Pool Bonding Missing?

[longbody]

I'm looking for a video that Mike did showing how to test bonding integrity on a swimming pool.

NOTE: This is NOT the video where he tested to be sure stairs, handrails, etc. were bonded.

In the one I'm looking for, he did resistance test to the deck itself (I'm pretty sure he wet it). The pool had a glass enclosure around it, if that helps.

I have been unable to find it on his YouTube channel.

One of my customers recently had their pool re-plastered. After the builder was finished and everything was backfilled, I noticed that there was no bonding wire showing up in the equipment room. I notified the builder, went out a few days later and the bonding wire was in the equipment room. I bonded all of the equipment together but, in retrospect, I'm wondering if the builder actually excavated and found the bonding wire connected to the pool or if he just ran a short piece of bonding wire that's NOT connected to the pool.

For safety's sake, I would really like to confirm that he did it right.

If the pool has a ladder or step railing you could start by checking continuity between the ladder (railing) socket and your equipment.
There are a lot more tests that you could/should do but that will let you know if the bond wire that appeared at the equipment actually makes it back to the perimeter,

Mike has a good video of using Neutral to earth voltage to verify objects are indeed bonded. It’s a good tip to know and should be done after every install I would think.

Sounds fishy. I would verify as 2 posters mentioned.
