Re: Gonna buy a pool!
ok, I answered some of my own questions but opened more. I guess the pump cord is 3' long. And the pool needs to be bonded.
From what I've read, I need to bury a #8 bare copper wire 18" outside and 6" down around the pool and connect it to 4 equidistant steel uprights, the water, motor and any other conductive parts within 5' of the pool. Question is the pool has steel walls, but resin top, and bottom rail. the uprights are steel. Will I need to connect *all* of the uprights because they aren't otherwise connected electrically? Or do the steel walls make the connection? I'm thinking the paint and other coatings on the wall break the connection.
