Pool safety

Safety starts with the first plan.

Applicable private in-ground and partly in-ground pools in France require a safety device. We integrate that choice with the pool shape and access.

  • Device suited to the pool
  • Documents and installation checked
  • Active supervision essential

Four categories to compare

Barrier, alarm, safety cover or enclosure: the device must meet requirements for its category. An ordinary thermal blanket is not a safety cover.

  • Barriers: NF P90-306
  • Alarms: NF P90-307
  • Covers: NF P90-308
  • Enclosures: NF P90-309

Check the product and installation

Selection is checked against documentation, pool dimensions and installation conditions. The seller or installer provides technical information on operation, upkeep and prevention.

Explain everyday use

Closing, locking, reactivating after swimming and regular checks must be easy to understand. We demonstrate these at handover with instructions to keep.

Equipment does not supervise a child

Protection complements supervision; it never replaces it. During swimming, a designated adult watches children closely. A damaged or improperly closed device needs immediate attention.

Your questions answered

Let's discuss your installation
Is a roller cover always sufficient?

Only if the complete device, installation and use meet applicable requirements. Appearance is not enough.

Can I choose something other than a cover?

Yes. A compliant barrier, alarm or enclosure may be considered for the project and applicable rules.

What should be kept after installation?

Keep instructions, supplied compliance documents and maintenance guidance for correct use and checks.
