Hi,
New here and this is my first post, lots of good info and knowledgeable people here. I am beginning installation on a medium sized fiberglass pool at a new construction home in VA in a few weeks. I am the builder/ developer at this site and this home will actually be my home, reason for the pool lol. Ive done the research and planning and am familiar with building practices, processes, utilities, etc, although my first pool.
Pool is approximately 11.5 x 22.5, will be travertine paver patio and coping. Going to install a concrete collar to lock in perimeter of pool and give a good base for coping to stick to. Have the water bonding kit coming with pool equipment and plan to run #8 copper around pool and to equipment. My question is do I need to tie the bond wire to rebar in the concrete collar as well, if so, 4 points around pool?
I searched around for some clear direction on this but came up short. Collar does not need to be as far out as the bond wire. Any code or best practice input would be appreciated, thanks.
