Re: Feeling a little electricity in the pool
Bonding should bond the water in the pool as well as every piece of metal and all other conductive material (reinforced concrete is quite conductive) close enough to the pool that a someone could touch it and the pool at the same time. The bond is there to force all these objects to the same potential (voltage) by carrying the current of any difference with almost no resistance. The OP here clearly has a bonding problem as did msumoose's friend.
I'm not sure Kelemvor, if driven grounds connected to the bond would help or hurt, they represent additional sources of stray voltage. Some codes require pool bond to be connected to driven ground, some do not. My non-expert opinion: the bond must carry the current of the voltage differences around the pool but should not be used to equalize potential accessed by driven grounds.
