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 122 cm (48 in)
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 10 cm (4 in) 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 10 cm
(4 in).
2. Openings in the barrier should not allow passage of a 10 cm
(4 in) 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 114 cm (45 in), the
horizontal members should be located on the swimming
pool side of the fence. Spacing between vertical members
should not exceed 4.4 cm (1-3/4 in) in width. Where there
are decorative cutouts, spacing within the cutouts should
not exceed 4.4 cm (1-3/4 in) in width.
5. Where the barrier is composed of horizontal and vertical
members and the distance between the tops of the
horizontal members is 114 cm (45 in) or more, spacing
between vertical members should not exceed 10 cm (4 in).
Where there are decorative cutouts, spacing within the
cutouts should not exceed 4.4 cm (1-3/4 in) in width.
6. Maximum mesh size for chain link fences should not exceed
4.4 cm (1-3/4 in) square unless the fence is provided with
slats fastened at the top or the bottom which reduce the
openings to no more than 4.4 cm (1-3/4 in).
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 4.4 cm
(1-3/4 in).
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 137 cm (54 in) from the bottom
of the gate, (a) the release mechanism should be located on
the pool side of the gate at least 7.5 cm (3 in) below the top
of the gate and (b) the gate and barrier should have no
opening greater than 1.3 cm (1/2 in) within 45.7 cm (18 in)
of the release mechanism.

CHOOSE THE CORRECT
LOCATION
The surface chosen to install the pool must respect the
following technical characteristics:
1. Because of the combined weight of the water inside the
pool and the pool users, it is extremely important that the
surface chosen to install the pool is capable of uniformly
supporting the total weight for the entire time the pool is
installed. When choosing the surface, take into
consideration that water may come out of the pool when in
use or in the rain. If the water softens the surface, it may
lose its capability to support the pool weight.
2. Check regularly the position of the vertical legs and the
U-supports. They must be on the same level as the bottom
of the pool at all times. If the vertical leg or the U-support
starts to sink into the ground, drain the water immediately to
avoid the pool collapsing due to the uneven loading on the
frame structure. Change the location of the pool or modify
the surface material.
3. We recommend positioning the pool away from any objects
children could use to climb into the pool.
4. Position the pool near an adequate drainage system to deal
with overflow or to discharge the pool.
5. The surface must be flat and smooth. If the surface is
inclined or uneven, it can create an unbalanced loading on
the structure of the pool. This situation can damage the
welding point of the liner and bend the frame. In the worst
cases, the pool can collapse, causing serious personal
injury and/or damage to personal property.
6. The selected surface must be clear of any type of object.
Due to the weight of the water, any object under the pool
could damage or perforate the bottom of the pool.
7. The selected surface must be clear of aggressive plants
and weed species. Those types of strong vegetation could
grow through the liner and create water leakage. The grass
or other vegetation that may cause odor or slime to develop
have to be eliminated from the set-up location.
8. The selected location must not have overhead power lines
or trees. Be sure the location does not contain underground
utility pipes, lines or cables of any kind.
9. The selected position must be far from house entrance. Do
not position any equipment or other furniture around the
pool. The water that comes out of the pool during the use or
due to a faulty product can damage the furniture inside the
house or surrounding the pool.
10. The selected surface must be flat and without holes that can
damage the material of the liner.
Follow the important instructions above to choose the correct
surface and location to set up your pool. Damaged parts of the
pool, due to the fact that the set-up surface and location does
not match the instructions, will not be considered as

CHOOSE THE CORRECT
LOCATION
The surface chosen to install the pool must respect the
following technical characteristics:
1. Because of the combined weight of the water inside the
pool and the pool users, it is extremely important that the
surface chosen to install the pool is capable of uniformly
supporting the total weight for the entire time the pool is
installed. When choosing the surface, take into
consideration that water may come out of the pool when in
use or in the rain. If the water softens the surface, it may
lose its capability to support the pool weight.
2. Check regularly the position of the vertical legs and the
U-supports. They must be on the same level as the bottom
of the pool at all times. If the vertical leg or the U-support
starts to sink into the ground, drain the water immediately to
avoid the pool collapsing due to the uneven loading on the
frame structure. Change the location of the pool or modify
the surface material.
3. We recommend positioning the pool away from any objects
children could use to climb into the pool.
4. Position the pool near an adequate drainage system to deal
with overflow or to discharge the pool.
5. The surface must be flat and smooth. If the surface is
inclined or uneven, it can create an unbalanced loading on
the structure of the pool. This situation can damage the
welding point of the liner and bend the frame. In the worst
cases, the pool can collapse, causing serious personal
injury and/or damage to personal property.
6. The selected surface must be clear of any type of object.
Due to the weight of the water, any object under the pool
could damage or perforate the bottom of the pool.
7. The selected surface must be clear of aggressive plants
and weed species. Those types of strong vegetation could
grow through the liner and create water leakage. The grass
or other vegetation that may cause odor or slime to develop
have to be eliminated from the set-up location.
8. The selected location must not have overhead power lines
or trees. Be sure the location does not contain underground
utility pipes, lines or cables of any kind.
9. The selected position must be far from house entrance. Do
not position any equipment or other furniture around the
pool. The water that comes out of the pool during the use or
due to a faulty product can damage the furniture inside the
house or surrounding the pool.
10. The selected surface must be flat and without holes that can
damage the material of the liner.
Follow the important instructions above to choose the correct
surface and location to set up your pool. Damaged parts of the
pool, due to the fact that the set-up surface and location does
not match the instructions, will not be considered as
manufacture defect and will avoid the warranty and any service
claims.
Suggested set-up surfaces: grass, ground, concrete, and all
other surfaces that respect the above set-up conditions.
Not suggested surfaces: mud, sand, gravel, deck, balcony,
driveway, platform, soft/loose soil or other surface that does not
meet the above set-up conditions.
NOTE: Check with your local city council for by-laws
relating to fencing, barriers, lighting and safety requirements
and ensure you comply with all laws.
NOTE: If have a filter pump, refer to the pump’s manual
for instructions.
NOTE: The ladder must match the pool size and should
be used only for entering and exiting the pool. It is forbidden to
exceed the permitted payload of the ladder. Check regularly if
the ladder is properly assembled.

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 122 cm (48 in)
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 10 cm (4 in) 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 10 cm
(4 in).
2. Openings in the barrier should not allow passage of a 10 cm
(4 in) 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 114 cm (45 in), the
horizontal members should be located on the swimming
pool side of the fence. Spacing between vertical members
should not exceed 4.4 cm (1-3/4 in) in width. Where there
are decorative cutouts, spacing within the cutouts should
not exceed 4.4 cm (1-3/4 in) in width.
5. Where the barrier is composed of horizontal and vertical
members and the distance between the tops of the
horizontal members is 114 cm (45 in) or more, spacing
between vertical members should not exceed 10 cm (4 in).
Where there are decorative cutouts, spacing within the
cutouts should not exceed 4.4 cm (1-3/4 in) in width.
6. Maximum mesh size for chain link fences should not exceed
4.4 cm (1-3/4 in) square unless the fence is provided with
slats fastened at the top or the bottom which reduce the
openings to no more than 4.4 cm (1-3/4 in).
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 4.4 cm
(1-3/4 in).
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 137 cm (54 in) from the bottom
of the gate, (a) the release mechanism should be located on
the pool side of the gate at least 7.5 cm (3 in) below the top
of the gate and (b) the gate and barrier should have no
opening greater than 1.3 cm (1/2 in) within 45.7 cm (18 in)
of the release mechanism.
Do not assemble on soft lawn. If you must assemble the pool on a soft surface, timber boards
(not included) must be placed under the feet of the vertical supports to spread the load. The
thickness of the timber boards must not exceed 2 cm (0.8 in).

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 122 cm (48 in)
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 10 cm (4 in) 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 10 cm
(4 in).
2. Openings in the barrier should not allow passage of a 10 cm
(4 in) 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 114 cm (45 in), the
horizontal members should be located on the swimming
pool side of the fence. Spacing between vertical members
should not exceed 4.4 cm (1-3/4 in) in width. Where there
are decorative cutouts, spacing within the cutouts should
not exceed 4.4 cm (1-3/4 in) in width.
5. Where the barrier is composed of horizontal and vertical
members and the distance between the tops of the
horizontal members is 114 cm (45 in) or more, spacing
between vertical members should not exceed 10 cm (4 in).
Where there are decorative cutouts, spacing within the
cutouts should not exceed 4.4 cm (1-3/4 in) in width.
6. Maximum mesh size for chain link fences should not exceed
4.4 cm (1-3/4 in) square unless the fence is provided with
slats fastened at the top or the bottom which reduce the
openings to no more than 4.4 cm (1-3/4 in).
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 4.4 cm
(1-3/4 in).
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 137 cm (54 in) from the bottom
of the gate, (a) the release mechanism should be located on
the pool side of the gate at least 7.5 cm (3 in) below the top
of the gate and (b) the gate and barrier should have no
opening greater than 1.3 cm (1/2 in) within 45.7 cm (18 in)
of the release mechanism.

