Hi All:
Quick question. I was opening the pool today and I noticed my Pentair Intelliflo pump's grounding lug is solid all around the permeter. In other words in order to install a wire in it, the wire would have to have an open end so you can thread it into the bonding lug. My bonding wire does now have an open end. It run from the pool, past the pump and onto the intellicenter. Can I get a piece of bonding wire, attach it to my existing bonding wire and thread the other end into the bonding lug of the pump. If so, how would you correctly attach it to the existing wire? Would you use a bonding clamp?
Thanks..
 
You use copper split bolts to connect bonding wires...
