I think that is to "bond the water". You still need bonding for the pool frame.

Greg,

I know that the pool frame still needs to be bonded, I was just wondering if the widget was UL listed.

That is an interesting question. A copper lug might react with the aluminum frame. Most aluminum lugs use a regular steel screw that does not hold up that well although that is what they use to bond screen cages near a pool.
I ended up buying some 1/4-28 stainless set screws to put in the lugs I replaced the rusted ones with on mine.

Same issue with lugs that were installed on solar racking. Steel screws instead of the spec SS screws. Many!! had to be replaced.