CHOOSE THE CORRECT
LOCATION
The surface chosen to install the pool must respect the
following technical characteristics:
1. Because of the combined weight of the water inside the
pool and the pool users, it is extremely important that the
surface chosen to install the pool is capable of uniformly
supporting the total weight for the entire time the pool is
installed. When choosing the surface, take into
consideration that water may come out of the pool when in
use or in the rain. If the water softens the surface, it may
lose its capability to support the pool weight.
2. Check regularly the position of the vertical legs and the
U-supports. They must be on the same level as the bottom
of the pool at all times. If the vertical leg or the U-support
starts to sink into the ground, drain the water immediately to
avoid the pool collapsing due to the uneven loading on the
frame structure. Change the location of the pool or modify
the surface material.
3. We recommend positioning the pool away from any objects
children could use to climb into the pool.
4. Position the pool near an adequate drainage system to deal
with overflow or to discharge the pool.
5. The surface must be flat and smooth. If the surface is
inclined or uneven, it can create an unbalanced loading on
the structure of the pool. This situation can damage the
welding point of the liner and bend the frame. In the worst
cases, the pool can collapse, causing serious personal
injury and/or damage to personal property.
6. The selected surface must be clear of any type of object.
Due to the weight of the water, any object under the pool
could damage or perforate the bottom of the pool.
7. The selected surface must be clear of aggressive plants
and weed species. Those types of strong vegetation could
grow through the liner and create water leakage. The grass
or other vegetation that may cause odor or slime to develop
have to be eliminated from the set-up location.
8. The selected location must not have overhead power lines
or trees. Be sure the location does not contain underground
utility pipes, lines or cables of any kind.
9. The selected position must be far from house entrance. Do
not position any equipment or other furniture around the
pool. The water that comes out of the pool during the use or
due to a faulty product can damage the furniture inside the
house or surrounding the pool.
10. The selected surface must be flat and without holes that can
damage the material of the liner.
Follow the important instructions above to choose the correct
surface and location to set up your pool. Damaged parts of the
pool, due to the fact that the set-up surface and location does
not match the instructions, will not be considered as
manufacture defect and will avoid the warranty and any service
claims.
Suggested set-up surfaces: grass, ground, concrete, and all
other surfaces that respect the above set-up conditions.
Not suggested surfaces: mud, sand, gravel, deck, balcony,
driveway, platform, soft/loose soil or other surface that does not
meet the above set-up conditions.
NOTE: Check with your local city council for by-laws
relating to fencing, barriers, lighting and safety requirements
and ensure you comply with all laws.
NOTE: If have a filter pump, refer to the pump’s manual
for instructions.
NOTE: The ladder must match the pool size and should
be used only for entering and exiting the pool. It is forbidden to
exceed the permitted payload of the ladder. Check regularly if
the ladder is properly assembled.

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 137 cm (54 in) 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.
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 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 10 cm (4 in)

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 137 cm (54 in) 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.
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 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 10 cm (4 in)
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.
Only for outdoor use.
Teach your children to swim.
Never dive, jump, or slide into the pool.
Adult supervision is always required.
Parents should learn CPR.
Never swim alone.
Keep all electrical radios, speakers and other appliances away
from the swimming pool.
When you touch the filter, pump, or electrical parts, be sure the
ground under your feet is “Bone Dry.”
All electrical outlets should have a GFCI and connections
should be a minimum of 152 cm (5 ft) from the outside
perimeter of the wall of the pool. From 152-305 cm (5-10 ft),
there should be either a fixed connection (outlet box) or
twistlock connection with a GFCI.
Connect power cords to a 3-wire grounding-type outlet only.
Keep all breakable objects out of the pool area.
Alcohol consumption and pool activities do not mix. Never allow
anyone to swim, dive or slide under the influence of alcohol or
drugs.
Severe electrical shock could result if you install your pump or
filter on a deck. The pump or filter could fall into the water,
causing severe shock or electrocution. Do not install on a deck or
other surface at, above, or slightly below the top rail of the pool.
Do not use the pool during severe weather conditions, i.e.
electrical storms, tornadoes, etc.
Be aware of overhead power lines when vacuuming your pool
or using a telescoping pole.
Do not allow diving, climbing, sitting, or standing on the top rails
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.
Be Prepared to Respond to an Emergency:
Keep a working phone and list of emergency numbers near
pool.
Become certified in cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) so you
can respond to an emergency.
Electrocution Risk:
Keep all electrical lines, radios, speakers, and other electrical
devices away from 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 122 cm (48 in)
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 10 cm (4 in) 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 10 cm
(4 in).
2. Openings in the barrier should not allow passage of a 10 cm
(4 in) 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 114 cm (45 in), the
horizontal members should be located on the swimming
pool side of the fence. Spacing between vertical members
should not exceed 4.4 cm (1-3/4 in) in width. Where there
are decorative cutouts, spacing within the cutouts should
not exceed 4.4 cm (1-3/4 in) in width.
5. Where the barrier is composed of horizontal and vertical
members and the distance between the tops of the
horizontal members is 114 cm (45 in) or more, spacing
between vertical members should not exceed 10 cm (4 in).
Where there are decorative cutouts, spacing within the
cutouts should not exceed 4.4 cm (1-3/4 in) in width.
6. Maximum mesh size for chain link fences should not exceed
4.4 cm (1-3/4 in) square unless the fence is provided with
slats fastened at the top or the bottom which reduce the
openings to no more than 4.4 cm (1-3/4 in).
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 4.4 cm
(1-3/4 in).
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 137 cm (54 in) from the bottom
of the gate, (a) the release mechanism should be located on
the pool side of the gate at least 7.5 cm (3 in) below the top
of the gate and (b) the gate and barrier should have no
opening greater than 1.3 cm (1/2 in) within 45.7 cm (18 in)
of the release mechanism.

CHOOSE THE CORRECT
LOCATION
The surface chosen to install the pool must respect the
following technical characteristics:
1. Because of the combined weight of the water inside the
pool and the pool users, it is extremely important that the
surface chosen to install the pool is capable of uniformly
supporting the total weight for the entire time the pool is
installed. When choosing the surface, take into
consideration that water may come out of the pool when in
use or in the rain. If the water softens the surface, it may
lose its capability to support the pool weight.
2. Check regularly the position of the vertical legs and the
U-supports. They must be on the same level as the bottom
of the pool at all times. If the vertical leg or the U-support
starts to sink into the ground, drain the water immediately to
avoid the pool collapsing due to the uneven loading on the
frame structure. Change the location of the pool or modify
the surface material.
3. We recommend positioning the pool away from any objects
children could use to climb into the pool.
4. Position the pool near an adequate drainage system to deal
with overflow or to discharge the pool.
5. The surface must be flat and smooth. If the surface is
inclined or uneven, it can create an unbalanced loading on
the structure of the pool. This situation can damage the
welding point of the liner and bend the frame. In the worst
cases, the pool can collapse, causing serious personal
injury and/or damage to personal property.
6. The selected surface must be clear of any type of object.
Due to the weight of the water, any object under the pool
could damage or perforate the bottom of the pool.
7. The selected surface must be clear of aggressive plants
and weed species. Those types of strong vegetation could
grow through the liner and create water leakage. The grass
or other vegetation that may cause odor or slime to develop
have to be eliminated from the set-up location.
8. The selected location must not have overhead power lines
or trees. Be sure the location does not contain underground
utility pipes, lines or cables of any kind.
9. The selected position must be far from house entrance. Do
not position any equipment or other furniture around the
pool. The water that comes out of the pool during the use or
due to a faulty product can damage the furniture inside the
house or surrounding the pool.
10. The selected surface must be flat and without holes that can
damage the material of the liner.
Follow the important instructions above to choose the correct
surface and location to set up your pool. Damaged parts of the
pool, due to the fact that the set-up surface and location does
not match the instructions, will not be considered as
manufacture defect and will avoid the warranty and any service
claims.
Suggested set-up surfaces: grass, ground, concrete, and all
other surfaces that respect the above set-up conditions.
Not suggested surfaces: mud, sand, gravel, deck, balcony,
driveway, platform, soft/loose soil or other surface that does not
meet the above set-up conditions.
NOTE: Check with your local city council for by-laws
relating to fencing, barriers, lighting and safety requirements
and ensure you comply with all laws.
NOTE: If have a filter pump, refer to the pump’s manual
for instructions.
NOTE: The ladder must match the pool size and should
be used only for entering and exiting the pool. It is forbidden to
exceed the permitted payload of the ladder. Check regularly if
the ladder is properly assembled.

