So we bought our house in the winter and all of the pool equipment was uninstalled and put inside. When we took it out this spring, we realized there was no electricity running to the pool at all. We didn't think anything of it and just grabbed an extension cord because that has to be what the old owners did right? Well being on here I quickly realized how wrong we were. We just installed electric now to the pool with a gfci outlet. Now I'm seeing things about bonding the pool? I'm just so confused on how this pool was legally installed without electrical or bonding. It's listed on our county assessment paperwork as having a pool so someone had to of filed for a permit and what not and got final approval. I'm just baffled and confused. I'm so over this pool. It was a black swamp and we finally have it perfect and now this. Does it have to be bonded? If you don't run the pump during pool use, then why is it needed?
