Jump to Safety Warning Guidelines

Your Sharkline pool is designed for years of pleasurable, safe family fun. But, when used incorrectly, your swimming pool can be dangerous. To insure your Sharkline pool is used safely you must observe the following safety precautions:

• Do not dive!-Do not jump!- No rough play!- No running or pushing!
• Do not walk on the top rail. It can be slippery and is not a walkway.
• Be sure to install all safety labels provided with your pool according to the instructions.
• Keep a safety rope 1/4” by 50’ with a flotation buoy with an outside diameter of 15”. Have accessible in a prominent area by your pool. 

Post near all entrances to pool area; a list of telephone numbers of the:

• Nearest available police
• Nearest ambulance service
• Nearest available fire department
• Nearest available hospital • Nearest available rescue unit
• Nearest available physician
• 911 emergency number if available

Provide fencing or enclosure which is independent of the house as a closure around the entire pool area. The fencing must be made of durable material, a minimum of 4’ in height from ground level and with closures with self-latching locks, to make pool inaccessible to toddlers and uninvited guests. Make sure gate is always closed. Be sure to follow local building code requirements for load capacity and fencing if using an aftermarket or home built deck. 

• Check with your local town for any special laws in your locale. 
• Never drink alcoholic beverages or use any intoxicants which could hinder your judgment and reflexes. 
• Never use pool alone. All children must be supervised continuously. 

Do not use pool if bottom is not clearly visible: At night, sufficient lighting must be available. It is the pool owners sole responsibility to provide adequate lighting for pool bottom, safety signs and walkways, which exceeds minimum standards of the IES of North America. 

• Do not climb, stand or sit on any pool structure or the filter system. Components such as the filtration system, pumps and heater must be positioned so as to prevent their being used as a means of access to the pool by young children. 
• Be sure that all toys, chairs and tables or similar objects that a young child could climb on be at least four feet (4’) from pool. 
• Do not use pool during electrical or rain storms.
• See available National Spa and Pool Institute (NSPI), publications for more tips on pool safety.

Please refer to all local codes or your local Sharkline dealer regarding emergency shut off switches for all filtration and suction equipment.
