Where a house wall forms part of the pool barrier, Menifee requires doors with direct pool access to have self-closing devices or alarms sounding at least 85 dBA, and state law requires at least two of seven drowning prevention features at permit time.
Menifee's Swimming Pool and Spa Barrier Requirements handout allows, with building official approval, self-closing and self-latching devices on pool-access doors with release mechanisms at least 54 inches above the floor, or door alarms (including on sliding glass doors) that sound continuously for at least 30 seconds within seven seconds of opening at no less than 85 dBA measured indoors at 10 feet. Statewide, California Health & Safety Code section 115922 requires new or remodeled residential pools and spas to include at least two of seven drowning prevention safety features, such as an enclosure, ASTM-compliant safety cover, exit alarms, or water entry alarm. Menifee verifies alarms at the pre-plaster inspection, including inside the home.
The pre-plaster inspection fails if required door alarms or self-closing devices are missing or non-functional; the pool cannot be plastered or filled until safety features pass city inspection.
