9) It is highly recommended that pool owners frequently test their pool water to
ensure that the pH and chlorine concentration in the water is optimal for safe and
enjoyable bathing throughout the season. Please consult your pool supply retailer
to find a suitable testing kit and instructions on its use.
10) All equipment, including pool liner, inflatable ring, hoses, drain covers, pump
body, (if included: covers, ground cloth, ladders, maintenance kit) and electrical
cords should be inspected frequently for signs of corrosion, deterioration, missing
or broken parts, or any other potential hazard.
11) Rectangular Steel Frame Pools are designed to be storable, seasonal pools. If you
live in a temperate area in which the pool will not be in use year-round, it is
STRONGLY RECOMMENDED
that you drain your pool, clean and dry it
thoroughly, and store it in a protected area for the off-season. This will help
extend the life of your pool and prevent a safety hazard from developing while the
pool is not in use.
12) All filtrations are in agreement with the installation standard NF C 15-100 that
specify that all electric appliances located within 3.50 m for the pond and with a
free access should have a low voltage supply of 12V. All electrical appliance
supplied with 220V must be located at least at 3.50 meter from the edge of the
pond. Consult the manufacturer for any change of one or several elements to the
filtration system.
13) Your children’s safety only depends on you! Risk is higher when children are
under 5 years. Accidents not only happen to other people! Be ready to face it!
14) Supervise and act:
- Children supervision should be close and constant;
- Name only one safety supervisor;
- Reinforce supervision when there are several users in the swimming pool;
- Ask for personnel safety floating equipment (for people who cannot swim);
- Teach your children to swim as early as possible;
- Get your neck, arms and legs wet before you enter the water;
- Make sure you are trained in life-saving techniques, especially those for
children;
- Forbid diving or jumping among young children;
- Forbid races and “rough playing” around the pool;
- Do not allow children who are unable to swim, to enter the pool without swim
vest or armbands, and without adult supervision;
- Do not leave toys near or in the pool with no supervision;
- Always keep the water clear and sane;
- Store the water treatment products away from children reach.
15) Always keep:
- Accessible telephone at the poolside in order not to leave the children alone
when you are on the phone;
- Buoy and pole at the poolside.
