On this episode of the Pool Magazine Podcast, host Joe Trusty welcomes back frequent guest Dallas Thiesen, Chief Government Relations Officer for the Florida Swimming Pool Association (FSPA), to discuss a major regulatory victory that will shape pool construction across the state heading into 2026.

Fresh off a unanimous decision by the Florida Building Commission, FSPA successfully secured approval to preserve and formally codify the long-standing #8 AWG single-wire loop bonding method within the upcoming 2026 Florida Building Code. The decision represents a significant win not only for Florida pool professionals, but also for homeowners who ultimately benefit from consistent, safe, and cost-effective construction standards. Listen in as Thiesen breaks down what was actually voted on and what was truly at stake had the proposal failed.
