Follow the manufacturers instruction manual and code in your area. Or better yet, get a professional to see that all systems are compatible and that you have a balanced system and can test the system once is on line.

How do you bond a swimming pool?
Bonding in swimming pool language is the use of a number 8 gage wire connecting all metal parts. That #8 bonding wire starts with the wire cage or re-bar in the pool shell. It continues to the grab rail, if there is one, then to the pool light, metal rope hooks, if they are present, to the pump, the heater, the time clock etc. It is sometimes what some people would call a double ground wire or redundant ground. k
What happens to a swimming pool heater if a bond wire isn't attach?
If a malfunction occurred there is the possibility of electricity entering the pool. Therefore, the bond wire should always be attached.
How far can you run a 1.5 hp swimming pool pump on 12 2 with a ground?

What is a fuel pump pigtail and what does it do?
A fuel pump pigtail would be the electrical connector and the last few inches of the wire harness before it is plugged into the fuel pump. It connects the vehicles wire harness to the fuel pump.

How to wire a 5 wire thermostat properly without a diagram?

How important is it to ground wire for an above-ground pool when installing a pump and filter?
It is critical that the system be properly grounded. If none exists go to Home Depot or other supplier and install a ground rod at the site and properly bond the equipment to it. Electrocution would be bad. Answ:: THE ABOVE ANSWER IS FLAWED. The bonding wire is not a substitute for a ground wire!!! PLEASE TURN OFF YOUR EQUIPMENT NOW. Do not let anyone use the pool or touch any of the equipment - pump, motor, filter, heater etc. Call a qualified swimming pool electrician to completely bring your equipment to code before someone dies. Codes for swimming pools can be different than those for a house. k In any electrical system a "ground" is critical. Without a pre-determined path to follow, electricity will take the shortest, easiest path to complete a circuit, which is usually the unfortunate dripping wet person who has touched the wrong thing. With a correctly installed ground wire, the shortest, easiest path is down the wire.