CHOOSE THE CORRECT
LOCATION
The surface chosen to install the pool must respect the
following technical characteristics:
1. Because of the combined weight of the water inside the
pool and the pool users, it is extremely important that the
surface chosen to install the pool is capable of uniformly
supporting the total weight for the entire time the pool is
installed. When choosing the surface, take into
consideration that water may come out of the pool when in
use or in the rain. If the water softens the surface, it may
lose its capability to support the pool weight.
2. Check regularly the position of the vertical legs and the
U-supports. They must be on the same level as the bottom
of the pool at all times. If the vertical leg or the U-support
starts to sink into the ground, drain the water immediately to
avoid the pool collapsing due to the uneven loading on the
frame structure. Change the location of the pool or modify
the surface material.
3. We recommend positioning the pool away from any objects
children could use to climb into the pool.
4. Position the pool near an adequate drainage system to deal
with overflow or to discharge the pool.
5. The surface must be flat and smooth. If the surface is
inclined or uneven, it can create an unbalanced loading on
the structure of the pool. This situation can damage the
welding point of the liner and bend the frame. In the worst
cases, the pool can collapse, causing serious personal
injury and/or damage to personal property.
6. The selected surface must be clear of any type of object.
Due to the weight of the water, any object under the pool
could damage or perforate the bottom of the pool.
7. The selected surface must be clear of aggressive plants
and weed species. Those types of strong vegetation could
grow through the liner and create water leakage. The grass
or other vegetation that may cause odor or slime to develop
have to be eliminated from the set-up location.
8. The selected location must not have overhead power lines
or trees. Be sure the location does not contain underground
utility pipes, lines or cables of any kind.
9. The selected position must be far from house entrance. Do
not position any equipment or other furniture around the
pool. The water that comes out of the pool during the use or
due to a faulty product can damage the furniture inside the
house or surrounding the pool.
10. The selected surface must be flat and without holes that can
damage the material of the liner.
Follow the important instructions above to choose the correct
surface and location to set up your pool. Damaged parts of the
pool, due to the fact that the set-up surface and location does
not match the instructions, will not be considered as
INSTALLATION
Installation usually takes approximately 20-30 minutes with 2-3
people excluding earthworks and filling.
Assembly of the Frame Pool can be completed without tools. To
lengthen the life of your pool, it is important to sprinkle the top
rail with the Talcum Powder before assembly. Talcum Powder

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 122 cm (48 in)
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 10 cm (4 in) 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 10 cm
(4 in).
2. Openings in the barrier should not allow passage of a 10 cm
(4 in) 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 114 cm (45 in), the
horizontal members should be located on the swimming
pool side of the fence. Spacing between vertical members
should not exceed 4.4 cm (1-3/4 in) in width. Where there
are decorative cutouts, spacing within the cutouts should
not exceed 4.4 cm (1-3/4 in) in width.
5. Where the barrier is composed of horizontal and vertical
members and the distance between the tops of the
horizontal members is 114 cm (45 in) or more, spacing
between vertical members should not exceed 10 cm (4 in).
Where there are decorative cutouts, spacing within the
cutouts should not exceed 4.4 cm (1-3/4 in) in width.
6. Maximum mesh size for chain link fences should not exceed
4.4 cm (1-3/4 in) square unless the fence is provided with
slats fastened at the top or the bottom which reduce the
openings to no more than 4.4 cm (1-3/4 in).
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 4.4 cm
(1-3/4 in).
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 137 cm (54 in) from the bottom
of the gate, (a) the release mechanism should be located on
the pool side of the gate at least 7.5 cm (3 in) below the top
of the gate and (b) the gate and barrier should have no
opening greater than 1.3 cm (1/2 in) within 45.7 cm (18 in)
of the release mechanism.

CHOOSE THE CORRECT
LOCATION
The surface chosen to install the pool must respect the
following technical characteristics:
1. Because of the combined weight of the water inside the
pool and the pool users, it is extremely important that the
surface chosen to install the pool is capable of uniformly
supporting the total weight for the entire time the pool is
installed. When choosing the surface, take into
consideration that water may come out of the pool when in
use or in the rain. If the water softens the surface, it may
lose its capability to support the pool weight.
2. Check regularly the position of the vertical legs and the
U-supports. They must be on the same level as the bottom
of the pool at all times. If the vertical leg or the U-support
starts to sink into the ground, drain the water immediately to
avoid the pool collapsing due to the uneven loading on the
frame structure. Change the location of the pool or modify
the surface material.
3. We recommend positioning the pool away from any objects
children could use to climb into the pool.
4. Position the pool near an adequate drainage system to deal
with overflow or to discharge the pool.
5. The surface must be flat and smooth. If the surface is
inclined or uneven, it can create an unbalanced loading on
the structure of the pool. This situation can damage the
welding point of the liner and bend the frame. In the worst
cases, the pool can collapse, causing serious personal
injury and/or damage to personal property.
6. The selected surface must be clear of any type of object.
Due to the weight of the water, any object under the pool
could damage or perforate the bottom of the pool.
7. The selected surface must be clear of aggressive plants
and weed species. Those types of strong vegetation could
grow through the liner and create water leakage. The grass
or other vegetation that may cause odor or slime to develop
have to be eliminated from the set-up location.
8. The selected location must not have overhead power lines
or trees. Be sure the location does not contain underground
utility pipes, lines or cables of any kind.
9. The selected position must be far from house entrance. Do
not position any equipment or other furniture around the
pool. The water that comes out of the pool during the use or
due to a faulty product can damage the furniture inside the
house or surrounding the pool.
10. The selected surface must be flat and without holes that can
damage the material of the liner.
Follow the important instructions above to choose the correct
surface and location to set up your pool. Damaged parts of the
pool, due to the fact that the set-up surface and location does
not match the instructions, will not be considered as
IMPORTANT: Don't use granulate tablets or throw the tablet directly in the water. The chemicals can deposit on the
bottom, damage the material and discolor the PVC.
Using chemical liquid (not included):
IMPORTANT: Add chemical liquid in small doses and in the center of the pool to avoid direct contact between the
chemicals and the PVC surface. Direct contact can damage the material and discolor the surface.
NOTE: Remove the chemical dispenser from pool when the pool is in use.
IMPORTANT: After performing chemical maintenance and before using the pool, use a test kit (not included) to test the
water chemistry. We recommend maintaining your water according to the following table.
AB
CONNECTION VALVE ASSEMBLY
For pool with connection valve
NOTE: If you want to connect other pool cleaning kits to
the pool through the connection valve, disassemble the Debris
Screen from the Connector.
FILLING POOL WITH WATER
ATTENTION: Do not leave pool unattended while
filling with water.
1.
Fill the pool until the water reaches the welding line located
12 cm - 20 cm (4.7 in-7.9 in) from the top of the pool. DO NOT
OVERFILL as this could cause the pool to collapse. In times of
heavy rainfall you may need to empty some of the water to
ensure the level is correct.
2. When filling the pool is completed, check that the water is not
collecting on any side to ensure the pool is level.
IMPORTANT: If pool is not level, drain water
manufacture defect and will avoid the warranty and any service
claims.
Suggested set-up surfaces: grass, ground, concrete, and all
other surfaces that respect the above set-up conditions.
Not suggested surfaces: mud, sand, gravel, deck, balcony,
driveway, platform, soft/loose soil or other surface that does not
meet the above set-up conditions.
NOTE: Check with your local city council for by-laws
relating to fencing, barriers, lighting and safety requirements
and ensure you comply with all laws.
NOTE: If have a filter pump, refer to the pump’s manual
for instructions.
NOTE: The ladder must match the pool size and should
be used only for entering and exiting the pool. It is forbidden to
exceed the permitted payload of the ladder. Check regularly if
the ladder is properly assembled.
POOL MAINTENANCE
If you do not adhere to the maintenance guidelines below, your health might be at risk, especially that of your children.
Using chemical tablets (not included):
NOTE: Chemconnect or Chemical Floater must be used when you perform chemical maintenance with tablets. Your purchased
item may not include any of those dispensers, in this case you can purchase it by visiting our website www.bestwaycorp.com or at the
nearest pool dealer.
and re-level ground by digging out. Never attempt to move the
pool with water in it, serious personal injury or damage to the
pool may result.
WARNING: Your pool may contain a great deal of
pressure. If your pool has any bulge or uneven side then the
pool is not level, the sides may burst and the water may
discharge suddenly causing serious personal injury and/or
damage to property.

