The presence of a fence around a residential swimming pool, spa, or hot tub is only a layer of passive protection against drownings or near-drownings. Such passive protection should never be construed as taking the place of constant adult supervision.

WARNING:
THERE IS NO SUBSTITUTE FOR COMPETENT ADULT SUPERVISION AROUND A SWIMMING POOL. THE Water Warden™ SAFETY FENCE IS NOT DESIGNED TO BE A SUBSTITUTE FOR ADULT SUPERVISION, NOR IS IT A GUARANTEE AGAINST ACCESS TO THE POOL.

. Any pool safety product is only effective as a level of protection against unauthorized pool access if used correctly.

. The Water Warden™ safety fence must isolate the pool from all exits of the home.

. All sides of the pool should be surrounded by the safety pool fence, or by another permanent obstruction, such as a concrete wall, iron fence, brick wall etc.

. If the safety pool fence is not being used as a complete structure, and it will adjoin some sort of permanent structure, you must ensure that the permanent structure is solid and sturdy. Also make sure that a child cannot climb over, under or through the permanent structure.

. Make sure not to install safety pool fence near another structure that a child can climb on (such as raised walls, seating or decorative objects.)

. Check local building codes before installation to be sure you are in compliance with fencing laws.
