I am inspecting an existing swimming pool.
The concrete perimeter surface surrounding the pool has been removed in order to expose a trench with a leaky gas line to be repaired. The gas supplies the pool's water heater.
In the ground around and near to the pool are several #8 AWG stranded wires. I imagine one end of these wires bond to the structural reinforcing steel of the pool shell further below ground. The visible ends most likely were connected to the rebar or the welded wire mesh of the perimeter surface. The perimeter surface will be poured in concrete soon.
Because solid wire only is permitted by existing code to bond pool to grid, how can this bonding issue be easily resolved?
Thanks
