California Pool Safety Act (H&S 115921) requires at least two of seven drowning-prevention features. The most common is a 60-inch enclosure with self-closing, self-latching gates.
The California Swimming Pool Safety Act (Health & Safety Code §115921) requires that any new pool or spa, or any pool/spa being remodeled with significant work, include at least two of seven listed drowning-prevention safety features: (1) an enclosure (fence/wall) at least 60 inches high meeting specific gap and climb-resistance specs with self-closing/self-latching gates that latch at least 60 inches above grade; (2) removable mesh fencing meeting ASTM F2286; (3) approved safety pool cover meeting ASTM F1346; (4) exit alarms on doors leading from the home to the pool area; (5) self-closing/self-latching devices on doors with release at least 54 inches above the floor; (6) alarms in the pool that detect unauthorized entry; or (7) other means providing equal protection. Corona Building Division verifies the safety features at the final inspection; pools cannot be filled with water until passed. Fences must be designed so that openings cannot pass a 4-inch sphere, horizontal members are at least 45 inches apart on the outside, and there is no climb-aid within 60 inches. The home itself can serve as one wall of the enclosure only if doors are alarmed or self-closing per option (4) or (5). Existing pools predating the law are grandfathered until major remodel.
