Safety & Codes
電源に触れる前に

濡れた機器、ブレーカーの作動、感電の懸念は、すべて停止条件です。

  • マニュアル、ラベル、地域の規定、現場の状態は Poolometer より優先します。
  • 電気経路が明確に安全だと分かるまで、プールは閉鎖したままにします。
  • 濡れた筐体、ボンディング、通電状態での試験は、資格のある電気工事士に任せてください。
Drain Safety

Drain Cover Safety Zones

!
Do not remove cover

Main drain covers are safety-critical. Removing them exposes suction entrapment hazard. Only qualified service should touch drain assemblies.

OK
Inspect for damage

Visually check covers for cracks, missing screws, or loose fastening. If the cover moves or is damaged, stop pool use and call service.

!
Anti-entrapment

Covers must meet ASME/ANSI anti-entrapment standards. Ensure multiple drain or safety vacuum release system is in place (VGB 2008 compliance).

Safety Boundaries

Heater Safety Zones

6"
Clearance

Minimum 6 inches of clearance on all sides. Do not store anything against the heater cabinet.

!
No chemicals

Do not store pool chemicals, solvents, or flammable materials near the heater. Corrosive vapors damage internal components.

!
Water flow required

Never operate the heater without water flow. Dry-firing or running with air in the heat exchanger causes rapid failure and fire risk.

Lighting, Electrical, and GFCI Safety

Treat pool lights, receptacles, pumps, and breakers as water-adjacent life-safety equipment, not casual DIY territory.

Use this when
  • Treat pool lights, receptacles, pumps, and breakers as water-adjacent life-safety equipment, not casual DIY territory.
You'll need
  • Breaker panel access and labels
  • GFCI test button accessibility
  • Emergency shutoff path known to household
Stop and escalate if
  • Do not enter the water if electrical shock is suspected
  • Do not open wet electrical enclosures or improvise repairs around water
  • Do not use extension cords near the pool edge
最初に行うこと

Know the pool-light, pump, and subpanel breaker locations. Label them clearly. Seconds matter in an electrical emergency.

してはいけないこと
  • Do not enter the water if electrical shock is suspected
  • Do not open wet electrical enclosures or improvise repairs around water
  • Do not use extension cords near the pool edge
用意するもの

Breaker panel access and labels / GFCI test button accessibility / Emergency shutoff path known to household

0%0/9 done
1

Know the emergency shutoff path

In an electrical emergency, seconds matter more than diagnosis.

2

Use GFCI protection and professional inspection

Older pools and aging lights are special concern areas.

3

Respect owner-safe boundaries

There is a difference between identifying a hazard and repairing it.

Owner vs pro boundaries

Use the canonical escalation guide when electrical work overlaps with gas, draining, or winterization decisions.

Electrical and bonding owner checks

Use the owner-check page for visual inspection of GFCIs, bonding, conduit, corrosion, and pad wiring.

電気工事の境界

プールの電気工事は、直接生命安全の領域です。作業が明確にオーナー安全でない限り、観察側にとどまってください。

OWNER-SAFE
  • ブレーカーにラベルを付け、GFCI をテストし、目に見える腐食、ゆるんだカバー、水の侵入を記録します。
  • 安全にできるなら、乾いたアクセスしやすいブレーカー位置から電源を切ります。
  • 人を水から遠ざけ、資格のあるプール電気工事士のために現場を保ちます。
PRO-ONLY
  • 盤を開ける、照明回路を修理する、商用電圧のプールライトを交換する、ボンディングや接地の不具合を直す。
  • 濡れた筐体、損傷した配管、腐食した端子、設備内で繰り返すブレーカー作動を調べる。
  • 資格と装備がない限り、プール設備周辺で通電試験は行わない。
STOP NOW
  • 水中や金属機器で感電を感じた人がいる。
  • ブレーカーが何度も落ちる、配線が焦げている、または筐体内部が濡れている。
  • ライトニッチ、水中灯、隣接回路が損傷しているように見える。

Educational guidance only. Verify labels, manuals, local code, and site conditions before acting. Stop for electrical, gas, structural, drain, drowning, injury, emergency, or chemical-mixing risk.
