Residential pools in Duluth must meet Georgia Residential Code safety requirements including barriers, alarms on dwelling doors, and anti-entrapment drain covers. Public pools follow GA DPH Rules 511-3-5.
Beyond the 48-inch barrier, Georgia code requires that doors from the home leading directly to the pool area have an alarm audible throughout the house. Pool drains must use anti-entrapment covers compliant with the Virginia Graeme Baker Pool Safety Act. Spa and hot tub safety covers are an accepted alternative to perimeter fencing. Pool alarms are not required by GA state code but are strongly recommended.
Permit denial or revocation; enforcement by Building Department; liability in drowning/injury cases.
