Recently finished a build and Waterproofed the entire shell with hydroban cementitious.
I started thinking today about equipotential electrical bonding and came across this...
I did install one bonded skimmer but now I'm concerned about whether we have proper water bonding. This is a scary thought.
Anyone have expert knowledge on this matter and hydroban cementitious? I assume it will act as an electrical barrier the same as vinyl or other non-conductive material. If so, does the single bond on the skimmer suffice in making the pool safe?

- For Pool Water Bonding required by NEC Article 680.26(C), concrete pools are considered conductive (refer to 680.26 (b)(1) due to the porosity of concrete and the bonding of rebar. No additional bonding is required. Vinyl liner and fiberglass composite shells are considered non-conductive and require a water bond.
