WILMINGTON, FAYETTEVILLE & RALEIGH, NC POOL SAFETY INSPECTIONS & UPGRADES FROM AQUA OPERATORS

In December 2007, the US government passed a national pool & spa safety law to minimize the likelihood of human entrapment, evisceration or drowning in public or private swimming pools. Any commercial pool in the state of North Carolina that doesn’t comply with these new statutes will be subject to fines, closure and/or further legal action by state and federal authorities.

The safest and fastest way to determine if your pool meets the new state and federal guidelines is to schedule a safety inspection by a trained industry expert.

• Safety Drain Covers

We will arrange a our pool safety inspections & upgrades department safety inspection to determine what actions, if any, are required to keep your commercial pool safe, open and operating.

SAFETY DRAIN COVERS

The Virginia Graeme Baker Pool Safety Act mandates that all commercial pools be upgraded with federally compliant drain covers by December 2008 or be subject to fines and closure. Most commercial pools will require an on-site inspection to determine if the drain cover is in compliance. In some cases, retrofit may be possible with a commercially available drain cover. In other cases, a field-fabricated retrofit may be required. Call Aqua Operators pool safety inspections upgrades department to determine if your drain covers are compliant.

GRAVITY FEED SYSTEMS

New laws in some states mandate that all commercial pools must be equipped with a gravity feed system. If your pool was built after 1974, it should already be in compliance. If your commercial pool was built before 1974, then you should have an Aqua Operators pool safety inspections upgrades department professional inspect your pool to determine if it needs to be converted to a gravity feed system.

SAFETY VACUUM RELEASE SYSTEMS

The Association Of Pool And Spa Professionals recommends “multiple layers of protection” to keep everyone safe around a swimming pool. A Safety Vacuum Release System (SVRS) does exactly that. It automatically releases the vacuum if a drain or other suction fitting is blocked. At Aqua Operators pool safety inspections upgrades department , we recommend multi-speed pumps with the SVRS built-in, for added safety.
