OWNER’S MANUAL
• Children, especially children younger than 5 years, are at high risk of drowning.
• Drowning occurs silently and quickly and can occur in as little as 2 in. of water.
• Keep children in your direct sight, stay close, and actively supervise them when
they are in or near this pool and when you are filling and emptying this pool.
• When searching for a missing child, check the pool first, even if child is thought
to be in the house.
• Empty pool completely after each use and store the empty pool in such a way
that it does not collect water from rain or any other source.
• Pool and accessories should only be assembled by competent adults.
• Do not straddle, sit, lean over or put pressure onto the top rail, doing so could
result in collapse of the pool and flooding, causing serious personal injury
and/or damage to personal property.
• Store chemicals and accessories out of the reach of children.
• Household pets should be kept clear of pool area to avoid structural damage to
pool.
• Under no circumstances should this equipment replace an adult’s nearby
supervision.
• Properly maintain your pool in order to increase life span and safe use.
• Always keep the pool clean and clear. The bottom of the pool shall be visible at
all times from the outside perimeter of the pool.
• All equipment should be inspected frequently to detect and avoid deterioration,
corrosion, broken parts or other hazards, which may cause injury.
• Remember to reapply sunscreen protection regularly and always after
swimming.
Drowning Risk:
• Keep unsupervised children from accessing the pool by installing fencing or
other approved barrier around all sides of the pool. State or local laws or codes
may require fencing or other approved barriers. Check state or local laws and
codes before setting up the pool. Refer to the list of barrier recommendations
and guidelines as described in CPSC Publication No.362.
• Do not leave toys inside pool when finished using, since toys and similar items
might attract a child to the pool.
• Position furniture (for example, tables, chairs) away from pool and so that
children cannot climb on it to gain access to the pool.
• After using the pool, remove water to a level of 1/2 in. or less.
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 not
specifically designed for pool use away from the pool.
• Do not place pool near or under overhead electrical lines.
First Aid:
• Keep a working phone and a list of emergency numbers near the pool.
• Become certified in cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). In the event of an
emergency, immediate use of CPR can make a life-saving difference.
• Learn the necessary rescue operations, especially those relating to rescuing
children.

Safety Barrier Guidelines for Residential Swimming Pool
An outdoor swimming pool, including an in ground, aboveground, or on ground 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 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 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:
• 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.
