I hope I am posting this in the right place. Total noob here on the site. We upgraded our 24' round to a 27' round last week. The guys who installed it did not do any bonding work. Couple of questions and your help would be greatly appreciated.
From what I can tell, the uprights are stainless. Can I bond at four points, on the uprights around the pool to satisfy this part of the requirement?
If the lugs are copper and the uprights steel, wont I run into a corrosion issue due to dissimilar metals? How is this handled?

I am fine with bonding the skimmer, pump and swg. Appreciate your help! Thanks!

It may satisfy the NEC, but is that what your municipality is using. All towns have different codes they enact, you need to know what is applicable to your area.
