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 

WARNING

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.

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.

See below for part descriptions.

Components list:

NOTE:

 Some parts already have been installed on the pool.

speakers, and other electrical 

devices away from pool. Do not 

place pool near or under overhead 

electrical lines.
