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.

Locate pumps and filters in such a way that children cannot climb on 

them to gain access to pool.

If you have a ladder, refer to the ladder's manual for instructions.

If you have a pump, refer to the pump's manual for instructions.

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.

Electrocution Risk:

Keep all electrical lines, radios, speakers, and other electrical devices 

away from pool.

Do not place pool near or under overhead electrical lines.

Suction Risk:

Replacement pump should never exceed the maximum flow rate 

marked on the suction fitting.

Safety Barrier Guidelines for Residential Swimming Pool

Section I: Outdoor swimming 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 

aboveground 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 

1 through 7,and should be equipped to accommodate a locking 

device. Pedestrian access gates should open outward, away from 

the pool, and should be self-closing and have a self-latching 

device. Gates other than pedestrian access gates should have a 

self-latching device. Where the release mechanism of the 

self-latching device is located less than 54 inches from the bottom 

of the gate, (a) the release mechanism should be located on the 

pool side of the gate at least 3 inches below the top of the gate and 

(b) the gate and barrier should have no opening greater than 1/2 

inch within18 inches of the release mechanism.

  9. Where a wall of a dwelling serves as part 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 the 

requirements 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 no 

more 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 acceptable 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.

NOTE:

 

If your purchased pool set do not have any circulation 

system, you can purchase separately. But please make sure the 

equipment can turn over total volume of pool water no less than once 

every 12 hr. You can check the water capacity on packaging to select 

suitable circulation system. Pump provided for the circulation of water 

shall be tested by a Nationally Recognized Testing Laboratory and 

certified to conform to UL1081.

Also make sure the selected suction outlet sold with the pump should 

be tested by a Nationally Recognized Testing Laboratory and certified 

to conform to ASME/ANSI A112.19.8 or its successor standard 

ANSI/APSP-16, in order to prevent suction entrapment.

Please read carefully and keep for future reference.

CHOOSE THE CORRECT LOCATION

The surface chosen to install the pool must respect the following 

technical characteristics:

  1. Because of the combined weight of the water inside the pool and 

the pool users, it is extremely important that the surface chosen to 

install the pool is capable of uniformly supporting the total weight 

for the entire time the pool is installed. When choosing the surface, 

take into consideration that water may come out of the pool when 

in use or in the rain. If the water softens the surface, it may lose its 

capability to support the pool weight.

  2. Check regularly the position of the vertical legs and the U-supports. 

They must be on the same level as the bottom of the pool at all 

times. If the vertical leg or the U-support starts to sink into the 

ground, drain the water immediately to avoid the pool collapsing 

4

due to the uneven loading on the frame structure. Change the 

location of the pool or modify the surface material.

  3. We recommend positioning the pool away from any objects 

children could use to climb into the pool.

  4. Position the pool near an adequate drainage system to deal with 

overflow or to discharge the pool.

  5. The surface must be flat and smooth. If the surface is inclined or 

uneven, it can create an unbalanced loading on the structure of the 

pool. This situation can damage the welding point of the liner and 

bend the frame. In the worst cases, the pool can collapse, causing 

serious personal injury and/or damage to personal property.

  6. The selected surface must be clear of any type of object. Due to 

the weight of the water, any object under the pool could damage or 

perforate the bottom of the pool.

  7. The selected surface must be clear of aggressive plants and weed 

species. Those types of strong vegetation could grow through the 

liner and create water leakage. The grass or other vegetation that 

may cause odor or slime to develop have to be eliminated from the 

set-up location.

  8. The selected location must not have overhead power lines or trees. 

Be sure the location does not contain underground utility pipes, 

lines or cables of any kind.

  9. The selected position must be far from house entrance. Do not 

position any equipment or other furniture around the pool. The 

water that comes out of the pool during the use or due to a faulty 

product can damage the furniture inside the house or surrounding 

the pool.

10. The selected surface must be flat and without holes that can 

damage the material of the liner.

Follow the important instructions above to choose the correct surface 

and location to set up your pool. Damaged parts of the pool, due to the 

fact that the set-up surface and location does not match the 

instructions, will not be considered as manufacture defect and will 

avoid the warranty and any service claims.

Suggested set-up surfaces:

 grass, ground, concrete, and all other 

surfaces that respect the above set-up conditions.

Not suggested surfaces:

 mud, sand, gravel, deck, balcony, driveway, 

platform, soft/loose soil or other surface that does not meet the above 

set-up conditions.

NOTE:

 Check with your local city council for by-laws relating to 

fencing, barriers, lighting and safety requirements and ensure you 

comply with all laws.

NOTE:

 If have a filter pump, refer to the pump’s manual for 

instructions.

NOTE:

 The ladder must match the pool size and should be 

used only for entering and exiting the pool. It is forbidden to exceed the 

permitted payload of the ladder. Check regularly if the ladder is 

properly assembled.
