my good friend is reworking his pond(s) and in the process has added two trash pumps to the mix, one is wired 220V and the other is 110v. Both will be hardwired, with one of them pushing water to his new and improved 8' tall waterfall. this new structure is supported by four piers that has added bracing made of all thread. these braces are exposed and have been sprayed with a heavy coating of bedliner. of course he wants me to hook his stuff up, but I am NOT familiar with these things and have told him I thought the rods need to be bonded since they are exposed, but not accessible, unless you are in the pond .

Am I right ? I looked at 682 but the Equipotential stuff has me flummoxed..since there is no easy access to the ponds but one of his streams between the ponds runs along his driveway...

his habit of charging into his pet projects makes me nervous about that 220 pump and the steel and the splashing babbling brook along his drive...