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 122 cm (48 in)
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 10 cm (4 in) 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 10 cm
(4 in).
2. Openings in the barrier should not allow passage of a 10 cm
(4 in) 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 114 cm (45 in), the
horizontal members should be located on the swimming
pool side of the fence. Spacing between vertical members
should not exceed 4.4 cm (1-3/4 in) in width. Where there
are decorative cutouts, spacing within the cutouts should
not exceed 4.4 cm (1-3/4 in) in width.
5. Where the barrier is composed of horizontal and vertical
members and the distance between the tops of the
horizontal members is 114 cm (45 in) or more, spacing
between vertical members should not exceed 10 cm (4 in).
Where there are decorative cutouts, spacing within the
cutouts should not exceed 4.4 cm (1-3/4 in) in width.
6. Maximum mesh size for chain link fences should not exceed
4.4 cm (1-3/4 in) square unless the fence is provided with
slats fastened at the top or the bottom which reduce the
openings to no more than 4.4 cm (1-3/4 in).
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 4.4 cm
(1-3/4 in).
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 137 cm (54 in) from the bottom
of the gate, (a) the release mechanism should be located on
the pool side of the gate at least 7.5 cm (3 in) below the top
of the gate and (b) the gate and barrier should have no
opening greater than 1.3 cm (1/2 in) within 45.7 cm (18 in)
of the release mechanism.

CHOOSE THE CORRECT
LOCATION
The surface chosen to install the pool must respect the
following technical characteristics:
1. Because of the combined weight of the water inside the
pool and the pool users, it is extremely important that the
surface chosen to install the pool is capable of uniformly
supporting the total weight for the entire time the pool is
installed. When choosing the surface, take into
consideration that water may come out of the pool when in
use or in the rain. If the water softens the surface, it may
lose its capability to support the pool weight.
2. Check regularly the position of the vertical legs and the
U-supports. They must be on the same level as the bottom
of the pool at all times. If the vertical leg or the U-support
starts to sink into the ground, drain the water immediately to
avoid the pool collapsing due to the uneven loading on the
frame structure. Change the location of the pool or modify
the surface material.
3. We recommend positioning the pool away from any objects
children could use to climb into the pool.
4. Position the pool near an adequate drainage system to deal
with overflow or to discharge the pool.
5. The surface must be flat and smooth. If the surface is
inclined or uneven, it can create an unbalanced loading on
the structure of the pool. This situation can damage the
welding point of the liner and bend the frame. In the worst
cases, the pool can collapse, causing serious personal
injury and/or damage to personal property.
6. The selected surface must be clear of any type of object.
Due to the weight of the water, any object under the pool
could damage or perforate the bottom of the pool.
7. The selected surface must be clear of aggressive plants
and weed species. Those types of strong vegetation could
grow through the liner and create water leakage. The grass
or other vegetation that may cause odor or slime to develop
have to be eliminated from the set-up location.
8. The selected location must not have overhead power lines
or trees. Be sure the location does not contain underground
utility pipes, lines or cables of any kind.
9. The selected position must be far from house entrance. Do
not position any equipment or other furniture around the
pool. The water that comes out of the pool during the use or
due to a faulty product can damage the furniture inside the
house or surrounding the pool.
10. The selected surface must be flat and without holes that can
damage the material of the liner.
Follow the important instructions above to choose the correct
surface and location to set up your pool. Damaged parts of the
pool, due to the fact that the set-up surface and location does
not match the instructions, will not be considered as
NOTE: Damage resulting from chemical imbalance is not covered by the warranty. Pool chemicals are potentially toxic and
should be handled with care. There are serious health risks from chemical vapors and the incorrect labeling and storage of chemical
containers. Please consult your local pool supply retailer for more information about chemical maintenance. Pay close attention to the
chemical manufacturer's instructions. Pool damage resulting from misuse of chemicals and mismanagement of pool water is not
covered by the warranty.
IMPORTANT: Over usage of chemicals can discolor the printing and all points of the pool material. It can also damage
the structure of the pool liner.
To keep your pool clean:
1. Contact your local pool supply shop for advice and purchase of chemicals and pH kits. One of the most important factors to
increase the life of the liner is to keep continuously clean and healthy water. Please strictly follow the instructions from professional
technicians for the water treatment through the use of chemicals.
2. Locate a bucket of water next to pool to clean users’ feet before entering pool.
3. Cover the pool when not in use.
4. Skim pool regularly to avoid settled dirt.
5. Check and wash the filter cartridge regularly.
6. Gently clean any scum from below the top ring with a clean cloth.
7. Please be careful in case of rain water, kindly check that the water level is not higher than the expected. If so, YOU HAVE TO
DISCHARGE THE EXCESS WATER.
8. If it rains, check that the water level is not higher than the specified level. If water exceeds the specified levels, drain the pool to the
specified level.
Proper maintenance can maximize the life of your pool.
During the season of use of the swimming pool, the filtration system must be necessarily put into service every day, enough time to
assure at least a complete renewal of the volume of water.
NOTE: The pump is used to circulate the water and to filter small particles. In order to keep your pool water clean and
hygienic, you must also add chemicals.
REPAIR
In the event of a leak, patch your pool using the underwater adhesive repair patch provided. You can find the instructions in FAQs on
the support section of our website, www.bestwaycorp.com.
DISMANTLING
1. Unscrew the drain valve cap on the outside of the pool counter clockwise and remove.
2. Connect the adaptor to the hose and put the other end of the hose in the area where you are going to drain your pool. (Check local
regulations for drainage by-laws).
3. Screw the control ring of the hose adaptor clockwise onto the drain valve. The drain valve will be open and water will start to drain
automatically.
ATTENTION: Water flow can be controlled with the control ring.
4. When draining is finished, unscrew the control ring to close the valve.
5. Disconnect the hose.
6. Screw the cap back onto the drain valve.
7. Air dry pool.
ATTENTION: Do not leave the drained pool outside.
STORAGE
1. Please remove all the accessories and spare parts of the pool and store them clean and dry.
2. Once pool is completely dry, sprinkle with talcum powder to prevent pool from sticking together, fold pool carefully. If pool is not
completely dry, mold may result and will damage the pool liner.
3. Store liner and accessories in a dry place with a moderate temperature between 5ºC / 41ºF and 38ºC / 100ºF.
4. During the rainy season, pool and accessories should be stored as per above instructions also.
5. Improper draining of the pool might cause serious personal injury and/or damage to personal property.
6.
We strongly recommend the pool is disassembled during the off season (winter months). Store in a dry location out of children’s reach.

Directives en matière de barrières de sécurité pour piscine
résidentielle
Partie I : Piscine d’extérieur
Une piscine située à l’extérieur, y compris une piscine creusée, hors
sol ou au sol, un bain chaud ou un spa doit être équipée d'une barrière
conforme aux exigences suivantes :
1. Le haut de la barrière doit se trouver au-dessus d’au moins
122 cm (48 po) du niveau mesuré sur le côté de la barrière qui ne
regarde pas la piscine. L’espace vertical maximal entre le niveau et
le bas de la barrière doit être de 10 cm (4 po), en mesurant sur le
côté de la barrière à l’opposé de la piscine. Là où le haut de la
structure de la piscine se trouve au-dessus du niveau, comme une
piscine hors sol, la barrière peut être au niveau du sol, comme la
structure de la piscine ou montée sur le haut de la structure de la
piscine. Quand la barrière est montée au-dessus de la structure de
la piscine, l'espace vertical maximal entre le haut de la structure de
la piscine et le bas de la barrière doit être de 10 cm (4 po).
2. Les ouvertures ne doivent pas permettre le passage d’une sphère
de 10 cm (4 po) de diamètre.

