2020 undoubtedly handed all of us unexpected surprises. Working from home, virtual schooling, and quarantining were things that adults & kids alike were not anticipating becoming the ‘new normal’, but indeed, they have. Because families are spending more time at home and in the backyard, All-Safe is here to provide you with our top pool safety equipment choices, and detail a few important pool safety tips to keep in mind during this season.
Having the proper pool safety equipment in place is important now more than ever because with children home all day, the possibility of accidents is heightened. In some households, parents are still required to leave home for work, or if they are working from home, still have to focus on their work tasks, so children do not typically have direct supervision all day.
Not only do we want to protect children from the traditional backyard pool safety hazards, we also know how important it is to follow CDC guidelines to keep all family members safe from Coronavirus. There are safety steps we can take on a daily basis to help stop the spread of this vicious disease, like social distancing, wearing a mask, regularly washing our hands and disinfecting surfaces around us.
Fortunately, according to the CDC, swimming pools have not been shown to spread Covid-19 through the water. With proper cleaning and maintenance, the water is disinfected and virtually kills the virus. Free chlorine is recommended, which can kill virus bacteria within minutes, in combination with proper pH balance. One of our top pool safety tips during this pandemic is to regularly check your chlorine & pH levels to ensure safety.
We still recommend following best practices, even while in the pool to avoid any risk of spreading the virus. Do not go swimming if you’ve been feeling ill, cover your nose if you sneeze & your mouth if you cough, and try to keep your distance when possible.
In addition to keeping your family safe from Covid, there are a few standard pool safety tips that are important to keep in mind as we head into the summer months.
While every parent goes above and beyond to ensure their home environment is as safe as possible for their children, accidents unfortunately can happen, especially in the backyard. In fact, drowning is the leading cause of injury death in children ages 1-14. While we highly recommend swimming lessons early on, we must emphasize how important pool safety equipment, like a pool fence, is as an extra precaution for your family.
All-Safe offers pool fences that are ASTM certified to meet the highest safety standards, made of aircraft-grade aluminum, and are customized for your pool specifically. Our products are easy for adults to set up and remove, yet they are tension-based, deterring children from trying to move or climb on them. Although there is no greater accident prevention than adult supervision, our pool safety fences are an added reassurance that we recommend for all families with backyard pools.

Due to the many variations in monitors, phones, and browsers, color samples and product examples may appear different on different screens. Computers and mobile devices are not all calibrated equally and color reproduction on the Internet is not precise. The same is true for printed items such as brochures and other sales literature.
In addition, the colors of our products photograph differently under different lighting conditions. For example, photos taken in full sunlight will vary from photos taken on a cloudy or overcast day. Similarly, shadows from nearby objects can affect the color and transparency of our products. If a precise color or specific shade is important, please inspect the actual color of your product prior to installation.
Many of our products’ materials are not available through typical stores and vendors and therefore must be custom manufactured specifically for our use. In order to control costs and provide you with the best value possible, our raw materials are produced in large batches and can often take several months to receive. The colors of our materials can, and often do, vary slightly from batch to batch. Although we make every effort to minimize color variations, we cannot be responsible for these differences when they occur. If a precise color or specific shade is important, please inspect the actual color of your product prior to installation.
For example, we use the name “putty” to describe some of our products. Your idea of the color “putty” may be different than someone else’s idea of “putty”. In addition, products may have the same color name but may not be the exact same color. For example, we have different shades of “black”. Please do not order using color names as your only guide. If a precise color or specific shade is important, please inspect the actual color of your product prior to installation.
If it is important that your product be an exact color or shade, it is highly recommended that you inspect the actual product prior to its installation and address any concerns with your local independent installer. Most independent installers do not offer refunds or accept returns due to color variations.
