Supervising Children Around Above Ground
Pools
WATCH CHILDREN – PREVENT DROWNING
Always watch and supervise children playing
in or around pool to prevent drowning or
injury. Never allow children or adults to
climb on the outside structure of the above
ground pool. Do not place filters, pumps,
tables, chairs or other objects near the
pool. Children may use these to enter the
pool and drown. Position your filtration
system a safe distance from the pool to
prevent young children from using the filter
as a means of access to the pool.
FENCE SAFETY
For your added safety we urge you to install
around the pool an additional four (4) foot
tall (aboveground level) fence, wall or
enclosure that is made of durable material.
All gates and entries must be self-closing
and self-latching and equipped with hardware
for permanent locking. All latches must be
installed four (4) feet above the ground
surface and make inaccessible to toddlers
from outside. If a building is part of the
barrier, all doors, windows and patio gates
that could provide access to the pool must
be self-closing, self-latching with
permanent locks so that your pool cannot be
entered by toddlers. Check all local and
state building codes to insure your
installation complies with all requirements.
These Safety Instructions require pool users
to exercise common sense. Always use common
sense in your use of this product in order
to avoid risks associated with electricity
and water, which can result in paralysis
from diving, drowning or electrocution.
CHILD DROWNING ALERT
U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission

children, young adults and adults account

using this pool product. Children under the
age of 5 years old are the highest risk.
Please watch your children!
