Default Is your above ground pool bonded?

I was just reading about voltage gradients and use of bonding and as far as I know I have never seen this in use. Is your AG pool (4 pillars plus skimmer) bonded to the pump?

The past tense of bonding.

Bonded = Grounded.

What's with the requirements of a "Convenience" outlet twenty feet from pool? What the hell does that have to do with anything? NY state laws.

Grounded ≠ Bonded.

The video was only to show the loop of copper wire for bonding the pillars.

I see a few Canadian pool companies mention this for AG pools so I was wondering if some other members might have had this done.
