Frequently Asked
How many safety features does California require?
The Swimming Pool Safety Act requires drowning-prevention features from a defined list, and the count has changed with subsequent amendments. We design to the requirement in force in your jurisdiction at the time of submittal.
Do commercial pools follow a different path?
Yes. Public pools run through CBC Chapter 31B and Title 22 with health-department review, which is separate from the residential path.
