BIG NEWS! The Florida Building Commission Voted Unanimously to Keep Single Wire Swimming Pool Bonding in the 2026 Florida Building Code.
Sarasota, FL — December 10, 2025 — On Tuesday, December 9, the Florida Building Commission unanimously and unequivocally voted to keep the single wire bonding loop method of Bonding Swimming pools and spas in the Florida Building Code for the 2026 code and beyond. This is a big win for Florida residents and for the swimming pool and spa industry.
FSPA and the Pool Industry Council undertook this initiative to prevent the single wire bonding method from being eliminated in Florida, which would force Florida residents to rely on unnecessary and costly methods of swimming pool and spa bonding.
A study funded by the Pool Industry Council and conducted by SunSmart Engineering this year demonstrated that #8 AWG single wire loop bonding was effective in mitigating voltage from a 120V ground fault event at a swimming pool and protecting bathers.
