Corona pools must have anti-entrapment drain covers (VGB Act), GFCI-protected wiring (CEC 680), proper bonding, and approved barriers. Public/HOA pools need rescue equipment and signage.
Beyond barrier requirements, residential pools in Corona must comply with several life-safety standards. The federal Virginia Graeme Baker Pool & Spa Safety Act (15 U.S.C. §8001) and California H&S §116064 require all main drains to be fitted with anti-entrapment covers meeting ANSI/ASME A112.19.8, and single-drain systems on pools constructed since 2010 are prohibited (dual drains or alternative unblockable drain systems required). Electrical work must comply with California Electrical Code Article 680: equipotential bonding grid extending at least 3 feet from the pool, GFCI protection on all pool circuits, motor disconnects within sight of equipment, and underwater lighting on low-voltage transformers. Pool heaters must vent properly and meet Title 24 efficiency standards. Public and HOA pools (regulated under H&S §116025+) require additional safety: ring buoys with throw lines, shepherd's crooks, depth markers, no-diving signage, water clarity standards, and bacteriological testing. Residential owners should still post depth and 'no diving' markings, keep a CPR-trained adult present when children swim, and never allow swimming alone. Corona Fire Department also encourages CPR training. Diving boards on residential pools must have at least 8.5 feet of water depth at the tip; older shallow pools should remove existing boards.
