Pool bonding question

[rlavoie123]

Hi
I am just wondering what price of bonding is. Replacing a pool so I have the gfci outlet already and also may even have wiring right from the old pool? Replacing in June. Its full resin pool so do I even need to bond 27x52 above ground wondering price and if I need to
Thanks!

Hello and Welcome to TFP!!
The answer to that question is “we don’t know”. The cost of an electrician who is knowledgeable about pools and their requirements is very varied and depends on the local market, how busy they are and what services they need to provide.
Your best answer I’d to contact a few electricians and ask them. Make sure they have done pool bonding previously. There are many electricians who have no idea of the requirements.

Are the sidewalls resin as well as the ring around the bottom? If not they must be bonded & in either case a bond wire still needs to go all the way around the pool in a continuous loop & connect to a water bond as well as the pump & swg, heater etc. Let us know more info about your pool & we can help u get a better understanding of the basic requirements. Your local code enforcement should also be able to tell u exactly what is required in your area.
Equipotential bonding is for your/ your family’s safety so yes it’s needed.
