Safe Pool Equipment Use
Here’s how to use your pool equipment safely:
1. Keep Equipment Away from Children
Ensure that all pool equipment (like filters and pumps) is stored or enclosed away from children. Use weatherproof and child-safe power outlets.
2. Store Chemicals properly
Pool chemicals such as chlorine should be:
• Locked away
• Kept out of direct sunlight
• Stored in their original containers
• Placed in a special area
3. Notice Automatic Cleaners
Although automatic pool cleaners are convenient, they should never be used while children are swimming. Its power and line might hurt kids.
4. Routine Equipment Checks
Regular inspections by licensed pool technicians can prevent faults like leaks, overheating, or electrical risks. It’s a good idea to book a safety check before each swim season.
5. Turn Off Equipment Before Swimming
Turn off all pool equipment before anyone enters the water — including underwater lights, pumps, and robotic vacuums.
