When we first started up the pool after moving in, there was a metal intermatic timer box located right next to the pump. One bonding wire going to the pump, the other to the timer box.
Ive since moved the timer into a storage shed about 15' away from the original location. I then took both bonding wires and used a 2-input block screwed into place on the pump to have them both bonded to the pump. I was under the impression you want a COMPLETE loop, whereas going one to the timer and one to the pump leaves the loop open.
What is the correct way? Is one to the timer and one to the pump satisfactory? Or does it need to be a complete loop with an input/output at the timer AND pump? Ive also read equipment a certain distance from the pool doesnt need to be bonded, but now I have an SWG and since its electricity flowing through the cell right against the water, Im assuming that needs to be in the bond loop as well now.
Thanks in advance.
