Peace of Mind Pool Service
When installing a pool fence you want to make sure that you are completely enclosing the pool area.
Both an above ground pool or in ground pool should be fenced. There should be only one gate leading into the pool area with a lock high enough a child cannot reach it.

In a recent near-drowning tragedy involving a swimming pool main drain, the five-year-old son of Grammy winning singer Usher fell into the swimming pool behind their Atlanta home and became stuck in the powerful suction of the drain.
The boy was eventually pulled from the pool by two subcontractors that were working in the home and given CPR by one of the men.
The boy spent nearly a week in the hospital, and we are thankful to say that he was released on Sunday and is in good condition.
Near tragedies like these often serve as reminders for pool safety, and we are sending out this important pool safety correspondence reminding our commercial clients about the new law that requires swimming pool main drains be replaced to remain federally compliant.
In order to help prevent unnecessary future tragedies, we are strongly recommending that our residential customers follow suit; owning a pool has fantastic benefits, but it also comes with a great deal of responsibility.
In 2007, 7 year old Virginia Graeme Baker, drowned while sitting on a hot tub drain. This started the Pool and Spa Safety Act, calling for public pools to replace their flat drain covers with large, round covers. (If you need your drain to be inspected, call 561-674-6909)
It also required backup systems on single-drain pools designed to activate a vacuum release if a person becomes stuck in the drain.
However, many residential pools and hot tubs need to be inspected and updated wherever necessary.
Avoid unnecessary tragedy and stay in compliance, have your drain inspected as soon as possible.
