O.K. missing neutral on pump/control GFCI installed, two new grounds rods at the house.. and a sacrificial zinc inline anode for salt water pools installed in water supply between pump and filter. So far, so good... =-D

For clarification, how bout a diagram ! ;-D

Called him and asked about the ground at the pool/pump house. He says that the ground is required at the sub panel since it's located in another structure and over 300 feet from the main. Also he says the bonding between the neutral and ground is removed at the sub.

Ok... electrician came out.. tested bonding grids and grounds as well as neutrals and all panels.. spent quite a bit of time on this. He DID find an issue with a GFCI circuit breaker he installed for the pump/SWG (Pool Pilot Digital). the neutral wasn't connected to anything, so it wasn't...

Thanks guys, such a wealth of information. Electrical code is greek to me. I think I'll stick to IT and gardening and let the electrician do his job =-D

Actually, no it's a tan liner with the brick waterline. One more question though. Previously it was mentioned that the bonding and grounding for the pool should be totally seperate in the U.S., yet we noticed tonight that the Pool Pilot Digital has the bonding lug and the ground lugs on the...

Yeah, I guess so.. LOL... only that it's the hottest it's been all year.. supposed to be 104 Thursday with a heat index of 110 !! .. I'm gonna strangle him if it aint fixed by then ! =-D

Sigh, Electrician says that the current leakage is through the pump. He suspects that he may have wired the two speed setup for the Pool Pilot Digital improperly. All I know is it ran fine, albeit the motor ran extremely hot. He's going to be back tomorrow morning, but for now.. pool is off...

Sorry, yes the walls are poly with a vinyl liner-not steel or aluminum. The concrete decking is fully bonded with the coping/ladder/handrail/fencing/pump. Dominion came out and installed new ground rods at our service pole back at the house (I forgot to mention that we put the pool over 350...

The only connection to bonding for the water in my vinyl pool is through the stairs (some rust) and the impeller screw in the pump (disintegrating/rusting)..there is no light in our pool, and the only other metal anywhere is the aluminum coping which doesn't contact the water at all.. fiberglass...

OK.. a little testing last night on my own.. electrician coming some time today. All water parameters good PH @ 7.1.. chlorine @ 2.1.. etc..We turned all power off, then disconnected the pump bonding wires. After putting on rubber boots and gloves (ha) I connected the test leads to the pump...

No, we opted to not install a pool light for this reason exactly. Over abundance of caution usually pays back in spades !

Good to see a neigbor on here! Howaya Greg? Just spoke with the electrician.. he'll be out first thing tomorrow morning.. Per his instructions called and had the electrical shut off to the pump house...why do i suddenly feel sick to the stomach after hosting a party with over 80 people in...
