I have a pool that I'm wiring and the builder who used to be an electrician said he thought it would need a ground ring because it will not have poured concrete around it and will only have pavers installed. I have 4 tails of 8 solid at the corners of the pool that comes off of the pool rebar. All my bonding inspections have passed but he says he is sure I need one. I can't find anything in the code that says I need one only that I need the 4 points hit. Any suggestions?
Ground ring for pool?

Now I see it. Thank you
Okay so I've got the four #8 tails coming off of the pool rebar, so now I must connect the ground ring to all four tails? I see it also says the connections must be "listed". Will split bolts due? I see in 250.8 it says pressure connections are an approved method of bonding.

If they are DB rated they will.
Will they have any distinguishing marks on them that says they are (DB?)

Yes, DB rated grounding lugs I've used have a paper tag for identification.

And the paper tag will not survive burial for long, right?

The ones I use have "DB" stamped right on them.

Makes perfect sense to identify such a purpose with a paper tag doesn't it?
