pool zone electrical bonding
What is the correct setup for bonding the pool mesh and metal pool fence where a pool pump is installed in the pool zone? Is a separate bonding conductor run from the earth bar of the switchboard to each item or can you run one bond to the pump and tap off to mesh and pool fence?

FYI, a pool fence is not required to be equipotentially bonded unless it is within arms reach of the pool.
I'm not sure what you mean by "mesh".
If you do wish to earth the fence, a minimum 4mm2 cable must be run from the Main Earth Bar in your Main Distribution Board to the fence. It is advised that each section of the fence be connected to the cable. It is also advised that this cable NOT be broken between each fence section. Providing the cable remains unbroken, you can connect the same earth cable to the mesh (whatever that is?).“I do not think there is any thrill that can go through the human heart like that felt by the inventor as he sees some creation of the brain unfolding to success... Such emotions make a man forget food, sleep, friends, love, everything.” - Nikola Tesla.
