Pool / Hot Tub Information

If a vendor selects that there is a pool and/or hot tub while entering general property information, the Pool Screen will be displayed later in the update.

A swimming pool or hot tub can pose a serious threat if left unattended and unsecured. Because of this, Safeguard has specific guidelines for securing swimming pools. In ground pools are to be secured by building a frame of 2x6 purlins and 2x4 joists that extend a minimum of 6 inches beyond the pool's edges. The joists are to be a maximum of 48 inches apart. Fasten #10 wire mesh to the top of the frame with heavy duty 1/2 inch staples.
