How do you install a ground wire to an above ground pool?

The equipment - pump etc - should have a ground connector with the wiring if it is the plug in type. If the equp. is to be hardwired then a separate green wire should be pulled into the conduit from the source to the pump etc. In addition to that all the equipment should be bonded electrically. Your electrician will know what this means. By connecting this green wire as per code you should be Ok. However, this is a job for a qualified electrician who knows the codes in your area. As for connecting the metal walls of the pool - I do not know what the code calls for in your state for grounding or bonding this piece. k

How do you fix a fixed appliance to a circuits?

There should be a connection point on the appliance. This needs to be hardwired into an electric box, often with a disconnect or breaker. In some cases you can buy or make a power cord that plugs into a dedicated outlet with a mating connection appropriate to the voltage and amperage requirements of the appliance. If the service does not already exist, you may want to employ an electrician.
