Manchester enforces pool safety standards through local building codes. New Hampshire requires proper electrical grounding, drain safety compliance, and barrier maintenance for residential pools.
Manchester pool safety requirements address electrical, structural, and drowning prevention standards. All pool electrical systems must have GFCI protection and proper bonding per the National Electrical Code. Drain covers must comply with the Virginia Graeme Baker Pool and Spa Safety Act (federal P&SS Act) to prevent entrapment. Pool chemicals must be stored safely according to manufacturer guidelines. Residential pools should have readily accessible life-saving equipment. Pool depth must be clearly marked. Diving boards and slides must meet manufacturer specifications for water depth. NH does not require residential pool alarms statewide but some municipalities may require them. Regular maintenance of barriers, gates, and safety equipment is the owner's responsibility.
Safety violations: immediate correction orders for electrical hazards. Non-compliant drains: pool closure until corrected. General safety violations: fines $100 to $500.
