Children under 5 are at highest risk for drowning.
Closely watch children who are in or near this pool.
WARNING
No Diving
You can break your neck and be
paralyzed!
WARNING
Stay away from drains & suction fittings
If drain or suction outlet cover is missing or broken, your hair, body, and
jewelry can get sucked into drain. You could be held under water & drown!
Do not use pool if drain or suction outlet cover is missing or broken.
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.
Locate pumps and filters in such a way that children cannot climb on
them to gain access to pool.
If you have a ladder, refer to the ladder's manual for instructions.
If you have a pump, refer to the pump's manual for instructions.
Prevent Young Children From Gaining Access to Pool:
Remove pool ladders before leaving pool. Toddlers can climb ladder
and get into pool.
Position furniture away from pool so that children cannot climb and
gain access to pool.
When leaving pool, remove floats and toys from pool that might attract
a child.

Replacement pump should never exceed the maximum flow rate
marked on the suction fitting.
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 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 aboveground 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 within 18 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 acceptable so long as the degree of
protection afforded is not less than the protection afforded by (a)
or (b) described above.
