I am bonding a in ground pool I plan on taking the # 8 solid cu from pool pump to one location of the completely metal pool wall/rail.Then come back off of the pool wall near the ladder with #8 and same for the light . This #8 does not have to go back to the panel correct?

Re: Bonding a pool

The purpose of the #8 equipotential bonding conductor,is to eleminate voltage gradients of the metalic part assoiated with the metalic pool parts,equipotental grid, and the local assoiated pool equipment only.

If you have a remote panelboard at a separate structure, local panel assoiated with this pool equipment remote from the SDS,Yes...

If fed from the SDS directly,path can be established by means of a properly sized and "Insulated" EGC,installed with circuit for equipment,to the EGC bonding path, from the SDS..Not in the need to extend the #8 solid cu to the SDS.
