Same here... we have had 3 pools put in over the last several years at
different locations (2 in GA & 1 in NJ) and codes required the entire rebar
cage be bonded around the circumference with one continuous length of large
copper wire, ground rods driven and tied to AC Utility ground.

| When I had a pool installed in NY (years ago), part of the electrical code
| stated that the contractor had to bind the rebar around the entire pool
with
| one continuous length of wire and then ground that (I have long forgetten
| the rules behind the actual grounding itself). There were specially
| designed clips/fasteners that assured good contact with this continuous
wire
| and the rebar, which was under the path around the pool, and the pool
metal
| surfaces themselves.
|
| Your questions might have answers in the electrical codes.

| |
| |
| | I am currently building a new home and I plan to place a perimeter
ground
| | around the house and this will also encircle the pool. The pool
| | is adjacent
| | to the house.
| |
| | My contractor raised the question of whether I should connect the
| | perimeter
| | ground to the rebar that forms the pool structure. He says the rebar
will
| | be tied together with wire. ( I doubt that I will be able to get in and
| | assure these are good electrical contacts though.) Any thoughts?
| |
| | Also, should we drive a ground rod or two into the ground at the bottom
of
| | the pool and tie these into the rebar cage?
| |
| | The QTH is Florida east coast, 3 miles from the ocean. The
| | ground is sandy,
| | fairly dry, and the water table is 30 to 40 feet deep.
| |
| | Comments and suggestions will be appreciated.
| |
| | Thanks, Ed KG4ARN
