Frisco enforces the federal Virginia Graeme Baker Act requiring anti-entrapment drain covers and, for single-drain pools, a secondary device (SVRS, vent, or disable). Pool alarms or powered covers required when house is part of barrier. No diving boards without 8-foot depth.
Frisco inspections verify VGBA-compliant drain covers on every main drain and suction outlet. Single-drain pools require a Safety Vacuum Release System, gravity drain, or other approved secondary layer per 15 USC §8003. Pools built after 2011 typically have dual main drains. Electrical bonding of metallic equipment, handrails, and rebar per NEC Article 680 is required. Diving boards prohibited unless pool meets minimum 8-foot 6-inch depth and ANSI/APSP-5 hopper dimensions. Lifesaving equipment (reaching pole, ring buoy) required for pools serving more than one family.
Missing VGBA cover: immediate pool closure order. Electrical bonding failure: red-tag and permit suspension.
