General Instructions
Your pool contains a large quantity of water, and is deep enough to present inherent
dangers to life and health unless the following safety rules are strictly observed. First-
time users run the highest risk of injury. Make sure everyone understands all safety
rules before entering the pool. Post
For additional safety information please read the enclosed booklet The Sensible Way
To Enjoy Your Aboveground/Onground Swimming Pool.
1. No Jumping or Diving
The top rail of your pool is not a walkway and must not be used for jumping or diving.
Do not permit jumping or diving into the pool from a deck or the top rail of the pool.
Diving or jumping into the pool can result in serious injury.
2. Never use the Pool Alone
Never permit the pool to be used unless it is attended by at least one person other than
the bather. Someone should always be available to lend assistance in an emergency.
3. Never Leave Children Unattended
Never leave a child alone and unsupervised in or near the pool—not even for a sec-
ond. There is no substitute for constant adult supervision.
4. No "Rough-housing"
Do not permit "rough-housing" in and around your pool. Surfaces can become slippery
and hazardous when wet.
5. Light the Pool at Night
If the pool is used after dusk, adequate lighting must be provided. Illumination in the
pool area must be sufficient to clearly judge pool depth and all features in and around
the pool. For lighting recommendations, consult your local licensed electrical
contractor.
6. Restrict Access to the Pool
Do not leave chairs or other furniture beside the pool that could be used by a child to
climb up into the pool. Ladders
fence with a lockable gate around the pool or yard is strongly recommended and may
be required by law in some jurisdictions.
7. No Alcohol or Drugs
The use of alcohol or drugs does not mix with pool activities. Persons who have been
drinking alcohol or using any drugs should not be allowed in the pool, and should be
carefully supervised in the surrounding area.
8. Keep Your Pool Clean and Sanitary
Your filter system will remove suspended particles from the water and the surface
skimmer will remove insects, leaves and other debris from the water surface. Use the
correct pool chemicals as directed to destroy harmful bacteria and prevent formation
of algae. Remember, unsanitary water is a serious health hazard.
