Risk of Entrapment
1. Entrapment Avoidance: There shall be no protrusions or obstruction in the swimming area, which may cause entrapment or entanglement of the user. If a suction
outlet cover is missing or broken, do not use the pool. Suction can cause body part entrapment, hair and jewelry entanglement, evisceration, or drowning. Repair
or replace the suction outlet cover before allowing the pool to be used.
2. Never play or swim near drains or suction fittings. Your body or hair may be trapped, causing permanent injury or drowning.
Risk of Drowning
1. Keep unsupervised children from accessing the pool by installing fencing or other approved barriers 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 the pool.
2. Remove pool ladders after leaving the pool.
3. Toys, chairs, tables, or similar objects that a young child could climb should be at least four feet (4') [121.92 cm] from the pool. The pump filter system should be
positioned so as to prevent it from being used as a means of access to the pool by young children.
Diving Risk
1. Above-ground/on-ground residential swimming pools are for swimming and wading only. No diving boards, slides, or other equipment are to be added to an
above-ground/on-ground pool.
