"P" -  Safe Pools

August is Safe Pools Month.

 

Virginia Graeme Baker Pool & Spa Safety Act:  The VGB Pool and Spa Safety Act was enacted in December 2007 to ensure public safety in pools and spas through federal regulations that require the use of equipment that protects against entrapment and evisceration.  Specifically, the legislation requires that pools and spas be equipped with certified drain covers or grates that meet the required ASME/ANSI A112.19.8 standards and safety measures to prevent entrapment and evisceration before December 19, 2008.   Make sure the pools your family uses have been retrofitted or updated to comply with the VGB Act.  You can find out more about the VGB Act at the website for the Consumer Product Safety Commission at www.cpsc.gov.

Brownell-Talbot replaced our drain covers with VGB compliant models in December of 2008.

Thank you for visiting our site this month.  We hope you are having a great summer!
