    Default Re: AG Pool wiring and other headaches

    Okay, I think I have been getting bonding and grounding confused.

    My pump will be located about eight feet from the pool. Everything that is bonded is supposed to be within five feet of the pool. The only metallic body greater than 4" square within five feet of my pool is the pool itself. Does this mean that bonding isn't necessary, unless I am to bond the different metal parts of the pool to itself? I also understand that the 8AWG wire should be run to the area of the pool pump in case a non-double insulated pump is every installed.

    Also, I keep reading that an earth ground rod is not desirable on a pool circuit, and I am baffled as to why that is the case. This seems to imply that any grounding that takes place is to do so through the residence grounding system. Is this correct?
