I read through some of the reports and it all led to one thing improper grounding and bonding.

As a matter of fact to prove out my grounds and box's I installed yesterday I checked conductivity with my meter to the AC unit outside.
The reason you see the wire splices in the one box is because a special in line plug the ground had rotted away and was not continuous to the pump.
I refused to use it and spliced instead.

I wont work on or install anything without a ground.

That plug looked something like this but was 120 not 220/240.
The wire you see coming out the left side goes to a float switch.
The plug has male and female ends in it.
The switch closing makes the continuity between one side therefor completing the circuit.
When this happens the pump kicks on.
