San Diego County enforces the CA Swimming Pool Safety Act for Bostonia. New or remodeled residential pools must include at least two of seven approved drowning-prevention features, such as an enclosure, ASTM mesh fence, safety cover, door/window exit alarms, or a water-entry alarm.
Under Health & Safety Code section 115922, when a County building permit is issued the pool must carry at least two of these seven features: (1) a compliant enclosure; (2) removable ASTM F2286 mesh fencing; (3) an ASTM F1346 safety cover; (4) exit alarms on doors/windows with direct pool access; (5) self-closing, self-latching devices on doors with a release at least 54 inches high; (6) an ASTM F2208 water-entry alarm; or (7) other protection verified equivalent by an approved lab. Certain combinations (e.g., two alarms on the same opening) do not satisfy the two-feature rule.
Pools that do not carry two qualifying features fail inspection and cannot receive a final; existing hazards can draw County code-enforcement action.
