Break up the concrete and attach to the walls like you were supposed to. And the wet niche. And the ladder cups. And the hand rail cups. And the surface grid. Etc... Etc....

Ya have to knock the part of concrete to get into the rebar and you have to bring the bonding conductor out to the wet niche luminiare , pool ladders, pool pump and few others.

You will have to check with the NEC code on this one it kinda long list but you must follow this to order to meet the NEC requirement.

And when you bring the power for pool pump and luminaires there are specfic part in the code you have to follow. { sorry the UF cable is NOT allowed on this useage }

Merci.

So, does that mean CEC doesn't require the water to be bonded? I don't know what they do north of the border.

I did find this. I don't know if it is the actual verbiage from the CEC or a summary. If it is the actual verbiage, I'm going to Canada to work. Their code is written in plain English.

The metal parts of the pool and other non-electrical equipment associated with the pool such as
piping, pool reinforcing steel, ladders, diving board supports, and fences within 1.5 m (4.92 feet) of
the pool shall be bonded together and connected to non-current-carrying metal parts of electrical
equipment such as decorative type pool lighting fixtures not located in a forming shell, metal screens
or shield for underwater speakers, conduit, junction boxes and the like, by a copper conductor not
smaller than No. 6 AWG, which shall be connected to the main panel ground or ground electrode at
the house.
