Pentair Power Center Installation

[dtrujillo63]

Do you guys know if I have to bond the Pentair Power Center to the same bonding wire that my pump and heater are on? I just finished installing the Power Center for my new IC40 and was confused about the "Earth Bonding" section, does that go to my pool bonding wire or to the copper earth rod next to my main panel.

Its not the same.

Its meant to go either to a ground rod or to your intersystem bonding termination. (only exists if you have a newer house or have a very anal telephone or cable company) If your ground rod is nearby (within 20 feet or so) you can connect to the ground rod.

Attaching it to the bonding system may increase the chances of interference with the electronics.
