WARNING AND SAFETY

Read and follow all safety information and instructions. Failure to follow these warnings and instructions could result in serious injury or death to users, especially children.

Although our pools are only 2 feet deep, families with pets and children should exercise more caution in and around the pool to avoid accidents and other potential threats. These pools need to be properly maintained to ensure that proper sanitation measures are in place. Without proper maintenance of pools and hot tubs (including water circulation and treatment), various pathogens can grow. It can also create a breeding ground for mosquitoes.

When leaving the pool, remove floats and toys that could lure a child back into the pool. No glass in the pool. Do not run, jump or play in or around the pool.
