Q: How do I know if my inground pool is bonded?

• <div><p>You can check if your pool is bonded by looking for a copper wire that connects to the motor and pumps and then extends into the ground.

An electrician can check the system and determine if it is up to code and meets all swimming pool bonding requirements.</p></div>
