Hello all, in this closed post- http://forums.mikeholt.com/showthread.php?t=146798&highlight=pool

He says "It has been stated that it must be 12" deep''

So does this mean he just cut some 8wire connected to pump bonding lug and then just drilled a hole 12'' deep through cement then poured a little fresh cement in hole to secure, that's it? it doesn't have to be connected to other pumps or to the pool structure rebar?


Im here to learn, hey thanks for your help:D

I think if you look closely at the thread in question you will find the 12" was not relative.
As referenced in the answer, 680.26 does require a depth of 4 to 6" for a bare conductor being used to form a perimeter bond.
The pump, along with the other components must be bonded, together. That task is often accomplished by a #8 Cu but there is no required depth other than as noted above.

Here is a link to a video Mike has on the subject
