Question: I am trying to understand this portion of the code... does this mean that the water must be bonded irrespective of being a fiberglass pool and dry niche luminares, and has no other conductive parts within the pools?thanks
Yes, that's correct. The code is requiring that the water in the pool be bonded to the electrical system, regardless of whether the pool is made of fiberglass or has dry niche luminares. This is because water is a good conductor of electricity, and if it is not properly bonded, it can pose a shock hazard. The code also requires that there be no other conductive parts within the pool that are not bonded to the electrical system. This is to prevent any potential electrical currents from flowing through the water and causing a shock hazard. Flag for review
