Compulsary Pool Safety Bylaw Taking Effect Soon - Act Now and become compliant

Compulsary Pool Safety Bylaw

A new bylaw is currently in the process of being promulgated in the Gauteng Province,
which will eventually be implemented country wide.

This bylaw, when it comes into effect (2012), will require pool owners to adhere to minimum pool safety requirements.

All swimming pool owners will be required to install either a pool fence, pool safety net or pool cover.

Failure to adhere to the requirements may lead to prosecution of the swimming pool owner.

The chosen product would need to adhere to the specific criteria as laid out in the bylaw.

At present the requirements for a pool safety net is as follows

VIEW DETAILS

A. NETTING
1. At least 64 strands of high-density polyethylene monofilament must be used for a braid used in a pool net and each strand must be at least 0.20mm in diameter (i.e. 500 denier).
2. The braid used for a pool net must be a flat braid at least 3,5mm in diameter measured on its flat side.
3. The breaking strain must be at least 150kg.
4. The braid material must contain an ultra-violet inhibitor of at least 2% and must be resistant to any chemicals used in swimming pools.
5. The mesh size of a pool net may not exceed 100mm².
6. The water level when the pool net is in place must not be less than 10cm below the net when the swimming pool is filled to its optimum level.

B. ANCHORING ATTACHMENTS
1. The fittings for securing a pool net to the fittings contemplated in item B2 must be securely attached to the pool net and made of non-corrosive metal.
2. Non-corrosive fittings made of stainless steel or glass-filled nylon or other non-corrosive material of at least equal strength must be anchored into the surrounding paving of the swimming pool or, if this is not possible for any reason, non-corrosive rawl bolts or other similarly effective fittings may be anchored in any vertical wall or other construction.
3. The distance between the fittings contemplated in item B2 may not exceed 750mm unless the surrounding paving makes a longer distance more appropriate, provided the level and tension of the pool net is not compromised

C. FLOATS
1. Floats must be fitted in appropriate positions as follows –
(a) one float for a swimming pool 15m² but under 50m²;
or
(b) two floats for a swimming pool of 50m² or more, of water surface of the swimming pool concerned.
2. The function of a float contemplated in item C1 is to maintain the level of the pool net above the level of the water
as contemplated in item A6.

D. INSTALLATION
1. Any pool net must be fitted and cut to size to ensure that it is the correct shape and size for the swimming pool
concerned and the edges of such net must be strengthened to ensure that the net can withstand adequately
the strain imposed on it when it is secured to the fittings contemplated in item B2

Customer Testimonials

Dear Aqua-net
Just to let you know that I have had first-hand proof that Aqua-net WORKS!!
My 4-year old called me nervously last week to come and fetch her brother (who will be 1yr on 30Nov).
When I came outside, he was crawling quite happily along the aqua-net about a meter away from the edge of the pool.
At the deep end of course. I managed to reach his arm to pull him up and away.
He still thinks he can walk on water and we're keeping a closer eye but thank heavens for the net!

Yours truly
--Riette Gasser--

Hi Amanda
Thank you for excellent , super speedy service!
Both yourself and the team that fitted the net have been a pleasure to deal with.
I will recommend Aqua-Net to all.
Thanks once again!

Goeie dag, Ek het begin Februarie met Heather gesels insake ?n kwotasie vir ?n seil.
Ek het vele ander kwotasies gekry wat baie goedkoper was as wat julle my
kan bied maar het besluit as gevolg van Heather se goeie persoonlikheid en kliënte diens om dit deur julle te doen.
Byvoorbaat met dank,

CELESTé SMITH

Dear Heather
Please allow me to compliment you for the excellent service you have afforded me.
Your friendly approach, yet professional, helped me to immediately feel comfortable with your company.
From the first interaction with you it was clear that you are probably a big asset to your employer.
You know how to work with people and how to make a customer feel important.
Thanks again.
Best regards

Johan Vorster

Hi Heather
I would just like to thank you for your friendly service.
We always feel that it is only right to complain when you not happy but we fail to appreciate the good.
I personally believe that informing the person or the company of their good service
will mean a lot to them because they can never realise until we tell.
This is where productivity becomes high and that proves,
that employees are doing their work with passion and look forward to selling their products.
Keep it that way
THUMBS UP & WELL DONE!!!
Thank You

Hi there
I have just had a pool net installed and I would like to commend the team that came out
? they were so professional and did a fantastic job.
In a country that has such a poor service industry, this comes as a refreshing change.
Many thanks

Jacqui

Good day,
I just want to commend your company?s service.
Dan was the rep who came to see me on Wednesday afternoon,
I was called by Tarryn on Friday to schedule the installation.
The installation team arrived before the scheduled time and were also very efficient.
Thanks again!

Alan Foster

A brief note of thanks to Aquanet for the efficient manner in which the enquiry
and subsequent installation of the net and leaf cover was handled.
Arriving at times promised was particularly appreciated
Kind regards

To Management & Staff,
We had a pool net installed on our swimming pool September 2008 due to a new arrival in our family June 2008.
Your service was absolutely professional and quick (3 days from quotation to installation).
To date your product still looks as good.
Today our little boy, now 23 months old, was chasing a ball and did not look where he was going.
He fell onto the pool net and we were able to retrieve him without out fuss or requiring a change of clothing.
We know consumers are always quick to complain, but hardly ever take the time to say thank you.
Our family would like to take the time to say a big Thank You.
Regards

Andrea Rose
