Mean Gene, Cuz the code says so ![[Linked Image]](https://www.electrical-contractor.net/ubb/biggrin.gif) Actually..The purpose of the bonding of all conductive parts in and around the pool is to eliminate any possible voltage gradients between any of the surfaces associated with the pool. There is no requirement that this bonding be connected to any grounding electrode or equipment grounding conductor. See 680.26(C) Common Bonding Grid [This message has been edited by txsparky (edited 11-17-2003).]

George, I've had to dig up too many pools where the other methods were used - NOT installed by me though. How does one know that the bonding connections have gone to hell or are non existant? ![[Linked Image]](https://www.electrical-contractor.net/ubb/confused.gif) I always presumed the bonding requirement had something to do with lightning protection.

Not to get too far off topic here, but how do you bond an existing vessel that is to be converted to a swimming pool?
I am working with a church camp which was given some rural land. We have a large livestock tank built, as far as anyone knows, in the 1930s. It is filled by overflow from the drinking water tank, which is filled by an old Aeromotor windmill. Naturally enough, it gets used for swimming. We have a PT deck & stairs, floatation devices and the like. Now we have folks talking about adding a filter pump and making it into a real pool. It is of limestone construction.
Are we required to "bond" this, and if so, how? Do we have to add rebar and pour more concrete?

yaktx,
"Conversion pool?"
Sorry, I'm not an advocate of this kind of kluge.
Too much potential liability.
How big is this tank?

If there is no rebar to bond, then there is no bonding required for the pool itself. Equipment will still have to be bonded, as will metal things like ladders, diving boards, etc.
