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.

Pool safety should always be on the minds of pool owners or potential pool owners. The interesting aspect that has come to light here in Puerto Rico recently is the number of homes that are owned by the banks and no very little security to keep people out of the pool. Now certainly the style of neigbhorhoods in Puerto Rico have walls around them in most cases but not always are locked in 400 different ways. The challenge that becomes obvious when viewing one of these properties is that if you have a child and you are viewing the property with a broker, that child could easily fall into a pool that is either VERY nasty or has no water at all which can have just as bad of results. Certainly having some form of security on your pool or around your pool is recommended whether it is a pool fence, a pool net, pool cover or even an automatic pool cover...keep your pool safe and pool responsibly.
A pool should have some form of protection to keep a child from drowning. Pool Fences are usually the first line of defence however in Puerto Rico pool safety nets or pool nets (mallas) are fastly winning popularity because they provide a solid form of protection but more importantly there is no obstruction of the view of the pool or the beach that the house may have. The question is asked at least once a week as to which would work better for a specific pool a pool net or a pool fence. The answer depends mostly on what the ages are of the children that we are trying to keep out of the pool. A pool net tends to be targeted at a child or children that are over the age of 5 years old. The cognitive development of a child for understanding when a pool net is on the pool really does not start until about four years old. This fact alone is the main reason that a pool fence should be used on pools for protection on children under the age of 5. Certainly the pool safety nets come in a variety of colors (blue, beige, black and terracotta) however most choose the standard color of blue as the pool is usually blue.
