Beyond the fence, Galloway pools must meet New Jersey Uniform Construction Code safety rules: electrical bonding and grounding, a compliant barrier, and self-latching gates. New pools also require an inspection before a certificate of approval is issued and the pool is used.
Pool safety in Galloway is governed by the state Uniform Construction Code (N.J.A.C. 5:23), which incorporates the Swimming Pool and Spa Code. Requirements include a 48-inch barrier, self-closing and self-latching gates, GFCI-protected and bonded electrical equipment, and proper separation of pumps and heaters. Any door from the dwelling directly into the pool area must have an alarm or approved self-latching device. The Construction Official inspects these features before approving use of the pool.
Operating a pool that fails required electrical bonding, barrier, or alarm rules is a UCC violation; corrections and re-inspection are required, and penalties may be assessed under N.J.A.C. 5:23.
