Hi Folks,
I know bonding has be talked about in this forum ad nauseam.
I'm replacing my old AGP that I installed several years back with a Resin pool. Old pool was easy peasy, all metal, 4 points around the pool with lugs on the uprights. All standard bonding -- easy stuff.
New pool is Resin rails (bottom and top), Resin bottom and top plate. The only metal is the wall and the uprights. So standard is to use the tie bar on the wall seam to mount a ground lug. Going to do that. But some municipalities want 4 points because they want to argue NEC code interpretation. At any rate, I'm not opposed to adding more bonding points, as its not going to hurt anyway.
I'm thinking since I have the old 8ga wire loop around the pool with 4 connection points -- to go ahead and drill a hole down below the cove during new pool install and put a lug on the outside of the pool wall.
Question, what have you used successfully to treat the hole drilled through the wall? Cold Galvanized paint? Anti corrosion spray (like marine anti-corrosion spray)?
I was thinking I might go two layers...once the bolt is screwed in with lug on the outside of the wall (again below the cove) and confirm good continuity with the wall, I'd then spray with cold galvanized paint. Let that dry...then spray with marine grade anti-corrosion spray.
Something like this https://www.amazon.com/CRC-06026-Heavy-Corrosion-Inhibitor/dp/B0000AXYA0
I've used this for Marine applications and its been pretty good in Salt water.
Or have you found a better option when treating this?
