Key Safety Tips:
Never keep extension cords or electrical appliances close to the pool. Keep all electrical appliances at least 10 feet away from water.
Install Ground Fault Circuit Interrupters (GFCIs) on each power point that is within 20 feet of the pool. These interrupters automatically cut off power if a fault is detected, preventing shocks.
Install underwater pool pumps and lights and have them inspected and installed by licensed electricians regularly to ensure they meet safety standards and will not allow water penetration.
Install weatherproof, IP-rated outdoor power outlets and protective covers for electrical devices when they are not in use.
Do not put light fixtures or appliances where they could fall into the pool.
Regular professional electrical checks and servicing by the likes of Record Electrical will identify risks early and keep your pool area safe for friends and family.
