Hi Everyone,
I was having a conversation with an associate of mine who is an electrician and the topic was bonding an above-ground pool. The common way I'm used to seeing done is to use a bonding plate that is installed in the skimmer. It involved drilling a 3/16" hole on the side and inserting the plate on the inside wall of the skimmer with the metal shaft going through the drilled opening. It has a gasket to seal any leaks and allows for a metal lug to connect to the shaft and that is where the #8 copper wire would also connect to. He mentioned that he has concerns about voiding any warranty by doing this and so I figured I would ask the TFP community's opinion on this one. Thanks in advance!
