WARNING
Your pool is a fun area for family and friends. It is designed to be safe and to last for
many years. On the other hand, neglecting the use and maintenance of your pool
can quickly become dangerous. The pool is subject to wear and deterioration. If not
maintained properly, certain types of excessive or accelerated deterioration can lead
to failure of the pool structure that might release large quantities of water that could
cause bodily harm and property damage. Your pool contains enough water and is
deep enough to pose a real danger to its users. Therefore, it is important to follow
strict safety instructions to allow safe use of this product. Failure to follow the
recommendations listed below may result in serious injury, paralysis or even death.
We suggest you to learn or to refresh the basics of CPR, since you never know when
an accident can occur. Check local municipal laws for additional mandatory rules.
Publications are available that describe the risk of drowning, entrapment, and diving
accidents.
SAFETY RECOMMENDATIONS
• Make sure everyone using your swimming pool is aware of these
recommendations and follow them.
• Never dive or jump. Your aboveground pool is not deep enough to safely allow
diving or jumping. This can result in concussions, paralysis, drowning and
even death.
• No running near the pool. When surfaces are wet and become slippery, it can
result in falls causing serious injuries.
• Never leave a child unattended. Even for a few seconds, drowning is the fourth
largest cause of death in Canada. It takes only a few seconds for a child to drown.
• Restrict access to the pool by making sure the ladder is removed, locked or
completely lifted. A barrier is necessary to provide protection against potential
drowning and near drowning. That barrier is not a substitute for the constant
supervision of children. If you have a deck overlooking the pool, you must have a
door with an automatic locking system restricting access to water. Do not leave
garden furniture around the pool that could allow access to water. Object such as
toys, chairs, tables, or similar objects that a young child could climb shall be at
least 4’ (1219 mm) from the pool. Your ltration system (pump and lter) should
be at least 4’ from the edge of your pool.
• Life saving equipment should always be accessible near the pool. Either a 16’
(4.88 m) pole with a grasping handle and a 1/4’’ diameter 50’ rope attached to a
15’’ diameter buoy. Bad or inexperienced swimmers should always use a
life jacket.
• Wait 1 hour before swimming after eating since cramps can occur land lead to
risks of drowning.
• No walking or sitting on top ledges since they have not been designed for this
purpose and can be slippery resulting in dangerous falls.
• Do not use alcohol or drugs that may bias your judgment and diminis
your reexes.
• Do not use your pool if the bottom is not visible, it shall be visible at all time
from the outside perimeter of the pool. At night, it should always be well
illuminated with proper lighting.
• Do not use glass bottles or containers in or around the pool. It can cause
injuries or damage the pool.
• Never use the pool during thunderstorms.
• Keep your pool clean and hygienic as it could cause illnesses.
• Never swim alone, if something happens to you no one will be able to help you.
• A list of emergency telephone numbers shall be posted, such as the nearest
available police station, re station, ambulance, and/or rescue unit. These
numbers are to be kept near the telephone that is the closest to the pool.
