Indiana Building Code and federal VGB Act require pool safety features including barriers, anti-entrapment drain covers, and GFCI electrical protection.
Evansville enforces Indiana Building Code pool safety requirements and the federal Virginia Graeme Baker Pool and Spa Safety Act. Anti-entrapment drain covers are required on all pools and spas. GFCI (ground-fault circuit interrupter) protection required for all pool electrical systems. Depth markers recommended. Indiana's freeze-thaw climate requires proper winterization. Tornado season (April to June) may cause debris hazards for uncovered pools. Homeowner insurance implications for non-compliance are significant.
Non-compliant safety features: correction order. Fines $100 to $500. Increased insurance premiums or coverage denial.
