I’m usually someone who doesn’t wire pools, but I wired one to help a friend who had a steel wall vinyl lined in ground pool. I used #8 and a copper bonding grid for under the pavers. The pavers got mortared in after I had left. I used copper colored direct burial lay in lugs to bond the pool walls. I’m not sure if the nuts and bolts were stainless or not. In any case, after this job I was learning about solar projects and dissimilar metals. That got me thinking about the pool lugs I installed prior. I’m going to be doing some more work at my friends house and I was wondering if I should be doing anything about these lugs, or are they fine? Is this an issue to be addressed, or will the lugs outlast the pool anyway? What would you do if anything? I’m not sure if I can get at the existing lugs because of the mortar. The job was inspected at the time, but I don’t know how sharp the inspector was. I just want to do what’s right if anything
