I understand that i have to run #6 bare copper around the pool hitting all metal parts but my pool is a semi-inground. Every four feet or so there is a metal support going down the side of the pool. Do i need to put a bonding lug on every single one? There is probably 30+ of them. The metal frame of the pool is all connected to each other so i dont understand why i would have to hit every single one to be "code compliant"

Thanks

Philip

The minimum bonding conductor size is #8 bare solid copper. And, yes, you have to ensure all metal parts including rebars, coping, ladder and handrail cups, etc. are electrically bonded and connected.

Are you dealing with an above-ground pool that is partially buried?
