Love the content. Respectfully though, people often get bonding and grounding wrong. The pool pump, heater and any other electrical component have BOTH a ground wire and a bond wire. A ground wire is the 12-16AWG wire that is wired to the motor connections in the back along with Line 1 and Line 2 (Usually 2 black or red wires.) Pool bonds do not use ground rods at all. Pool bonding is done by using a BIG 6AWG wire that is connected to every single piece of metal and even on fiberglass pools a water bond (plumbed in the pipes.) This connection ensures that there is no equipotential buildup on a piece of metal equipment that will be charged for any period of time. That charge difference will give you a shock on an initial touch (just like a static electricity discharge.) I can't tell you how many times people think their equipment isn't grounded when in fact it is. The bond wire may have popped off but the equipment is still grounded. Additionally this looks like a fiberglass pool and not a concrete pool. The steps near the deep end are shaped like how a fiberglass pool are made. That could've been the reason why you thought the tile was a composite. i respect your effort for good content. Just pointing out a few things that I saw while watching your video. I hope this helps you out and doesn't make you mad because my intent is to help. Thanks PS we use an app called Tapinspect for our pool inspections. Check it out because there are categories to click and inspect and the report is delish.
So glad my small town doesn't require a pool inspection, the single page information page that is handed out is simple. Pool much be 10 feet from any property line and in the back yard only. Pool bonding or grounding is not required either. Also simple "no trespassing signs eliminate any forced fence requirements. My homeowners insurance has verified these simple steps
pentair is the most popular. jandy is horrible, even the way it looks. so many extra mother boards for the latest models. now their support staff are not the most professional when compared to Pentair.
Having a basic knowledge of what we look for during a pool inspection can be very valuable to a buyer.

Do i have to know pool inspection questions? I'm taking the home inspection test next week.
Pool inspection is not on the national exam.
