When installing an in-ground swimming pool or spa, there are several risks associated with the electrical bonding of concrete steel reinforcing. As such, a hazardous voltage can result in severe injuries or even death. To reduce this risk, the AS/NZS3000 (the Wiring Rules) has very specific requirements for electrical bonding of concrete steel reinforcing and other conductive metal parts located near the pool (within 1.25m), such as metal fencing and/or metal spigots or poles supporting non-metal fencing. The installation of these electrical bonding conductors should always be carried out by a licensed electrician who will need to know: 

• the location and type of electrical equipment being installed
• the type of electrical equipment being used for water circulation and filtration
• the location of any conductive fittings within or attached to the pool, such as pool ladders and diving boards
• the location of any fixed conductive parts within 1.25 metres of the pool edge, such as pool fences and light poles.
