Equipotential Bonding is NOT THE SAME AS GROUNDING. Grounding is the for all electrical installations for the protection of devices and the user. Equipotential Bonding is the bonding of ALL metal items of an entire swimming pool/spa system, where they all connect through the use of steel, metals or large solid uninsulated copper wiring. Aluminum wiring is NOT allowed. Once the bonding is accomplished, the electrical inspector for your local jurisdiction approves the structure safety as an ultimate grounding system for protection against any and all shock.
