Islip residential pools must comply with NY Uniform Code barrier and alarm standards and the federal Virginia Graeme Baker Pool and Spa Safety Act drain cover requirements. Public and semi-public pools are regulated by Suffolk County Department of Health Services under 10 NYCRR Subpart 6-1.
All residential pools require VGB-compliant anti-entrapment drain covers, proper electrical bonding and GFCI protection on pumps and lights, and door/pool alarms when the dwelling forms part of the barrier. Pool operators of semi-public pools (condo, HOA, motel) must have a certified pool operator (CPO) and maintain chemistry, filtration, and bather-load records. Suffolk DOHS inspects semi-public pools seasonally. Diving boards are increasingly restricted and require specific depth and hopper dimensions.
