A little back story.
When our whole house generator was being installed by N.E.C. code "all" grounds must be connected. They ran a ground wire to our submersible well pump. I questioned it by asking if I were to have a near lightning strike the well pump is now part of the equation and my electrician agreed but did not have a solution, He must follow code for the permit to pass.
well I have the same uncertainty with my pond pump of giving a ground path through my pump to the house main panel.
I have a somewhat above knowledge of electricity but can not find an answer to this question.
