New Ontario CEC bonding requirements for above-ground pools are extremely costly and impractical due to expensive prefab grids and labor-intensive DIY alternatives.
Prefab grids are prohibitively expensive and hard to find; DIY with #6 wire is laborious and not cost-effective. No affordable, easy-to-install compliant bonding solution exists.
