Where is pool bond wire ?

The pool grid... where does the #8 usually come out of the ground ? I'm working on a pool panel... and I don't see it anywhere....

Look around the pump motor or timer, or any other equipment for the pool. You probably won't see it in the panel as its not required to be there.

I agree with Bill you should NOT see it at the pool panel.

ok,, it's running up the back of a 4x4 post which supports the pool panel.... and goes directly into the pool panel.
The aged copper actually blends in pretty nicely with the pressure treated post, which is covered in vegetation.
But anyway, goes directly into the pool panel, and I don't see split bolts or anything to make taps for the pump ground & heater ground....

That one is likely not part of the pool bond grid (more likely a panel grounding electrode).
As suggested above. Look at the pump.

But it's a 4 wire sub panel.. with no need to drive a ground rod at a sub.

If the sub is not on the same structure/building as the main panel then you have to have a ground rod or other grounding electrode for the sub.

Does anyone know the Y2K pool bonding codes?

What are Y2K pool codes?

 

[jusme123]

No equipotential bonding of panel shown, because it’s not required

Year 2000. 20 years ago.

Does anyone know the Y2K pool bonding codes?

Does NY have any state code that may override the NEC? If not, what has been stated by the others was applicable in 2000.

As related to the pool panel, as far back as the '99 Code it states the bonding wire does not need to be extended to the pool panel.
