Keep for future reference.
Failure to follow these warnings and
instructions can result in serious injury or death to users,
especially children.
WARNING
Keep all electrical lines, radios, speakers,
and other electrical devices away from
pool. Do not place pool near or under
overhead electrical lines.
Electrocution Risk
Stay away from drains & suction fittings
WARNING
If drain or suction outlet cover is missing or broken, your hair, body,
and jewelry can get sucked into drain. You could be held under
water & drown! Do not use pool if drain or suction outlet cover is
missing or broken.
Prevent Drowning
WARNING
Children under 5 are at highest risk for drowning.
Closely watch children who are
in or near
this pool.
WARNING
You can break your neck and be
paralyzed!
No Diving
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.
Please read carefully and keep for future reference.
Installation usually takes approximately 10-20 minutes with 2-3 people excluding earthworks and filling.
