Bonding a Jetted tub. (A) I have grounded & GFCI protected the pump & the heater according to code. (B) I wired a #8 copper wire to the bounding clamp on the tub and connected it direct to two grounding rods outside the house. The Reason for this is an article I saw once that mentioned connecting it to the house ground could be dangerous ... Question: Is this correct? Should I connect my tub bounding wire #8 to the common ground at the panel or is it better to connect it to its own ground rods ? Best regards Georg
