New Swimming Pool and Spa Safety Act for All Public Pools

PoolPartsOnLine.com has what you need for your suction fitting requirements to keep your pools and spas in operation. The Virginia Graeme Baker Pool and Spa Safety Act promotes the safe use of pools, spas and hot tubs by imposing mandatory federal requirements for suction entrapment avoidance and by establishing a voluntary grant program for states with laws that meet certain minimum requirements as outlined in the Act. Effective December 20, 2007, the Act is being administered by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC).

(PRWEB) October 27, 2008 -- By December 20, 2008 each new and existing Public Swimming Pool and Spa, in the United States, must be in compliance with the ASME/ANSI A112.19.8 new safety act.
