Pool safety in Monroe County runs on the statewide ISPSC and the federal VGB Act. Every pedestrian gate must open outward, close itself, and latch itself, and every drain needs an anti-entrapment cover.
ISPSC 2021 Section 305.3, adopted through 34 Pa. Code Section 403.21, sets the gate package the same in Stroud, Pocono, and Coolbaugh townships: access gates open outward away from the pool, are self-closing, and carry a self-latching device. Federal law, the Virginia Graeme Baker Pool and Spa Safety Act, requires anti-entrapment drain covers, and the UCC electrical inspection confirms pump bonding and GFCI protection before the pool is used.
A gate that fails to self-close or self-latch is a cited safety defect that keeps the pool from passing inspection. Missing GFCI or drain covers halts approval.
