IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Read and Follow All Safety Information and Instructions.
Keep for future reference.
Failure to follow these warnings and instructions can result
in serious injury or death to users, especially children.
Prevent Young Children From Drowning:
• Install fencing or approved barrier around all sides of pool.
• State or local laws or codes may require fencing or other approved barriers.
• Check state or local laws and codes before setting up pool.
• Drowning occurs silently and quickly. Assign an adult to supervise pool and wear provided
water watcher tag.
• Keep children in your direct sight when they are in or near pool and when you are filling
and emptying pool.
• When searching for a missing child, check pool first, even if you think your child is in the
house.
• Pool presents a drowning hazard even during filling and draining of the pool. Maintain
constant supervision of children and do not remove any safety barriers until the pool is
completely empty and stowed away.
• Refer to the list of barrier recommendations and guidelines as described in CPSC
Publication No.362.
• Assign an adult to be responsible for watching children in the pool. Give this person a
“water watcher” tag and ask that they wear it the entire time they are in charge of
supervising children in the pool. If they need to leave for any reason, ask this person to
pass the “water watcher” tag and the supervision responsibility to another adult.
Prevent Young Children From Gaining Access to Pool:
• Remove pool ladders before leaving pool. Toddlers can climb ladder and get into pool.
• Position furniture away from pool so that children cannot climb and gain access to pool.
• When leaving pool, remove floats and toys from pool that might attract a child.
Be Prepared to Respond to an Emergency:
• Keep a working phone and list of emergency numbers near pool.
• Become certified in cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) so you can respond to an
emergency.
Diving Risk:
• Do not dive into the pool. Diving into shallow water can result in a broken neck, paralysis,
or death.
Electrocution Risk:
• Keep all electrical lines, radios, speakers and other electrical appliances away from the
pool.

An outdoor swimming pool, including an inground, aboveground, or onground pool, hot tub,
or spa, should be provided with a barrier which complies with the following:
1. The top of the barrier should be at least 48 inches above grade measured on the side of
the barrier which faces away from the swimming pool. The maximum vertical clearance
between grade and the bottom of the barrier should be 4 inches measured on the side of
the barrier which faces away from the swimming pool. Where the top of the pool
structure is above grade, such as an above ground pool, the barrier may be at ground
level, such as the pool structure, or mounted on top of the pool structure. Where the
barrier is mounted on top of the pool structure, the maximum vertical clearance between
the top of the pool structure and the bottom of the barrier should be 4 inches.
2. Openings in the barrier should not allow passage of a 4-inch diameter sphere.
3. Solid barriers, which do not have openings, such as a masonry or stone wall, should not
contain indentations or protrusions except for normal construction tolerances and tooled
masonry joints.
4. Where the barrier is composed of horizontal and vertical members and the distance
between the tops of the horizontal members is less than 45 inches, the horizontal
members should be located on the swimming pool side of the fence. Spacing between
vertical members should not exceed 1-3/4 inches in width. Where there are decorative
cutouts, spacing within the cutouts should not exceed 1-3/4 inches in width.
5. Where the barrier is composed of horizontal and vertical members and the distance
between the tops of the horizontal members is 45 inches or more, spacing between
vertical members should not exceed 4 inches. Where there are decorative cutouts,
spacing within the cutouts should not exceed 1-3/4 inches in width.
6. Maximum mesh size for chain link fences should not exceed 1-3/4 inch square unless
the fence is provided with slats fastened at the top or the bottom which reduce the
openings to no more than 1-3/4 inches.
7. Where the barrier is composed of diagonal members, such as a lattice fence, the
maximum opening formed by the diagonal members should be no more than
1-3/4 inches.
8. Access gates to the pool should comply with Section I, Paragraphs 1through 7,and
should be equipped to accommodate alocking device. Pedestrian access gates should
open outward, away from the pool, and should be self-closing and have a self-latching
device. Gates other thanpedestrian access gates should have a self-latching device.
Where therelease mechanism of the self-latching device is located less than 54 inches
from the bottom of the gate, (a) the release mechanism shouldbelocated on the pool
side of the gate at least 3 inches below the top of the gateand (b) the gate and barrier
should have no opening greater than 1/2 inchwithin18 inches of the release
mechanism.
9. Where a wall of a dwelling serves aspart of the barrier, one of the following should

apply:
(a) All doors with direct access to the pool through that wall should be equipped with an
alarm which produces an audible warning when the door and its screen, if present,
are opened. The alarm should sound continuously for a minimum of 30 seconds
within 7 seconds after the door is opened. Alarms should meet there quirements of
UL2017 General-Purpose Signaling Devices and Systems, Section 77. The alarm
should have a minimum sound pressure rating of 85 dBA at 10 feet and the sound
of the alarm should be distinctive from other household sounds, such as smoke
alarms, telephones, and door bells. The alarm should automatically reset under all
conditions. The alarm should be equipped with manual means, such as touchpads
or switches, to temporarily deactivate the alarm for a single opening of the door
from either direction. Such deactivation should last for nomore than 15 seconds.
The deactivation touchpads or switches should be located at least 54 inches above
the threshold of the door.
(b) The pool should be equipped with a power safety cover which complies with ASTM
F1346-91 listed below.
(c) Other means of protection, such as self-closing doors with self-latching devices, are
accept able so long as the degree of protection afforded is not less than the
protection afforded by (a) or (b) described above.
10. Where an aboveground pool structure is used as a barrier or where the barrier is
mounted on top of the pool structure, and the means of access is a ladder or steps,
then (a) the ladder to the pool or steps should be capable of being secured, locked or
removed to prevent access, or (b) the ladder or steps should be surrounded by a barrier
which meets Section I, Paragraphs 1 through 9. When the ladder or steps are secured,
locked, or removed,any opening created should not allow the passage of a 4-inch
diameter sphere.
Section II: Barrier Locations
Barriers should be located so as to prohibit permanent structures, equipment or similar
objects from being used to climb the barriers.
Recommendations Regarding Placement of the Pool:
Do not install the pool on a slope or inclined surfaces, on soft or loose soil conditions (such
as sand or mud), or on an elevated surface such as a deck, platform or balcony, which may
collapse under the weight of the filled pool.
• It is essential the pool is set up on solid, level ground. If the pool is set up on uneven
ground it can cause collapse of the pool and flooding, causing serious personal injury
and/or damage to personal property. Setting up on uneven ground will void the warranty
and service claims.
• Do not set pool up on driveways, decks, platforms, gravel or asphalt. Ground should be
firm enough to withstand the pressure of the water; mud, sand, soft / loose soil or tar are
not suitable.
• The ground must be cleared of all objects and debris including stones and twigs.
• Check with your local city council for by-laws relating to fencing, barriers, lighting and
safety requirements and ensure you comply with all laws.
