Indianapolis pools must comply with the federal VGB Act (anti-entrapment drain covers), GFCI electrical protection, and Indiana winterization practices. DBNS final inspection required.
All pools in Marion County must meet the federal Virginia Graeme Baker Pool & Spa Safety Act: ASME/ANSI-compliant anti-entrapment drain covers on every suction outlet, and dual-drain or unblockable systems where flow exceeds thresholds. The 2020 National Electrical Code requires GFCI protection for pool circuits, pool lighting, and equipment within 20 feet of the water. Indianapolis winters require draining equipment lines, covering pools before freeze cycles, and securing covers against ice loading. Public/semi-public pools at condos or HOAs require annual permits from the Marion County Public Health Department.
Non-compliant drain covers: immediate closure and federal violation ($2,300+ per pool). No GFCI: electrical permit failure. MCPHD permit violations at semi-public pools: $100 to $1,000 per day.
