in the last 3 years. So I’m wondering if that’s coincidence or if he is...

Yeah I’m definitely going to reach out to an electrician for replacing the panel. As far as your method for testing the voltage goes, when I first realized the current in the pool we cut off the main breaker and it was still there so I would imagine that trumps the whole idea of flipping each of...

Are you saying just the tiered neutral bar needs to be replaced or the entire panel? I tried looking and I’m not seeing that neutral bar anywhere. Who knows hold old this GE panel is. I wouldn’t even mind replacing the entire panel if it would fix my issue and it would just be helpful to be nice...

This is my mess of a main panel. Neutrals and grounds are all on mixed in on the 3 bars that are connected and bonded to the panel. I noticed quite a few neutrals and grounds were in the same holes so I separated those. Also the large lugs on the neutral bar were corroded so I tried brushing...

Was that at your main panel or sub panel?

Ok what does bonding at the main panel look like? This is the first I’ve heard of this.

I’m no electrician but aren’t grounds and neutrals all connected to the same bus in the main?

I’ve already priced out cutting a trench in my concrete all the way around the pool and installing a new bonding grid just to be safe. All of the pool equipment is bonded together and then the bonding wire goes under ground and who knows what it does from there. I’d say my pool is at least 30...

House was built in 1975 I believe and I agree the wiring is all over the place. Yes when I completely disconnect the light from everything the voltage is 0 anywhere near the light but it comes and goes in other areas around the pool but when I disconnect the ground from the panel the voltage is...
