Code not clear to me in two areas and I would like to know if I could get some advice.
1st---Have a permanently instlalled pool with one filter motor, one gas heater and one underwater light.
All bonding has been accomplished around the pool and the grid installed.
Have brought two no. 6 awg solid conductors to the pool filter motor and the heater.
Is it necessary that I drive a ground rod near the motor and heater equipment pad (which is 20 feet from the pool) and tie this to the bond leads?
Can't seem to find this in article 680, though I have seen this in other installations.
2nd---680.12 indicates all utilization equipment requires disconnects. I have a sub panel (Main lug only) located and installed near the pad that will feed the pool utilization equipment. From what I have been reading in the code, it does not necessarily mean that I have to provide a main disconnect for the panel itself and the breakers within the panel can serve as the disconnect for the equipment. Am I correct in understanding the code, that no disconnect would be required for this situation.
Thanks in advance for any input.
