Purchasing a home with a pool safety net when you have never owned one can be kind of an interesting process in regards to taking one off and placing it back on the pool when you are not familiar with the product at all. Pool Guard of Puerto Rico recently had a client contact them to do a safety check on the pool net as well as provide instruction as well as assistance in regards to how to use the product. Upon review of the pool net there were some areas that needed some attention. The rope in the center that is the main tensioner for the CTS (central tensioning system) had a great deal of wear and needed to be changed out. The overall condition of the product was pretty good provided the pool net was roughly six years old. A new pulley was provided for the customer's use along with the key to open the net and now the pool is once again up to pool safety standards.  Pool safety should be a top concern when you purchase a home with a pool or have a pool installed in your back yard. Above ground pools, in ground pools and even hot tubs all present a potential drowning hazard if not addressed with layers of protection such as a pool fence, pool net,pool safety cover or an alarm.      

We recently received a call from a parent of a previous installation that we had done (three months ago) and he wanted us to install a pool fence for his child however this location would be at his father's house. We scheduled an appointment and he made it a point that he did not want us to put a fence in without a pool safety gate. He was very stern in his opinion because he had a gate installed at his property with his pool fence and said there is just nothing practical about having a pool safety fence and not having the self closing gate. His biggest concern of course was somone opening the fence and not closing the fence back and with the self closing baby gate this is not a concern. The ironic part is that he is a pediatrician. The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends a 4 foot removable pool fence with self closing, self latching and lockable gate. "It just makes sense to have a gate" was his comment. Another satisfied pool fence customer has been established!       

Sometimes pool safety fence has to be demanded by a parent in order for the grandparents to comply. A great example is of a grandparent in Jayuya. Puerto Rico. The son has refused to bring the grandson to see grandma at her house in Jayuya because she does not have a pool fence around the pool. In the past year there have been several incidents involving grandparents watching the grandchildren and an almost accident and in some cases and accident happened because there was not pool fence around the pool. We are not talking about a wrought iron fence or a chain link or cyclone fence, but a removable pool safety fence. Certainly this demand from the son got the attention of the grandmother and she of course contacted Pool Guard of Puerto Rico to secure the pool as well as provide superior service in the process. Pool Guard of Puerto RIco does not remodel pools, sell pumps nor work on pool decks as the primary focus of Pool Guard is to secure pools so that each year the number of accidents becomes fewer and fewer.         

Pool fence is or was not an option for us when we had our son (35 years ago)however, now that we have our grandaughter, it is a necessity for our pool.  We had our pool fence installed by Pool Guard of Puerto Rico last week and I have to say that their product is amazing. I feel so much safer with the baby in the backyard with the pool fence. I wanted to thank the guys with Pool Guard by sending this letter to let you know how much I appreciate the effort into making the fence look perfect as well as being on time and cleaning up once you were done. I will certainly recommend you to our neighbors who have kids and grandkids. Again, many thanks!  A. Baez
