LEGAL INFORMATION
The French Act No. 2003-9 and its implementing order No. 2003-1389 were passed in order to fight
against the growing number of accidents and drowning incidents in private swimming pools for
individual or collective use.
These laws set the following provisions:
Starting from January 1, 2004, any new, non-enclosed, in-ground private swimming pool for individual
or collective use must be equipped with a standardized safety system.
As of this date, the builder or installer of such a swimming pool must provide the owner with a
technical sheet indicating the system chosen.
Owners of non-enclosed in-ground private swimming pools for individual or collective use, installed
before January 1, 2004, must have equipped their swimming pool with a standardized safety system
by January 1, 2006.
If the dwelling is rented seasonally, a standardized safety system must be installed before May 1,
2004.
The importance of active monitoring by parents must be underlined.
SAFETY ADVICE RELATED TO THE ALARM
This alarm system is not a replacement for common sense or individual responsibility. Its purpose is
not to be a replacement for vigilance by a parent or responsible adult, which remains the essential
factor in protecting children under the age of 5.
This alarm is a protective device which signals a danger (or danger risk). A responsible adult must
take quick action within 3 minutes after the alarm triggers.
Any user who shuts off the system must be aware that surveillance by a person must take over from
the system.
You must take action when the failure signal sounds are heard.
The greatest vigilance by the parent/responsible adult is necessary between the end of the swim and
reactivation of the alarm system.
Switch off the swim jet at the end of the swim, to allow the reactivation of the alarm system.
The performance as defined in standard NF P90-307/A1 is not guaranteed beyond wind levels greater
than those specified in this standard.
In no event can your retailer or the manufacturer of the alarm system be held responsible for any
person or animal falling or drowning. In no event must the installation of your alarm system reduce
your vigilance or replace active monitoring of the swimming pool and the area around it.
This alarm system, like any other safety device or equipment, is an additional tool which is useful in
the event of a momentary lack of surveillance.
