IMPORTANT SAFETY RULES (continued)
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 UL 2017 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. When the ladder or steps are secured,
locked, or removed, any opening created should not allow the passage of a
4-inch diameter sphere.
Barriers should be located so as to prohibit permanent structures, equipment
or similar objects from being used to climb the barriers.
IMPORTANT
Before allowing anyone to use the pool, hold a family meeting. Establish
a set of rules that include, at a minimum, the important safety rules and
general aquatic safety information in this manual. Review these rules on
a regular basis and with all users of the pool, including guests.
The installer of the vinyl liner shall affix on the original or replacement
liner, or on the pool structure, all safety signs in accordance with the
manufacturer’s instructions. The safety signs shall be placed above the
water line.
