Based on the '05 NEC, 680.26(C) asks us to install an Equipotential Bonding Grid under the pool and along the sides of the pool plus extend out 36" out from the inside wall of the pool under the deck. There is a TIA that says if the pool is a non-conductive type such as a polymer or a vinyl liner pool it does not have to be under the pool or along the sides of the pool. My question is: When we are talking about this non=conductive pool with no grid under the pool or along the sides of the pool are we still required to have a 36" grid under the deck or walking surface? My understanding is that the reason for the grid is the fact that people set on the edge of the pool with their feet in the water etc.
TIA 05-2
