Bill,
Here in NJ the state makes me do a visual inspection every year that a community pool opens up. It is a non effasive type of an inspection. I look for loose wires, connections, new equip., no loose bonded equip., and test GFCI's. If something doesn't look good, then I can require another "Bonding" inspection. This bonding inspection happens to all public pools in NJ. The get tested every 5 years. A contractor would come in to this pool, and test resistence between all points. He has to be satisfied that it is below a safe potential. The makers of pool and pool equipment also make the meters that are used for this test. If you want info about the test, let me know.

Thqanks Harold, This info would be a help as we are getting prepared to do community pool testing for our county. A maajor controversy in our area stems from the fact that almost all the above ground irregardless of size are not bolted welded or screwd . Many parts snap fit together and since the code says NO bonding or grounding with sheet meat screws it is nearly impossible to do.

I like that method of the 10/32 tap and the stainless steel screws. That would satisfy the code. I know I'm guilty of using the #10 sheet metal screws into every other upright. We have to keep the solid #8 on hand for the summer months. Also I would scotch-cote every bonding, lug connection.

Coachman and JerryF,
If you E-mail me with a fax number, I will send you the info that you are looking for. My state is requiring that any public pool get a bonding and grounding certificate every 5 years, and I do ( as the AHJ ) a non-invasive inspection every year.