CHOISISSEZ UN
EMPLACEMENT CORRECT
La surface choisie pour installer la piscine doit respecter les
caractéristiques techniques suivantes :
1. En raison du poids combiné de l’eau à l’intérieur de la piscine et
des usagers de la piscine, il est extrêmement important que la
surface choisie pour installer la piscine soit capable de supporter
uniformément le poids total pendant tout le temps où la piscine
sera installée. Lorsque vous choisissez la surface, tenez compte
que de l’eau pourrait s’échapper de la piscine pendant l’utilisation
ou en cas de pluie. Si l’eau ramollit la surface, celle-ci pourrait
perdre sa capacité de soutenir le poids de la piscine.
2. Vérifiez régulièrement la position des montants verticaux et des
supports en U. Ils doivent toujours se trouver au même niveau que
le fond de la piscine. Si le montant vertical ou le support en U
commence à s’enfoncer dans le sol, vidangez immédiatement l’eau
pour éviter que la piscine s’effondre en raison d’une charge inégale
de la structure. Changez la piscine d’emplacement ou modifiez le
matériau de la surface.
3. Nous conseillons de positionner la piscine loin des objets que les
enfants pourraient utiliser pour grimper dans la piscine.
4.
Positionnez la piscine à proximité d’un système de drainage adéquat
pour faire face à un éventuel débordement ou pour vider la piscine.
5. La surface doit être plane et lisse. Si la surface est inclinée ou
irrégulière, la structure de la piscine pourrait se retrouver
déséquilibrée par la charge. Cette situation peut endommager le
point de soudure de la bâche et tordre la structure. Dans les pires
cas, la piscine peut s’effondrer, en provoquant des blessures
graves et/ou des dégâts matériels.
6. La surface choisie doit être libérée de tout type d’objet. En raison
du poids de l’eau, tout objet situé sous la piscine pourrait
endommager et trouer le fond de la piscine.
7. La surface choisie doit être libérée des plantes agressives et des
mauvaises herbes. Ces types de végétation résistante pourraient
pousser à travers la bâche et créer des fuites d’eau. L’herbe ou
toute autre végétation qui pourrait provoquer la formation d’odeurs
ou de vase doit être éliminée de l’emplacement choisi pour
l’installation.
8. Il ne doit pas y avoir de lignes de haute tension ni d’arbres
au-dessus de l’emplacement choisi. Vérifiez que l’emplacement ne
contienne pas de tuyaux, de lignes ou de câbles sous terre, quels
qu’ils soient.
9. La position choisie doit être éloignée de l’entrée de la maison. Ne
placez aucun équipement ou autre meuble autour de la piscine.
L’eau sortant de la piscine durant l’utilisation ou en raison d’un
produit défectueux peut endommager le mobilier à l’intérieur de la
maison ou autour de la piscine.
10. La surface choisie doit être plane et dépourvue de trous qui
peuvent endommager le matériau de la bâche.
Suivez les consignes importantes ci-dessus pour choisir la bonne
surface et le bon emplacement pour y installer votre piscine. Les parties
endommagées de la piscine, en raison d’une surface d’installation et
d’un emplacement ne correspondant pas aux instructions, ne seront
pas considérées comme des vices de fabrication et rendront la garantie
caduque et interdiront toute réclamation.
Surfaces d’installation conseillées :
pelouse, terre, béton et toutes
les autres surfaces qui respectent les conditions d’installation ci-dessus.
Surfaces déconseillées : boue, sable, gravier, terrasse en bois,
balcon, sortie de garage, plateforme, terre meuble/friable ou autre
surface ne correspondant pas aux conditions d'installation ci-dessus.
REMARQUE :
Adressez-vous à votre mairie pour
connaître les lois en vigueur en matière de clôtures, barrières, éclairage et
exigences de sécurité, et vérifiez que vous respectez bien toutes ces lois.
REMARQUE : Si vous avez une pompe de filtration,
reportez-vous à la notice d’instructions de la pompe.
REMARQUE : L’échelle doit être adaptée à la taille de
la piscine et ne doit être utilisée que pour entrer et sortir de la piscine.
Il est interdit de dépasser la charge admissible de l’échelle. Vérifiez
régulièrement que l’échelle soit montée correctement.

CHOISISSEZ UN
EMPLACEMENT CORRECT
La surface choisie pour installer la piscine doit respecter les
caractéristiques techniques suivantes :
1. En raison du poids combiné de l’eau à l’intérieur de la piscine et
des usagers de la piscine, il est extrêmement important que la
surface choisie pour installer la piscine soit capable de supporter
uniformément le poids total pendant tout le temps où la piscine
sera installée. Lorsque vous choisissez la surface, tenez compte
que de l’eau pourrait s’échapper de la piscine pendant l’utilisation
ou en cas de pluie. Si l’eau ramollit la surface, celle-ci pourrait
perdre sa capacité de soutenir le poids de la piscine.
2. Vérifiez régulièrement la position des montants verticaux et des
supports en U. Ils doivent toujours se trouver au même niveau que
le fond de la piscine. Si le montant vertical ou le support en U
commence à s’enfoncer dans le sol, vidangez immédiatement l’eau
pour éviter que la piscine s’effondre en raison d’une charge inégale
de la structure. Changez la piscine d’emplacement ou modifiez le
matériau de la surface.
3. Nous conseillons de positionner la piscine loin des objets que les
enfants pourraient utiliser pour grimper dans la piscine.
4.
Positionnez la piscine à proximité d’un système de drainage adéquat
pour faire face à un éventuel débordement ou pour vider la piscine.
5. La surface doit être plane et lisse. Si la surface est inclinée ou
irrégulière, la structure de la piscine pourrait se retrouver
déséquilibrée par la charge. Cette situation peut endommager le
point de soudure de la bâche et tordre la structure. Dans les pires
cas, la piscine peut s’effondrer, en provoquant des blessures
graves et/ou des dégâts matériels.
6. La surface choisie doit être libérée de tout type d’objet. En raison
du poids de l’eau, tout objet situé sous la piscine pourrait
endommager et trouer le fond de la piscine.
7. La surface choisie doit être libérée des plantes agressives et des
mauvaises herbes. Ces types de végétation résistante pourraient
pousser à travers la bâche et créer des fuites d’eau. L’herbe ou
toute autre végétation qui pourrait provoquer la formation d’odeurs
ou de vase doit être éliminée de l’emplacement choisi pour
l’installation.
8. Il ne doit pas y avoir de lignes de haute tension ni d’arbres
au-dessus de l’emplacement choisi. Vérifiez que l’emplacement ne
contienne pas de tuyaux, de lignes ou de câbles sous terre, quels
qu’ils soient.
9. La position choisie doit être éloignée de l’entrée de la maison. Ne
placez aucun équipement ou autre meuble autour de la piscine.
L’eau sortant de la piscine durant l’utilisation ou en raison d’un
produit défectueux peut endommager le mobilier à l’intérieur de la
maison ou autour de la piscine.
10. La surface choisie doit être plane et dépourvue de trous qui
peuvent endommager le matériau de la bâche.
Suivez les consignes importantes ci-dessus pour choisir la bonne
surface et le bon emplacement pour y installer votre piscine. Les parties
endommagées de la piscine, en raison d’une surface d’installation et
d’un emplacement ne correspondant pas aux instructions, ne seront
pas considérées comme des vices de fabrication et rendront la garantie
caduque et interdiront toute réclamation.
Surfaces d’installation conseillées :
pelouse, terre, béton et toutes
les autres surfaces qui respectent les conditions d’installation ci-dessus.
Surfaces déconseillées : boue, sable, gravier, terrasse en bois,
balcon, sortie de garage, plateforme, terre meuble/friable ou autre
surface ne correspondant pas aux conditions d'installation ci-dessus.
REMARQUE :
Adressez-vous à votre mairie pour
connaître les lois en vigueur en matière de clôtures, barrières, éclairage et
exigences de sécurité, et vérifiez que vous respectez bien toutes ces lois.
REMARQUE : Si vous avez une pompe de filtration,
reportez-vous à la notice d’instructions de la pompe.
REMARQUE : L’échelle doit être adaptée à la taille de
la piscine et ne doit être utilisée que pour entrer et sortir de la piscine.
Il est interdit de dépasser la charge admissible de l’échelle. Vérifiez
régulièrement que l’échelle soit montée correctement.
doit être situé sur le côté de la piscine de la porte à au moins
75 cm (3 po) en dessous du haut de la porte et (b) la porte et la
barrière ne doivent pas avoir une ouverture de plus de 1,3 cm
(1/2 po) dans les 45,7 cm (18 po) du mécanisme de déblocage.
9. Lorsque le mur d'une habitation sert de barrière, l’une des
conditions suivantes doit s'appliquer :
(a) Toutes les portes ayant un accès direct à la piscine par ce mur
doivent être équipées d’une alarme qui produit un avertissement
audible quand la porte et son écran, le cas échéant, sont ouverts.
L'alarme doit sonner en continu pendant au moins 30 secondes
dans les 7 secondes à compter de l’ouverture de la porte. Les
alarmes doivent satisfaire aux exigences de la norme UL2017
Généralités sur les systèmes et dispositifs de signalisation, Partie
77. L’alarme doit avoir un niveau de pression sonore minimum de
85 dBA à 305 cm (10 pi) et le son de l’alarme doit être différent de
tout autre son de l'habitation, comme les détecteurs de fumée, les
téléphones et les sonnettes de porte. L'alarme doit se réinitialiser
automatiquement dans toutes les conditions. L’alarme doit être
équipée d’un dispositif manuel, comme des pavés numériques ou
des interrupteurs, pour désactiver temporairement l’alarme pour
ouvrir une fois la porte de l’autre côté. Une telle désactivation doit
durer maximum 15 secondes. Les pavés tactiles ou commutateurs
de désactivation doivent être situés à au moins 137 cm (54 po)
au-dessus du seuil de la porte.
(b) La piscine doit être équipée d’une couverture électrique de
sécurité, conforme à la norme ASTM F1346-91 énumérée
ci-dessous.
(c) D’autres moyens de protection, comme des portes à fermeture
automatique avec des dispositifs de verrouillage automatique, sont
admissibles tant que le degré de protection assuré n’est pas
inférieur à celui assuré par (a) ou (b) ci-dessus.
10. Quand une structure de piscine hors sol est utilisée comme
barrière ou que la barrière est montée au-dessus de la structure de
la piscine, et que le moyen d'accès est une échelle ou des
marches, (a) l'échelle d'accès à la piscine ou les marches doivent
pouvoir être sécurisées, verrouillées ou enlevées pour empêcher
l'accès, ou (b) l'échelle ou les marches doivent être entourées
d'une barrière conforme à la Section I, Paragraphes allant de 1 à 9.
Lorsque l'échelle ou les marches sont sécurisées, verrouillées ou
retirées, toute ouverture créée ne doit pas permettre le passage
d’une balle d'un diamètre de 10 cm (4 po).
Section II : Emplacement des barrières
Les barrières doivent être situées de manière à empêcher que des
structures permanentes, un équipement ou des objets similaires ne
soient utilisés pour franchir les barrières.

