Live Oak pools must comply with the federal Virginia Graeme Baker Act anti-entrapment standards and Texas state safety rules, including dual main drains or approved alternatives.
The federal Virginia Graeme Baker Pool and Spa Safety Act requires all pools and spas to have anti-entrapment drain covers meeting ANSI/APSP/ICC-16 and either dual main drains separated by at least 3 feet, an unblockable single drain, or a safety vacuum release system. Texas Health and Safety Code Chapter 757 mirrors these requirements for public pools and influences residential design. Live Oak inspectors verify compliance at final pool inspection. Pool owners should also post depth markers, provide a reach pole and ring buoy for pools that serve multifamily dwellings, and test GFCI protection for all circuits serving pumps, lights, and outlets within 20 feet.
