As a contractor and home inspector in S Florida for 20 years I can't tell you how many times I have found pools that were not bonded properly.
If I had a nickle for every time I did a re-inspection of repairs and found an "electrician" (most of the time with a paid receipt)had come out and installed a ground rod and connected it to the bonding lug on the pool pump I wouldn't have to work any more. One guy used stranded #8 and literally wrapped around a section of chain link fence with his fingers 2 ft away no clamp.
I would have to say based upon my experiences that most electricians know nothing about pool bonding because I refuse to believe they are that uncaring and incompetent. David June 8 2016, 9:16 am EDT Reply to this comment |
