Safety Tips
This publication is not intended as a definitive guide
on pool safety. Your local Pool Dealer should be able
to advise you on a full list of safety measures that you
can carry out to minimise the risk of accidental drowning.
Pools pose a danger when they are misused; it is essential
that you lay down several common sense “ground rules”
to all pool users.
Supervision
Your pool needs to be supervised by an adult whenever
in use.
No Diving
Above Ground Pools are not designed for diving.
Safety Fencing
Your Above Ground Pool should be surrounded by some kind
of safety barrier to prevent unsupervised access to the
pool. Access should be via a lockable, self- latching
gate. There are a number of systems available. Ask your
pool dealer for the system best suited for your particular
pool.
Pool Alarm
Pool alarms should be considered as part of a security
system. Bear in mind that if there is nobody within earshot
of the alarm signal they are of little value.
Electrical Equipment
Water and electricity do not mix. Keep all electrical
equipment well away from your pool. Use a qualified Electrician
to install your equipment. Do not use domestic extension
leads near your pool. Read the Installation Manual before
connecting the electrical supply to your pools circulation
system. Any electrical equipment linked to your pool circulation
system should be fitted with an E.L.C.P. device. Never
allow any electrical items within 2 meters of the your
pool. Switch off electrical supply when your pool is being
used.
Pool Chemicals
Never mix pool chemicals together. Always
add pool chemicals to your pool water separately. Mixing
pool chemicals together before adding to your pool water
will cause a dangerous reaction.
Keep Pool Chemicals out of reach of children and pets. |
