Hello All,

Getting around to running through my home inspectors punch list from a house we purchased with a pool. He specifically calls out bonding of the pool equipment. I'm trying to figure out what I need to do to alleviate his concern. Currently, there is a copper wire attached to the side of my pump that runs off into the ground somewhere - I'm assuming back to the pool. What I'm not sure on, is if I should also tie the panel and chlorinator in to this, by running a wire from the chlorinator power station to the panel bonding lug, and panel bonding lug to the pump bonding lug. The wire currently attached to the panel bonding lug is just dangling freely.

Pics attached. All help appreciated. Thanks!

If your third photo is of the free dangling wire then connect it to the bonding lug that is already there under the panel.
The free wire is the one connected to the marked binding lugs on the panel. Nothing coming out of the Intelliclor panel and the wire in the ground dead ends at the pump.
 
Based on this it seems the idea is to create a loop with the pool and all devices with the potential to induce current, so I should attach the main panel to the SWCG box, and then main panel to pump, pump to heater, and then on out to wherever the wire runs (assumed back to pool).
