1)> I AM INSTALLING A SEMI INGROUND POOL THAT I NEED TO BOND I UNDERSTAND U RUN A #8 WIRE TO ALL METAL PARTS BUT WHERE DOES THIS WIRE HOOK UP TOO ONCE YOU CONNECTED IT TO THE METAL PARTS?

It is not required to connect to anything else. That is why the section (680-22) is called "bonding" and not "grounding". The purpose is to make sure that every conductive object at the pool is at the same voltage.

BKLYNN,

Hello to a fellow New Yorker!

Also connect to the following items if they exist:

• Groung Lug on the pump
• Ladder (unless totally plastic)
• other metal objects within 5 feet such as Chain link fence, metal framed windows, doors, leaders and gutters.

BILL ARE YOU IN SUFFOLK? WHAT DO U THINK OF POOL LIGHTS THAT HOOK UP THROUGH THE FILTER RETURN?

BKLYNN,

Yes, I'm in Suffolk. (Centereach)
I'm not sure what you mean. I'm not familiar with anything like that.


I've seen some plug-in types of lights is that what you mean?