vérifiez que le sol sous vos pieds soit bien sec.
Toutes les prises de courant doivent avoir un disjoncteur de fuite de
terre et les raccordements doivent se trouver à au moins 152 cm (5 pi)
du périmètre extérieur des parois de la piscine. À partir de 152-305 cm
(5-10 pi), il doit y avoir soit un raccordement fixe (boîtier de
raccordement) soit un raccordement avec verrou tournant équipé d’un
disjoncteur de fuite de terre.
Branchez les cordons électriques uniquement sur une prise de terre à
3 fils.
Tous les objets pouvant se casser doivent rester loin de la zone de la
piscine.
Ne mélangez pas consommation d’alcool et activités dans la piscine.
Ne laissez jamais personne nager, plonger ou glisser sous l’influence
d’alcool ou de drogues.
Il existe un grave risque d’électrocution si vous installez votre pompe
ou votre filtre sur une terrasse. La pompe ou le filtre pourrait tomber
dans l’eau en provoquant une électrocution ou un choc grave. Ne les
installez pas sur une terrasse ou une autre surface, au-dessus ou
légèrement en dessous du rail supérieur de la piscine.
N’utilisez pas la piscine quand les conditions météorologiques sont
mauvaises, ex. tempêtes électriques, tornades, etc.
Faites attention aux lignes de courant suspendues lorsque vous videz
votre piscine ou que vous utilisez une tige télescopique.
N’autorisez personne à plonger, grimper, s’asseoir ou se tenir sur les
rails supérieurs des piscines.
N’autorisez pas les bousculades et le chahut.
Ne faites pas d’apnée prolongée car vous pourriez vous sentir mal et

Montez ou descendez l’échelle de face.
N'autorisez qu'une seule personne à la fois sur l'échelle.
Contrôlez régulièrement tous les écrous et boulons pour être certain
que l’échelle est bien solide.
Enlevez ou sécurisez l’échelle pour éviter que quelqu’un entre dans la
piscine quand elle n’est pas utilisée.
Veuillez contacter le concessionnaire ou le fabricant de la piscine pour
obtenir des panneaux de sécurité supplémentaires si cela s’avère
nécessaire.
Adressez-vous à un professionnel de piscine certifié pour l’entretien de
la piscine.

toute prise électrique.
Toutes les prises de 125 volts, 15 et 20 A situées dans un rayon de
6 m (20 pi) de la piscine doivent être protégées par un disjoncteur de
fuite de terre. La distance de 6 m (20 pi) est mesurée en tenant
compte de la distance à vol d’oiseau la plus courte que le cordon
suivrait sans traverser un plancher, mur, plafond, porte, fenêtre ou
autre barrière permanente.
Avant d’utiliser la piscine, l’installateur doit apposer tous les panneaux
d’interdiction de plonger et tous les panneaux de sécurité
conformément à la notice d'installation afin qu'ils soient bien visibles.
Une barrière est nécessaire pour protéger contre une éventuelle
noyade et une quasi-noyade mais les barrières ne remplacent pas la
surveillance constante des enfants.
Il faut préparer une liste des numéros de téléphone de secours,
comme le poste de police le plus proche, les pompiers, l’ambulance
et/ou une unité de sauvetage. Ces numéros doivent se trouver à côté
du téléphone le plus proche de la piscine.
Les jouets, chaises, tables ou objets similaires sur lesquels un enfant
en bas âge pourrait monter doivent se trouver à au moins
121 cm (4 pi) de la piscine.
Si l’installateur utilise une terrasse, celle-ci doit être conforme à la

CHOISISSEZ UN
EMPLACEMENT CORRECT
La surface choisie pour installer la piscine doit respecter les
caractéristiques techniques suivantes :
1. En raison du poids combiné de l’eau à l’intérieur de la piscine et
des usagers de la piscine, il est extrêmement important que la
surface choisie pour installer la piscine soit capable de supporter
uniformément le poids total pendant tout le temps où la piscine
sera installée. Lorsque vous choisissez la surface, tenez compte
que de l’eau pourrait s’échapper de la piscine pendant l’utilisation
ou en cas de pluie. Si l’eau ramollit la surface, celle-ci pourrait
perdre sa capacité de soutenir le poids de la piscine.
2. Vérifiez régulièrement la position des montants verticaux et des
supports en U. Ils doivent toujours se trouver au même niveau que
le fond de la piscine. Si le montant vertical ou le support en U
commence à s’enfoncer dans le sol, vidangez immédiatement l’eau
pour éviter que la piscine s’effondre en raison d’une charge inégale
de la structure. Changez la piscine d’emplacement ou modifiez le
matériau de la surface.
3. Nous conseillons de positionner la piscine loin des objets que les
enfants pourraient utiliser pour grimper dans la piscine.
4.
Positionnez la piscine à proximité d’un système de drainage adéquat
pour faire face à un éventuel débordement ou pour vider la piscine.
5. La surface doit être plane et lisse. Si la surface est inclinée ou
irrégulière, la structure de la piscine pourrait se retrouver
déséquilibrée par la charge. Cette situation peut endommager le
point de soudure de la bâche et tordre la structure. Dans les pires
cas, la piscine peut s’effondrer, en provoquant des blessures
graves et/ou des dégâts matériels.
6. La surface choisie doit être libérée de tout type d’objet. En raison
du poids de l’eau, tout objet situé sous la piscine pourrait
endommager et trouer le fond de la piscine.
7. La surface choisie doit être libérée des plantes agressives et des
mauvaises herbes. Ces types de végétation résistante pourraient
pousser à travers la bâche et créer des fuites d’eau. L’herbe ou
toute autre végétation qui pourrait provoquer la formation d’odeurs
ou de vase doit être éliminée de l’emplacement choisi pour
l’installation.
8. Il ne doit pas y avoir de lignes de haute tension ni d’arbres
au-dessus de l’emplacement choisi. Vérifiez que l’emplacement ne
contienne pas de tuyaux, de lignes ou de câbles sous terre, quels
qu’ils soient.
9. La position choisie doit être éloignée de l’entrée de la maison. Ne
placez aucun équipement ou autre meuble autour de la piscine.
L’eau sortant de la piscine durant l’utilisation ou en raison d’un
produit défectueux peut endommager le mobilier à l’intérieur de la
maison ou autour de la piscine.
10. La surface choisie doit être plane et dépourvue de trous qui
peuvent endommager le matériau de la bâche.
Suivez les consignes importantes ci-dessus pour choisir la bonne
surface et le bon emplacement pour y installer votre piscine. Les parties
endommagées de la piscine, en raison d’une surface d’installation et
d’un emplacement ne correspondant pas aux instructions, ne seront
pas considérées comme des vices de fabrication et rendront la garantie
caduque et interdiront toute réclamation.
Surfaces d’installation conseillées :
pelouse, terre, béton et toutes
les autres surfaces qui respectent les conditions d’installation ci-dessus.
Surfaces déconseillées : boue, sable, gravier, terrasse en bois,
balcon, sortie de garage, plateforme, terre meuble/friable ou autre
surface ne correspondant pas aux conditions d'installation ci-dessus.
REMARQUE :
Adressez-vous à votre mairie pour
connaître les lois en vigueur en matière de clôtures, barrières, éclairage et
exigences de sécurité, et vérifiez que vous respectez bien toutes ces lois.
REMARQUE : Si vous avez une pompe de filtration,
reportez-vous à la notice d’instructions de la pompe.
REMARQUE : L’échelle doit être adaptée à la taille de
la piscine et ne doit être utilisée que pour entrer et sortir de la piscine.
Il est interdit de dépasser la charge admissible de l’échelle. Vérifiez
régulièrement que l’échelle soit montée correctement.

