I am considering having an in ground pool installed. And just looking into it was reading about bonding. I was curious why you don't have to bond a temporary pool like an Intex?

I don't think any of us can tell you the thinking when the NEC was developed as to why temporary pools got a pass on bonding. They had to pick a point where a tub of water became a pool and requried the NEC to be applied. Thus came the definition of temporary pools.

Any pool temporary or not that is 40" deep or deeper needs to be bonded per the NEC.
