Most states have passed laws that require that pools be fenced in because there is evidence that it does reduce drowning. Some communities even require gates that shut behind people after they enter!
No, the law does not require that a pool be fenced in. However, it still remains good to do so, especially if you have animals or children.

What is better Pool fence or pool safety cover?
From the point of view of safety without surveillance the pool fence is safer. This is because the fence is always there, with a gate that closes automatically and locks so that toddlers cant open it. A pool safety cover is fine when it is in place however when it is not a toddler can approach the pool and there is nothing that protects him or her when they are not being watched.Another contributorI agree with the above answer, pool fence is definitely the way to go. In fact, in most areas it is law or soon will be. I say it will soon be law is because in December 2007 The Virginia Graeme Baker Pool & Spa Safety Act of 2007 was signed into law. Even if some law does not require it, most insurance companies will make you do it or cancel your policy.

How much should one pay for monthly pool maintenance?
My mother-in-law pays a pool service $35.00 per week during the summer months to maintain her plaster diving pool. The company does not require that she be home when they service the pool, as she allows them access into the back yard pool area. Doing this eliminates the workers having to contact her each time they come. This works out well for her and is also convenient when she's out of town on business or pleasure as well.

What law states that if someone drowns in someones pool they are responsible?
The question is not phrased properly. If someone chooses to commit suicide in your pool, you are not responsible. If you do not take reasonable measures to keep people out of your pool -- see the Code and Zoning regulations -- you are negligent. If you do not supervise. you are negligent. There is no "law" as you so put it. It is common law. * Common sense dictates that you are responsible for anyone who is injured or hurt etc on your property. Most states require that when you purchase or acquire a home or property that you get liability insurance coverage in order to complete the sale. You cannot build a pool and get it signed off by your city in this country without a security device on or in the home or around the pool. Those who do not comply or remove that fence around the pool are foolish people. They open themselves up to massive law suits which can result in the loss of their home and all their possessions. Would you want the responsibility or the burden of having some child or someone with Alzheimer's or even an animal drown in your pool??? I think not! k
