Davenport enforces pool safety under the International Swimming Pool and Spa Code and the federal VGB Act: anti-entrapment drain covers, 48-inch barriers, and self-latching gates are required around residential pools and spas.
Davenport pool safety follows the adopted International Swimming Pool and Spa Code plus the federal Virginia Graeme Baker Pool and Spa Safety Act. Anti-entrapment main drain covers are required on all pools and spas. Residential pools must combine safety features: a 48-inch barrier, self-closing and self-latching gates, and, where a dwelling wall serves as a barrier, door alarms. Winterization and spring reopening checks matter in Iowa's seasonal climate. Pool condition and safety compliance are disclosed in Iowa residential real estate transactions.
Non-compliant safety features: correction order, and the pool cannot be used until corrected. Fines $100 to $500. Compliance must be disclosed at sale.