MONTAGE DE LA VANNE DE
COMMUNICATION
Pour les piscines avec vanne de communication.
REMARQUE : Si vous souhaitez raccorder
d’autres kits de nettoyage de piscine à la piscine au moyen de
la vanne de communication, démontez la grille du connecteur.
REMPLIR D’EAU LA PISCINE
ATTENTION : Ne laissez pas la piscine sans
surveillance quand vous la remplissez d’eau.
1. Remplissez la piscine jusqu’à ce que l’eau atteigne la ligne
de soudure située entre 12 cm et 20 cm (4,7 po - 7,9 po) du
haut de la piscine. NE PAS TROP LA REMPLIR, car la
piscine pourrait s’effondrer. En cas de fortes pluies, vous
devrez peut-être vider une partie de l’eau pour vous assurer
que le niveau est correct.
2. Lorsque le remplissage de la piscine est achevé, contrôlez
que l’eau ne se rassemble pas d’un côté pour s’assurer que
la piscine est bien nivelée.
IMPORTANT : Si la piscine n’est pas nivelée,
enlevez l’eau et nivelez de nouveau le sol en le creusant.
N’essayez jamais de déplacer la piscine avec de l’eau à
l’intérieur, cela pourrait provoquer de graves blessures ou
endommager la piscine.
ATTENTION : Votre piscine peut contenir une
forte pression. Si votre piscine présente des renflements ou
un côté non uniforme, alors elle n’est pas nivelée; les côtés
pourraient éclater et l’eau se déverser brusquement en
provoquant des blessures et/ou des dommages aux biens.
3. Vérifiez que la piscine ne présente aucune fuite au niveau
des valves ou des coutures, contrôlez qu’il n’y ait aucune
perte d’eau visible. N’ajoutez aucun produit chimique tant que
cela n’a pas été fait.
IMPORTANT : Après avoir effectué le traitement chimique et avant d’utiliser la piscine, servez-vous d’un kit d’essai
(non fourni avec) pour tester les propriétés chimiques de l’eau. Nous recommandons de maintenir l’eau conformément au tableau
suivant.

Directrices sobre barreras de seguridad para piscinas
residenciales
Sección I: Piscinas exteriores
Una piscina exterior, incluyendo las piscinas enterradas, elevadas o de
superficie, los hidromasajes o los jacuzzi, debe estar equipada con
una barrera que cumpla con las siguientes características:
1. La parte superior de la barrera debe ser de 122 cm (48 in) sobre el
nivel del suelo medidas a partir del lado de la barrera que no da a
la piscina. El espacio máximo vertical entre el suelo y la parte
inferior de la barrera debe ser de 10 cm (4 in) medidas a partir del
lado de la barrera que da la espalda a la piscina. Si la parte
superior de la estructura de la piscina se encuentra por encima del
nivel del suelo, como en el caso de las piscinas elevadas, la
barrera debe estar al nivel del suelo, como la estructura de la
piscina, o montada en la parte superior de la estructura de la
piscina. Si la barrera está montada en la parte superior de la
estructura de la piscina, el espacio máximo vertical entre la parte
superior de la estructura de la piscina y la parte inferior de la
barrera debe ser de 10 cm (4 in).
2. Las aperturas en la barrera no deben superar las 10 cm (4 in) de
diámetro.
3. Las barreras sin aperturas, como los muros de piedra o de
mampostería, no deberían presentar hendiduras o protuberancias,
excepto por razones de construcción o juntas de albañilería.
4. Si la barrera se compone tanto de partes verticales como
horizontales y la distancia entre las partes superiores de las partes
horizontales es inferior a 114 cm (45 in) las partes horizontales
deben colocarse en el lado de la valla que da a la piscina. El
espacio entre las partes verticales no debe exceder las 4.4 cm
(1-3/4 in) de ancho. Si hay aperturas decorativas, el espacio de
estas no debe exceder las 4.4 cm (1-3/4 in) de ancho.
5. Si la barrera se compone tanto de partes verticales como
horizontales y la distancia entre las partes superiores de las partes
horizontales es igual o superior a 114 cm (45 in) el espacio entre
las partes verticales no debe exceder las 10 cm (4 in). Si hay
aperturas decorativas, el espacio de estas no debe exceder las
4.4 cm (1-3/4 in) de ancho.
6. El espacio máximo de la malla de las vallas de red no debe
exceder las 4.4 cm (1-3/4 in) cuadradas, a menos que la valla
cuente con listones asegurados a la parte superior o inferior, lo que
reduce las aperturas a no más de 4.4 cm (1-3/4 in).
7. Si la barrera está compuesta por partes diagonales, como en el
caso de enrejados, la apertura máxima creada por las partes
diagonales no debe superar las 4.4 cm (1-3/4 in).
8. Las puertas de acceso a la piscina deben ser conformes a la
Sección I, párrafos del 1 al 7, y deben estar equipadas para poder
alojar un dispositivo de cierre. Las puertas de acceso a pie deben
abrirse hacia afuera, lejos de la piscina, y deben tener un sistema
de cierre y un dispositivo de bloqueo. Las otras puertas de acceso
deben contar con un dispositivo de cierre con bloqueo automático.
Si el mecanismo de apertura del dispositivo de cierre con bloqueo
automático está colocado a menos de 137 cm (54 in) de la parte
inferior de la puerta, (a) el mecanismo de apertura debe colocarse
en el lado de la puerta que da a la piscina por lo menos 7.5 cm
(3 in) por debajo de la parte superior de la puerta y (b) la puerta y
la barrera no deben tener una apertura que supere la 1.3 cm
(1/2 in) en un diámetro de 45.7 cm (18 in) alrededor del
mecanismo de apertura.
9. Si se utiliza una de las paredes de una vivienda como parte de la
barrera:
(a) Todas las puertas con acceso directo a la piscina a través de
esta pared deben equiparse con una alarma que produzca un
aviso audible cuando la puerta y su pantalla, si la hubiera, se
abren. La alarma debe sonar de manera continua durante por lo
menos 30 segundos en los 7 segundos posteriores a la apertura
de la puerta. Las alarmas deben cumplir los requisitos de la norma
UL2017 General-Purpose Signaling Devices and Systems, Sección
77. La alarma debe tener un nivel de presión acústica de 85 dBA a
305 cm (10 ft), y el sonido de la alarma debe ser claramente
diferente al de otros sonidos domésticos, como alarmas de humos,
teléfonos y timbres. La alarma debe restablecerse
automáticamente en cualquier circunstancia. La alarma debe
contar con medios manuales, como teclados táctiles o
interruptores, para poder desactivar la alarma en caso de una
apertura aislada de la puerta en cualquier dirección. Esta
desactivación no debe durar más de 15 segundos. Los
interruptores o teclados para desactivar la alarma deben colocarse
por lo menos a 137 cm (54 in) por encima del umbral de la puerta.
(b) La piscina debe estar equipada con una cubierta de seguridad
que cumpla con las normativas ASTM F1346-91 señaladas más
abajo.
(c) Otras medidas de protección, como las puertas con cierre
automático con dispositivos de bloqueo automático, son
aceptables siempre que el nivel de protección proporcionado no

