Swimming Pool Codes and Standards
Every state has their own regulations regarding swimming pools so before you start any repairs to your pool, be sure to contact a local swimming pool contractor. They should be able to let you know which policies, procedures and safety guidelines apply to you. Even if it seems like more trouble than it's worth, it is important to remember that following the safety standards will help keep your pool enjoyable for you, your family and your friends for years to come.
