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:
Do not install the pool on a slope or inclined surfaces, on soft or
loose soil conditions (such as sand or mud), or on an elevated
surface such as a deck, platform or balcony, which may collapse
under the weight of the filled 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.

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.
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.
Prevent Young Children From Gaining Access to Pool:

• 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 away from the pool.
• Do not place pool near or under overhead electrical lines.

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
WARNING
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 1through 7,and should be equipped to
accommodate alocking 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 aspart 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 there quirements 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
