Pool, Spa & Backyard Safety Rule Watch

Track residential pool, spa and backyard safety in the United States. Report only confirmed, source-backed items from the last 7 days: pool barrier, alarm, cover, drain and inspection rule changes with deadlines and fines by state, county or city; chlorine, trichlor, cyanuric acid, salt and other chemical price moves of 15 percent or more and shortages; DOE pump efficiency rules and utility rebates for pumps, heaters and covers; hot tub, swim spa, pool heater, chemical and pool toy recalls from CPSC and manufacturers; free and low-cost swim lesson, lifeguard and water safety programs opening registration; trampoline, playground, inflatable and treehouse rules; homeowner liability rulings and insurer requirement changes for pools and trampolines; and enforcement actions against pool service and construction companies. Prefer state and local agencies, CPSC, DOE, utilities, YMCA and municipal recreation departments, chemical distributors and established home reporting; ignore pool builder marketing. Put the state, product or program first in the title with the deadline, price or amount. Use high severity for a recall with reported injuries, a rule taking effect within 60 days with fines, or a chemical price move of 30 percent. Return no more than 6 findings. Push each as a finding with a title, a two-sentence summary, sections for what changed, who it affects, what to do, the deadline, and the source link. If nothing qualifies, push nothing and submit the run receipt.