SELECCIONE LA UBICACIÓN
CORRECTA
La superficie elegida para instalar la piscina debe respetar las
siguientes características técnicas:
1. Debido al peso combinado del agua del interior de la piscina y los
usuarios de la misma, es extremadamente importante que la
superficie elegida para instalar la piscina sea capaz de soportar
uniformemente el peso total durante todo el tiempo que la piscina
esté instalada. Al elegir la superficie, tenga en cuenta que el agua
puede salir de la piscina, cuando está en uso o bajo la lluvia. Si el
agua ablanda la superficie, puede perder su capacidad para
soportar el peso de la piscina.
2. Compruebe periódicamente la posición de las patas verticales y
los soportes en forma de U. Deben permanecer al mismo nivel que
el fondo de la piscina en todo momento. Si la pata vertical o el
soporte en forma de U comienza a hundirse en el suelo, drene el
agua inmediatamente para evitar que la piscina se derrumbe
debido a una carga desigual soportada por la estructura tubular.
Cambie la ubicación de la piscina o modifique el material de la
superficie.
3. Recomendamos colocar la piscina lejos de cualquier objeto que los
niños puedan usar para meterse en la piscina.
4. Coloque la piscina cerca de un sistema de drenaje adecuado para
hacer frente al desbordamiento o para vaciar la piscina.
5. La superficie debe ser plana y lisa. Si la superficie está inclinada o
irregular, puede crear una carga desequilibrada en la estructura de
la piscina. Esta situación puede dañar el punto de soldadura del
liner y doblar la estructura. En el peor de los casos, la piscina
puede colapsar, causando lesiones personales graves y / o daños
a la propiedad.
6. La superficie seleccionada debe estar libre de cualquier tipo de
objeto. Debido al peso del agua, cualquier objeto debajo de la
piscina podría dañar o perforar el fondo de la piscina.
7. La superficie seleccionada debe estar libre de plantas agresivas y
especies de malezas. Ese tipo de vegetación fuerte podría crecer
a través del revestimiento y crear fugas de agua. La hierba u otra
vegetación que pueda causar la formación de olores o lodos
deben eliminarse del lugar de instalación.
8. La ubicación seleccionada no debe tener líneas eléctricas aéreas
ni árboles. Asegúrese de que la ubicación no contenga tuberías,
líneas o cables subterráneos de servicios públicos de ningún tipo.
9. La posición seleccionada debe estar lejos de la entrada de la casa.
No coloque ningún equipo u otro mobiliario alrededor de la piscina.
El agua que sale de la piscina durante el uso o por efecto de un
producto defectuoso puede dañar los muebles del interior de la
casa o del entorno de la piscina.
10. La superficie seleccionada debe ser plana y sin agujeros que
puedan dañar el material del liner.
Siga las importantes instrucciones anteriores para elegir la superficie y
la ubicación correctas para configurar su piscina. Las piezas que
puedan dañarse de la piscina, debido a que la superficie de montaje y
la ubicación no coinciden con las instrucciones, no se considerarán

debidamente cualificado.
Cualquier equipo conectado a los sistemas de circulación debe
posicionarse de tal forma que se evite su uso como medio para que
los niños accedan a la piscina.
La instalación debe ajustarse a los códigos de la autoridad competente
y es posible que exija la solicitud de licencias de construcción, trabajos
de fontanería o electricidad, delimitación de zonas, etc.
Se debe situar la piscina a una distancia mínima de 183 cm (6 ft) de
cualquier receptáculo eléctrico.
Todos los receptáculos de 125 V 15 A y 20 A situados dentro de un
radio de 6 m (20 ft) de la piscina deben protegerse con un interruptor
del circuito de fallos de conexión a tierra (GFCI). La distancia del radio
6 m (20 ft) se mide a partir de la línea recta más corta que seguiría el
cable de alimentación sin tener que agujerear el suelo, la pared, el
techo, puertas, ventanas u otras barreras permanentes.
Antes de utilizar la piscina, el instalador deberá colocar todas las
señales de seguridad y de prohibición de tirarse de cabeza, de
conformidad con las instrucciones de instalación, de tal forma que
sean perfectamente visibles.
Para ofrecer protección frente a posibles ahogamientos o accidentes
similares, debe colocarse una barrera y dicha barrera no podrá
sustituir la supervisión permanente de los niños.
Debe tenerse a mano una lista con los teléfonos de los servicios de
emergencia ordenada según la unidad de policía, bomberos,
ambulancias y/ o servicios de rescate más cercanos. Estos números
deben ubicarse cerca del teléfono más cercano a la piscina.
Todos aquellos juguetes, sillas, mesas u objetos similares que los
niños pequeños puedan utilizar para subirse o escalar deben
encontrarse a una distancia mínima de 121 cm (4 ft) de la piscina.

la piscina o de 15.2 m (50 ft), cualquiera que sea el largo inferior,
correctamente atada a un salvavidas homologado por la Guardia
Costera o un dispositivo de flotación homologado de similares
características.
La cubierta de la piscina no constituye una barrera de seguridad.
Si se va a usar la piscina durante la noche, utilice iluminación artificial
para iluminar las señales de seguridad, las escalerillas, los escalones,
las superficies y las pasarelas de la plataforma.
La piscina está sujeta a desgaste y deterioro.
Si no se realiza el mantenimiento adecuado, un deterioro excesivo o
acelerado podría provocar un fallo en la estructura de la piscina que, a
su vez, provoque la salida de grandes volúmenes de agua con el
consiguiente riesgo de daños personales y materiales.
El fondo de la piscina debe ser visible en todo momento desde el
perímetro exterior de la piscina.
El instalador del revestimiento de vinilo debe colocar sobre el
revestimiento original o de sustitución o sobre la estructura de la

Directrices sobre barreras de seguridad para piscinas
residenciales
Sección I: Piscinas exteriores
Una piscina exterior, incluyendo las piscinas enterradas, elevadas o de
superficie, los hidromasajes o los jacuzzi, debe estar equipada con
una barrera que cumpla con las siguientes características:
1. La parte superior de la barrera debe ser de 122 cm (48 in) sobre el
nivel del suelo medidas a partir del lado de la barrera que no da a
la piscina. El espacio máximo vertical entre el suelo y la parte
inferior de la barrera debe ser de 10 cm (4 in) medidas a partir del
lado de la barrera que da la espalda a la piscina. Si la parte
superior de la estructura de la piscina se encuentra por encima del
nivel del suelo, como en el caso de las piscinas elevadas, la
barrera debe estar al nivel del suelo, como la estructura de la
piscina, o montada en la parte superior de la estructura de la
piscina. Si la barrera está montada en la parte superior de la
estructura de la piscina, el espacio máximo vertical entre la parte
superior de la estructura de la piscina y la parte inferior de la
barrera debe ser de 10 cm (4 in).
2. Las aperturas en la barrera no deben superar las 10 cm (4 in) de
diámetro.
3. Las barreras sin aperturas, como los muros de piedra o de
mampostería, no deberían presentar hendiduras o protuberancias,
excepto por razones de construcción o juntas de albañilería.
4. Si la barrera se compone tanto de partes verticales como
horizontales y la distancia entre las partes superiores de las partes
horizontales es inferior a 114 cm (45 in) las partes horizontales
deben colocarse en el lado de la valla que da a la piscina. El
espacio entre las partes verticales no debe exceder las 4.4 cm
(1-3/4 in) de ancho. Si hay aperturas decorativas, el espacio de
estas no debe exceder las 4.4 cm (1-3/4 in) de ancho.
5. Si la barrera se compone tanto de partes verticales como
horizontales y la distancia entre las partes superiores de las partes
horizontales es igual o superior a 114 cm (45 in) el espacio entre
las partes verticales no debe exceder las 10 cm (4 in). Si hay
aperturas decorativas, el espacio de estas no debe exceder las
4.4 cm (1-3/4 in) de ancho.
6. El espacio máximo de la malla de las vallas de red no debe
exceder las 4.4 cm (1-3/4 in) cuadradas, a menos que la valla
cuente con listones asegurados a la parte superior o inferior, lo que
reduce las aperturas a no más de 4.4 cm (1-3/4 in).
7. Si la barrera está compuesta por partes diagonales, como en el
caso de enrejados, la apertura máxima creada por las partes
diagonales no debe superar las 4.4 cm (1-3/4 in).
8. Las puertas de acceso a la piscina deben ser conformes a la
Sección I, párrafos del 1 al 7, y deben estar equipadas para poder
alojar un dispositivo de cierre. Las puertas de acceso a pie deben

automático está colocado a menos de 137 cm (54 in) de la parte
inferior de la puerta, (a) el mecanismo de apertura debe colocarse
en el lado de la puerta que da a la piscina por lo menos 7.5 cm
(3 in) por debajo de la parte superior de la puerta y (b) la puerta y
la barrera no deben tener una apertura que supere la 1.3 cm
(1/2 in) en un diámetro de 45.7 cm (18 in) alrededor del
mecanismo de apertura.
9. Si se utiliza una de las paredes de una vivienda como parte de la
barrera:
(a) Todas las puertas con acceso directo a la piscina a través de
esta pared deben equiparse con una alarma que produzca un
aviso audible cuando la puerta y su pantalla, si la hubiera, se
abren. La alarma debe sonar de manera continua durante por lo
menos 30 segundos en los 7 segundos posteriores a la apertura
de la puerta. Las alarmas deben cumplir los requisitos de la norma
UL2017 General-Purpose Signaling Devices and Systems, Sección
77. La alarma debe tener un nivel de presión acústica de 85 dBA a
305 cm (10 ft), y el sonido de la alarma debe ser claramente
diferente al de otros sonidos domésticos, como alarmas de humos,
teléfonos y timbres. La alarma debe restablecerse
automáticamente en cualquier circunstancia. La alarma debe
contar con medios manuales, como teclados táctiles o
interruptores, para poder desactivar la alarma en caso de una
apertura aislada de la puerta en cualquier dirección. Esta
desactivación no debe durar más de 15 segundos. Los
interruptores o teclados para desactivar la alarma deben colocarse
por lo menos a 137 cm (54 in) por encima del umbral de la puerta.
