Why You Need An Electrician: Pool and SPA Safety Tips

Pool and SPA Safety Tips

• Try and keep all outdoor holders near pools and spas dry and covered at all times.
• Install GFCIs near your pool or spa. They are a great help for preventing deadly shocks from electrical currents.
• Make sure you ground any equipment you have for your pool or spa, this includes all sorts of cleaning equipment.
• Keep any devices or poles at least 10 feet away from the pool or spa at all times.
• Appliances and tools operated by batteries are safer to use around pools and spas than cord tools.
• Never handle electrical devices when wet or coming out of the pool.
• Make sure your pool or spa is not installed over a power line.
• Do not go in a pool or a spa before, during or after a thunderstorm or a storm that looks like one.
• Make sure only licensed electricans inspect your pool or spa.
