It is just as important to maintain a safety posture for above ground pools as for inground pools. Below are some important safety tips for your above ground pool:
Fence / Barrier
Above ground pools must have a fence or barrier around the pool. The stairway leading up to the swim area should also be protected. Stairs to the pool should also be gated with a lock.
Communicate
Pool signs and depth markers are important to have around your pool area. The pool depth markers are available from Casual Patio Pools & More. Other signs should include: "No Jumping", "No Diving, Shallow Water" and "Slippery When Wet".
Safety Equipment
Have basic safety equipment available such as lifesaver rings and a Shepherd's Crook.
Alarms
Your above ground pool should have an alarm installed - it is an excellent safety add-on. The above ground pool alarm should use a sensing method is designed to detect a one-year-old child weighing 15 pounds and greater.
Stairs & Handrails
Be sure the hand rails and stairs have slip resistant surfaces to protect against slips and falls.
