Say that you have this pool that is 5 years old and is dry for maintenance. Thhere is a ladder to your left and a diving board sopport to your right and you want to make sure that they are still bonded effectively to each other. You just bought one of those fancy-shmancy low resistance ohm meters that'll read micro-ohms, and what now...
Is there any maximum reading before you need to redo the bonding? Is there a standard? Who publishes a standard for bonded pool equipment? The closest thing I have found is <=0.00033 ohms across joints in a metallic cable tray system published in NEMA standard VE 1-1991 "Metallic Cable Tray Systems". We want our pool to be safe and bonded, so this is why we're looking at more than a visual or Fluke 87 based reading...
