In this episode, we dive into a groundbreaking safety study on equipotential bonding, commissioned by the Pool Industry Council and conducted by John Antonelli in partnership with the Florida Swimming Pool Association. The report compared different bonding methods — including single copper wire, copper grids, and bonding within pool structures — to evaluate how effectively they reduce voltage differences between the water, deck, and surrounding components. John Antonelli explains in clear terms what equipotential bonding is, why it matters, and how improper bonding can create shock hazards in swimming pools. We also review the methodology of the study, the pools tested, and what the results revealed — particularly the differences between fiberglass and concrete pools.
