Electrical Shock

[tenax]

-My understanding is that the only way the copper bonding loop ever connects electrically to the pool water is through the pool pump.

I will try to attach a picture of the set up (no luck).

Again thanks for all the help. I will be performing a few more measurements this weekend to see if I can isolate the problem. I thought that the 180' of bonding wire would also serve as a ground, but since it lies mostly in sand, that may not be the case. I like the idea of a second bonding loop and an additional copper ground....

fyi, my pump, heater and swcg are all connected to the bonding wire. if i recall correctly, my autopilot says that it must be connected to a bonding wire..and my heater had a nice yellow sticker with big letters saying it had to be bonded all have water going through them and are electrical, so i wasn't going to argue

I am having the same problem and wondered if you fixed your problem?

You said "The bonding wire lies in sand/dirt/compacted gravel as it travels around the pool and into the pool house where it connects to the pump lug; the bonding wire is about 180' in length and connects to the aluminum coping every 18"-24"."

Does the bonding wire just connect to the pump lug or does it also connect to your electrical ground?
