Should the pool frame bonding wire be connected to the electrical grounding rod?

[tenderfoot]

Hi,

Is the 8 AWG bare copper solid wire that is tied to the pool rebar supposed to be directly connected to the electrical grounding rod of the house?

I know that this copper wire is supposed to be connected (bonded) to the frame of all the pool equipment (pumps, controller box, etc...), but is it supposed to also be directly tied to the electrical grounding rod of the house?

Thanks!

The bonding wire is not supposed to be directly connected to the grounding rod.

Correct, do not tie to the ground rod. More here, Pool School - Bonding vs Grounding
