Hi everyone,
I have been building a semi inground pool. Started mid July and finished the plumbing yesterday. I would like to swim a the few days before the weather gets colder here in Ohio, so I am curious about swimming in an unbonded pool. I have mounds of dirt all around the pool that I need to move before I can run the bonding grid. That will require renting a dingo/backhoe (it’s a lot of dirt) and I planned to do it in the fall when the weather wasn’t good for swimming.
So my question is - if I turn off all electrical at the breaker panel, there should be no stray currents that need the bonding grid, other than maybe a stray static shock, right? It would be “safe” to swim with all electrical off at that point, correct?
Just want to check if I am understanding the whole bonding thing correctly and if my assumption is correct.
Thanks to anyone for any advice!
