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.

from any electrical receptacle.

All 125 volt, 15 and 20 ampere receptacles located within 6 m

(20 ft) of the pool shall be protected by a ground fault circuit

interrupter (GFCI). The 6 m (20 ft) distance is measured via the

shortest straight line distance the supply cord would follow

without piercing a floor, wall, ceiling, doorway, window, or other

permanent barrier.

Prior to use of the pool, the installer shall affix all no diving

signs and safety signs in accordance with installation

instructions so they can be easily visible.

A barrier is necessary to provide protection against potential

drowning and near drowning and that barriers are not a

substitute for the constant supervision of children.

A list of emergency telephone numbers shall be posted, such

as the nearest available police, fire, ambulance, and/or rescue

unit. These numbers are to be kept near the telephone that is

closest to the pool.

the pool or 15.2 m (50 ft), whichever is less, which has been

firmly attached to a Coast Guard-approved ring buoy, or a

similarly approved flotation devices.

The swimming pool cover is not designated as a safety barrier.

Please use artificial lighting during nighttime pool use, to

illuminate all safety signs, ladders, steps, deck surfaces and

walks.

The pool is subject to wear and deterioration.

If not maintained properly, certain types of excessive or

accelerated deterioration can lead to failure of the pool structure

that might release large quantities of water that could cause

bodily harm and property damage.

The bottom of the pool shall be visible at all times from the

outside perimeter of the pool.

The installer of the vinyl liner shall affix on the original or

replacement liner, or on the pool structure, all safety signs in

accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.

If you have a filter pump, refer to the pump’s manual for

instructions.

The ladder shall be located on a solid base and the ladder shall

be installed per the ladder’s instructions.

Publications are available that describe the risk of drowning,

entrapment, and diving accidents.

Available publications related to pool safety include the

Association of Pool and Spa Professionals’ (APSP) booklets

entitled: The Sensible Way to Enjoy Your

Aboveground/Onground Swimming Pool, Children Aren’t

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)

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.

The pool shall be located a minimum distance of 183 cm (6 ft)

from any electrical receptacle.

All 125 volt, 15 and 20 ampere receptacles located within 6 m

(20 ft) of the pool shall be protected by a ground fault circuit

interrupter (GFCI). The 6 m (20 ft) distance is measured via the

shortest straight line distance the supply cord would follow

without piercing a floor, wall, ceiling, doorway, window, or other

permanent barrier.

Prior to use of the pool, the installer shall affix all no diving

signs and safety signs in accordance with installation

instructions so they can be easily visible.

A barrier is necessary to provide protection against potential

drowning and near drowning and that barriers are not a

substitute for the constant supervision of children.

A list of emergency telephone numbers shall be posted, such

as the nearest available police, fire, ambulance, and/or rescue

unit. These numbers are to be kept near the telephone that is

closest to the pool.

Toys, chairs, tables, or similar objects that a young child could

climb shall be at least 121 cm (4 ft) from the pool.

If deck is used by the installer, it will need to comply with

APSP-8.

be on hand at all times: a. A light, strong, rigid pole (shepherd’s

crook) not less than 366 cm (12 ft) long. b. A minimum 6 mm

(¼ in) diameter rope as long as 1½ times the maximum width of

the pool or 15.2 m (50 ft), whichever is less, which has been

firmly attached to a Coast Guard-approved ring buoy, or a

similarly approved flotation devices.

The swimming pool cover is not designated as a safety barrier.

Please use artificial lighting during nighttime pool use, to

illuminate all safety signs, ladders, steps, deck surfaces and

walks.

The pool is subject to wear and deterioration.

If not maintained properly, certain types of excessive or

accelerated deterioration can lead to failure of the pool structure

that might release large quantities of water that could cause

bodily harm and property damage.

The bottom of the pool shall be visible at all times from the

outside perimeter of the pool.

The installer of the vinyl liner shall affix on the original or

replacement liner, or on the pool structure, all safety signs in

accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.

If you have a filter pump, refer to the pump’s manual for

instructions.

The ladder shall be located on a solid base and the ladder shall

be installed per the ladder’s instructions.

Publications are available that describe the risk of drowning,

entrapment, and diving accidents.

Available publications related to pool safety include the

Association of Pool and Spa Professionals’ (APSP) booklets

entitled: The Sensible Way to Enjoy Your

Aboveground/Onground Swimming Pool, Children Aren’t

Waterproof, Pool and Spa Emergency Procedures for Infants

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

rating of 85 dBA at 305 cm (10 ft) 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 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.

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.

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

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.

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.

Suction Risk:

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 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.

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

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

is not included and easily available in the market.

Bestway will not be responsible for damage caused to the pool

due to mishandling or failure to follow these instructions.

1. Lay out all parts and check that you have the correct

quantities as listed in the components list. For assistance or

FAQs, please visit the support section on our website,

www.bestwaycorp.com.

2. Spread out the pool and make sure the pool is right side up;

let it sit exposed to direct sunlight for 1 hour or more so that

the pool is more flexible during set up.

3. Place the pool near an adequate drainage system to deal

with overflow water and ensure the pool’s inlet A and outlet B

are correctly positioned to allow your filter pump to connect to

a power source.

NOTE: Do not use extension power cords to power your

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)

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.

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.

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.

3. Check pool for any leaks at valves or seams, check any

evident water loss. Do not add chemicals until this has been

done.

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.

We strongly recommend the pool is disassembled during the off season (winter months). Store in a dry location out of children’s reach.

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.

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.

3. Les barrières massives, qui n’ont pas d’ouvertures, comme un mur

en maçonnerie ou en pierre, ne doivent pas contenir de saillies ou

de retraits à l'exception des espaces normaux de construction et

des joints de maçonnerie tirés.

4. Lorsque la barrière est composée des éléments horizontaux et

verticales et que la distance entre les parties supérieures des

éléments horizontaux est inférieure à 114 cm (45 po), les éléments

horizontaux doivent être situés sur le côté piscine de la clôture.

L’écart entre les éléments verticaux ne doit pas dépasser

4,4 cm (1-3/4 po) de large. Quand il y a des entailles décoratives,

l’écart entre les entailles ne doit pas dépasser 4,4 cm (1-3/4 po) de

large.

5. Quand la barrière est composée d’éléments horizontaux et

verticaux et que la distance entre les hauts des éléments

horizontaux est de 114 cm (45 po) ou plus, l’écart entre les

éléments verticaux ne doit pas dépasser 10 cm (4 po). Quand il y a

des entailles décoratives, l’écart entre les entailles ne doit pas

dépasser 4,4 cm (1-3/4 po) de large.

6. Le maillage maximal des grillages ne doit pas dépasser

4,4 cm (1-3/4 po) à moins que la clôture ne soit équipée de

lamelles en bois fixées en haut ou en bas, qui réduisent les

ouvertures à un espace inférieur 4,4 cm (1-3/4 po).

7. Là où la barrière est composée d’éléments en diagonale, comme

une clôture en latex, l’ouverture maximale formée par les éléments

en diagonale ne doit pas dépasser 4,4 cm (1-3/4 po).

8. Les portes d'accès à la piscine doivent se conformer à la Partie I,

paragraphes 1 à 7 et devraient être équipées d’un dispositif de

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.

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.
