This is an in ground pool. The lug on the motor is suppose to be bonded back to the pool breaker panel correct? #8 insulated?
Nope. The lug on the pump is only for the #8 that is used for the equipotential bonding.This is an in ground pool. The lug on the motor is suppose to be bonded back to the pool breaker panel correct? #8 insulated?
That is correct.It's chapel hill and orange county.
But from what you said it sounds like the bond does not have to go back to the panel room. So you might be right about the jack hammer. 680.26
It's the under water lights that require the insulated bond, right?

Good issue, back a few years New Jersey started inspecting commercial pools on a regular schedule, and they wanted all the bonding tested, we were getting flooded with calls, this time of year, and many of the repairs, bonds, required opening the pavement.
All metal parts of those pools are to be bonded to include.
ladder cups - rear of light niches bare #8 - inside #8 insulated green with 3m potting compound or aqua bond over connection an lug - skimmer plates - hand rails - diving board jigs - complete grid around pool an bare #8 back to pump motors - also all equipment in pump room or pump pad to be bonded to motor GRD lugs an the #8 from grid - anchors for volley ball net,think that just about covers it.
I'm sure someone will have a few more items I might have missed.
Does NJ require pools to be bonded if the pool was installed before the bonding of pools was required?

"On December 11, 1998, Governor Christie Todd Whitman signed into law P.L. 1998,C,137 which requires the periodic inspection of swimming pools, spas, and hot tubs on any property other than one or two family residential property. This law also provides that no facility may be opened until a valid 'bonding and grounding' certificate and electrical certificate of compliance are issued. These provisions are intended to ensure the life safety of workers at and users of such facility. The effective date is February 9, 1999.
The required bonding and grounding certificate must verify the continuity and integrity of the bonding and grounding system of the pool. The electrical certificate of compliance must verify that all wiring located in or about the pool pump and associated electrical equipment complies with the electrical subcode.
The bonding and grounding certificate is required to be issued by a recognized electrical testing agency and is valid for five years from the date of issuance. The electrical certification of compliance is required to be issued annually by the enforcing agency upon completion of a satisfactory inspection of the facility and payment of a fee established by the enforcing agency's administrative costs.
