Hi all - for the case of an existing pool where a arbor will be added within 5' of the pool is there a way to bond this to the existing system without having existing plans indicating the original grounding grid around the pool?

If you have a path to get to the pump there should be the #8 there that is accessible. If you don't see the #8 at the pump location, well, then you have more issues that you won't be happy about.

Though you may not know exact location it is bonded, any nearby items that should be bonded narrows your search area where you should find a bonding conductor down considerably I would think. Some concrete is likely needing replaced regardless.
