Why You Need a Pool Safety Inspection

If you own a pool in Victoria, Australia, then you need to get it inspected by a certified Vic Pool Inspector. Pool safety is no joke, and failure to comply with the Australian standards can result in some hefty fines. But beyond avoiding a fine, getting a pool safety inspection is important for the safety of you and your family. Here's everything you need to know about why you need a pool safety inspection.

What is a Pool Safety Inspection?

A pool safety inspection is when a certified inspector comes to your property to ensure that your pool is compliant with the Australian Pool Safety Standards. This includes making sure that your pool has the proper barriers in place to prevent young children from gaining access. 

Why Do I Need One?

There are two main reasons why you need a pool safety inspection. The first is to avoid any fines that may be incurred for not being properly registered or inspected. The second reason, and more importantly, is to help keep you and your family safe. 

Drowning is one of the leading causes of death for children under five, so it's important to do everything you can to make sure your pool is safe. A certified inspector will be able to identify any potential hazards and make recommendations for how to fix them.

What Happens if My Pool Fails the Inspection?

If your pool fails the inspection, don't panic! There are usually only a few minor things that need to be fixed in order for it to pass. The inspector will provide you with a report detailing what needs to be fixed in order for your pool to be compliant. Once those items have been addressed, you can schedule a free of charge re-inspection.
