AG Pool Bonding Theory

[jar546]

Got this email today from a licensed electrician who failed an inspection. Not sure how to respond. I am thinking just cite codes in the reply email. The paperwork was left behind with the homeowner as the electrician was not present for the inspection they scheduled.

XXXXX from xxxxx just called me and mentioned something about bonding the pool she didnt give me much info i thought there was no bonding to be done on above ground pools because of there metal body actually circles and is in contact with the ground in its entirety maybe i am wrong let me know what you require because i have another above ground in xxxxxx i may have to correct thanks

There was also a lack of bonding to the pump motor. The bonding lug was lonely waiting for a connection.

Would this theory work?

I think just citing the applicable code references would be fine.
