Harold:
I can't resist....
AG pool, HO permit....two (2) rods, 6'6" apart, with #4 bare stranded, "butched" into the motor lug and the 'bond lugs' all around the pool (every upright), and then....back to the house, thru the basement, pipe clamps at the water main; meter jumped again, and into the panel.
Another HO "special" (as-built).....the jacuzzi wired with a 14 ga. orange extension cord; caps cut; twisted & taped splices......and a #8 solid bond to the PVC water pipes!! He had the gall to 'blame' the 'orange apron' guy for selling him the 'wrong' wire.
