Bonding is the process by which the electrical and metallic components of the pool are joined together with a wire to form a non-resistive path between the components. The goal of bonding is to connect, contain and prevent the transmission of any harmful electrical voltage to pool equipment, people and pets.
Does pool water have to be bonded?
The National Electrical Code (NEC) has mandated that pool water “shall be electrically bonded,” not just metals in the structure of the pool itself. … A bonded pool balances the electrical “pressure.” This keeps currents flowing outward into a bonding wire or grid where they are safely disbursed.
What happens if a pool is not bonded?
If you do not bond your pool equipment there is the risk that the equipment itself will become the anode in a galvanic couple with other metal components in or around your pool. If this happens, the anode metals will deteriorate at an advanced rate, a phenomenon called galvanic corrosion.
