5 Steps to Prep Your Pool for Summer
Its that time of year again. The weather is getting warmer, and your residents are ready to head outdoors for some fun. That means it’s time for some regular maintenance to prepare your pool for a safe summer. Follow these steps to create a safe pool area:
- Annual inspection. Ensure your pool is ready to open on time; schedule the inspection early to allow time for possible repairs, maintenance, or reinspection.
- Compliance with local ordinances. Check with your states’ Department of State Health Services for applicable updates and ordinances in your area.
- Update your pool signs. Pool signs help reduce accidents and protect against certain liabilities. They should always be clean, easy to read, and placed in a prominent location. As a best practice, replace your pool signs annually to keep them like new.
- Check your gates and fences. Make sure the fences and gates surrounding your pool area are the appropriate height and that all locking mechanisms are in working order.
- Utilize pool passes. Manage unauthorized visitors in your pool area by issuing pool passes. There are numerous options ranging from wrist bands to key tags. Wrist bands are easy to spot from a distance and allow your residents to easily keep up with. For an added touch customize your pool passes with your community name.
Bonus safety tip: Place a pool life ring in a highly visible, easily accessible location and install safety tape in high traffic areas near your pool.
