This sounds about as useful as grounding a plastic water pipe ...
That's kinda my thought.
OK if you were standing wet and barefoot on a wood deck would you bet your life on the wood being an insulator? :grin:
LOL - Well, let's see. I would trust it as an insulator roughly the same as I would trust it as a conductor.
I mean, I was incredulous when the pool water bonding requirement came to be, but now I've become accustomed to the idea. I just can't see the point of attempting to bond wood. I can see banning wood, I suppose, in years to come, because it presents this issue.
The thing is, it seems as though building a wood deck has been the stock answer around here to dodge equipotential bonding around an outdoor spa forever. Now that fundamental attitude is being called into question, I'm not quite sure how to respond to that...
