Trying to really figure out the correct way of doing this...
I've read all the codes, Mike's Videos etc...
When bonding for an inground pool that has steel walls, vinyl liner, and will have paver patio around it what is the best approach.
I had one inspector say that it needs to be 1 single continuous piece of bare solid 8 awg that loops around and hits every metal piece....
To me it doesn't specify this anywhere in the code (2014) that it needs to be one continuous piece.... 680.20 B
The second portion of this is that the equipotential bonding of perimeter surfaces 680.26(B)(2)(b) If I hit 4 points equally spaced around the steel wall of the pool and connect these points to the perimeter ring at the corect depths and measurements via approved connectors this ring does not need to go back to any panels, pumps etc correct?
It seems that in fact you have 2 "loops" around the pool one burried down by the light fixtures and other metal objects that leads back to the panel, pumps, heater etc and then you have a second loop at the surface that does not need to directly connect back to the pumps,panel, etc.
Thanks in advance for any helpful information on this.
