If you haven't heard already, the swimming pool industry in Florida is working to increase safety in our swimming pools and spas. The Florida Swimming Pool Association has issued several news releases pertaining to the Florida Building Code requirements that will go into effect December 31, 2008. They will require that all residential pools follow the ANSI/APSI-7 Standard: American National Standard for Suction Entrapment Avoidance in Swimming Pools, Wading Pools, Spas, Hot Tubs and Catch Basins. In their release, they have stated that 'the performance requirements and construction practices in this standard are based upon sound engineering principles, research and field experience that, when applied properly, provide for a safe installation that is consistent with the requirement of the federal Virginia Graeme Baker Pool & Spa Safety Act.'
To read the Florida Swimming Pool Association Press Releases in their entirety please visit: http://www.floridapoolpro.com/about/pressreleases.asp. We encourage you to read all of these Press Releases as they pertain to both Residential and Commercial pools. It's important that you understand what these requirements are and to ensure that your pools/spas are safe.
Reminder
Please remember that our Office will be CLOSED on Thursday, December 25th for the Holiday. If your normal scheduled service falls on Thursday, we will be servicing your pool/spa either two business days before or after this date.
Happy Holidays!
