Bonding and Grounding Your Pool
All of your pool’s metal components should first be bonded or connected by copper wires. This can include your pool pump, the pool itself, pool ladder, any handrails that are around the pool, as well as any other metal piece that is part of the pool setup. These will all be connected by the copper wire, and this will prevent electricity from taking an alternate route through metal components. The idea is to keep the electrical current where it belongs and not take a short cut through the pool water.
Grounding is providing a place for stray electricity to go into the earth. In fact, bonding and grounding go hand in hand to prevent electrical shock for pool setups. Our electricians can explain what needs to be done to ensure that everyone is safe when using the pool, and that any electrical issues will bypass the pool and go into the ground safely.
