Getting ready to bond my all resin pool. I live in the country and have no codes or inspector to deal with but still want to do this right and only once!! My plan is bury 8 gauge solid bare copper wire around the the pool and connect it to itself with split bolt connector. Then I plan on coming off my "halo" with individual jumper wires to the skimmer, wall, pump and SWG. Anyone see a problem with this or suggestions on how to do it different?? I've read some posts where inspectors want a single run with it all looped together with no connections but can't really grasp how to do this. Thanks

I believe you need one piece wire all around the pool and then you get the special wire connections from Lowe's or Home Depot to join the others. Should be 4 equally spaced to the pool wall. Search for Mike Holts latest code.
My halo was gonna be one single piece. My pool is all resin so was only gonna bond the wall where it bolts together. Didn't want to drill holes in my wall and void my warranty.

A split bolt connector is approved and acceptable you don't need one continuous piece of wire.
You sketch looks fine only thing I would say is just run one wire to the equipment pad and just grab the pump and SWG on the same wire.
