Beyond the five-foot barrier, Mohave County pools must meet A.R.S. §36-1681 enclosure detailing and the federal Virginia Graeme Baker anti-entrapment drain rule. Arizona's high child-drowning rate drives strict enforcement.
A.R.S. §36-1681 sets the safety detailing Mohave County enforces: the barrier cannot have any opening a four-inch sphere can pass, gate latches sit at least 54 inches high, and where a house door opens to the pool it must self-latch or the pool must carry a motorized safety cover meeting ASTM standards. All pools must also have anti-entrapment drain covers under the federal Virginia Graeme Baker Pool and Spa Safety Act. Arizona real estate sales require pool-barrier disclosure. Because child drowning is a leading cause of death for young children in Arizona, county inspectors verify these features before a pool is placed in service.
A barrier opening wider than four inches, a door with no self-latching hardware or safety cover, or a missing anti-entrapment drain cover fails inspection and must be corrected before use.
