WARNINGS & SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS (CONTINUED)
Swimming Pool Awareness (Continued)
7.
Call for emergency if needed.
8.
Basic lifesaving equipment, including one of the following, should be on hand at all times:
• A light, strong, rigid pole (shepherd’s crook) not less than 12’ [3.66 m] long.
• A ¼” [6.35 mm] diameter rope as long as one and one half (1 ½) times the maximum width of
the pool or 50’ [15.24 m], whichever is less, which has been firmly attached to a Coast Guard-
approved ring buoy having an outside diameter of approximately 15” [38.1 cm], or similarly
approved flotation device.
9.
The pool is subject to wear and deterioration. If not maintained properly, certain types of excessive
or accelerated deterioration can lead to a failure of the pool structure that might release large
quantities of water that could cause bodily harm and property damage.
10.
Never allow fooling around, diving, or jumping into or around the pool. This could lead to serious
injury, paralysis or death.
DO NOT ALLOW
anyone to swim alone without supervision.
Circulation Systems
1.
Follow all written instructions regarding positioning of all equipment connected to the circulation
systems and operating the components.
2.
Circulation equipment should be installed per manufacturer’s instructions to provide proper
mounting and support, to prevent damage from misalignment, settlement, and vibration, and
to minimise the potential for the accumulation of debris and moisture. Please refer to pump’s
instruction manual.
3.
A replacement pump should never exceed the maximum flow rate marked on the suction fitting.
Pool Cover
Pool covers used for safety barriers shall comply with the latest published edition of ASTM F-1346,
Standard performance specifications for safety covers and labeling requirements for all covers for
swimming pools, spas, and hot tubs.
Chemicals
The user must properly maintain pool water clarity at all times. Check the pH and chlorine levels
periodically, and make sure they are within the recommended limits. Additional water treatment
chemicals might be needed from time to time. Have the water sample tested by a local pool supply
store to determine if additional chemicals are needed. It is recommended to turn on the pump for 4-6
hours daily to keep pool water clean. Clean and replace filter cartridge frequently. Replace only with
genuine BlueWave
®
branded filter cartridges. Refer to the Filter Pump manual for additional water
care information.
Risk of Entrapment
1.
Entrapment Avoidance: There shall be no protrusions or obstruction in the swimming area, which
may cause entrapment or entanglement of the user. If a suction outlet cover is missing or broken,
do not use the pool. Suction can cause body part entrapment, hair and jewelry entanglement,
evisceration, or drowning. Repair or replace the suction outlet cover before allowing the pool to be
used.
2.
Never play or swim near drains or suction fittings. Your body or hair may be trapped, causing
permanent injury or drowning.
