Free checklist


5 star pool inspections goal is to assist pool owners in obtaining a pool safety certificate on their first inspection. So to assist you in compiying with the pool safety laws I recommand that you go through the CHECKLIST and rectify or have someone rectify any potential non-conforming areas prior to your inspection date.

 

If some of the following statements are NOT true or you are concerned about anything give me a call before I come out to the appointment. If you want to save and print the free checklist, click here.

  • The gate is opening AWAY from the pool

  • The gate latch is 1500mm from the ground

  • When the gate is closed, it is secure and does not pull free

  • The gate self closes from ANY and ALL positions

  • The gap between the gate and the ground is 100mm or less
