I have an old in-ground pool with approx. 5 VAC between the water and ladder. I need to bond the ladder with the aluminum pool rim, as well as the pump and heater. The pool has a liner, and bonding to rebar is unlikely. I want to do the best I can without a backhoe.

The rim is in over 30 pieces, with readings of 0-5V. I can get aluminum 8-32 machine screws, but I want to know if there's any chemical reaction between stainless steel and aluminum. I'd like the completed setup to resist corrosion. I could also use a good suggestion for a lug to connect the 8 ga. solid to the rim.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Dave
