Re: Pool Grid: Revisited
Posted by gfretwell:
If you are bonding dirt, it has to be copper. If this is encased in concrete it can be the steel rebar or presumably after 2008, steel mesh. I understand some people do not think a single #8 is sufficient but Florida decided in 2006-7 that this would work and adopted the 2008 rule early as an add

Using table 9 and guessing that is 8ga wire (.128" diameter) that would have to be almost 23" long to get the required 9 sq/in .128 x 3.14 x 23 = 9.244

This job is 160 to 200 ft of 6 inch under a river & up to handholes each side.

Posted by renosteinke:
