    New pool alarm rules?

    in Swimming Pools in France

    Posted

    Hi

    As of a couple of weeks ago when i last looked at this
    Only a couple of in pool alarms  pass the new regs (april 2009)
    the V2 aquaalarm and the VISIOPOOL classique both retail at about 295euros.

    Most of the companies are having to test their alarms again which will take time but the problem is that a lot of suppliers have old stock and are still selling them.

    make sure that any one you purchase has the new regs from April  NF 90 307/A1

    PM me if you need help getting one

    Sorry ErnieY

    the fence you have at the sides with the concrete posts does not conform you will need to have a fence with a certificate of conformity or read the 40 pages of tests and self certify, this goes for the gates also

    that’s why i said an alarm will be the cheapest option

    Ps nice job on the pool

    DDASS visit

    in Swimming Pools in France

    Posted

    Had my visit with the DDASS, they were very helpful .
    This is as much as i can remember for now, Please do not post arguments with the following its what was said and even if you disagree please take it up with the DDASS not me i did not do this to start a war only give a bit more information..

    A public pool is any pool which is used by more than one family not including private houses , so by Law any pool which is shared with two gites for example would come under the DAASS.

    This rule is not policed as they do not have the staff, for example in the LOT they have two staff and have 350 pools to inspect so she said there is no way that they will be looking for the small gite complexes, in the LOT they start to get interested at 6 gites sharing a pool.

    This is not to say that one day they could look at all shared pools.

    Some departments have started to control small gite complexes already.

    It is the responsibility of the pool owner to apply to the DAASS not the pool installer.

    All the regs are the same no matter which department in France.

    The only thing which changes is the interpretation of the regs.

    They only have rules for pools over 240mcu and rules for pools under 240mcu .

    They inspect once a month and are mainly concerned with water quality and test ph , free clor, total clor and cyanuric acid, then they will take a sample to be tested in the lab.

    The pool owner must take these readings twice a day and note them on a form which they supply In the lot they only visit in july and august.

    Tests must be with dpd tablets.

    They can visit any time and have the right to test the pool without the owner’s permission.

    Pools must have an auto clor dispenser but PH does not have to be automatic.

    They will not allow salt pools at all.

    Pools under 240mcu have no regs to say how many times the water must be circulated.

    Any kind of filter can be used no control at all. Sand filters should have a separate foss to take the backwash water.

    One skimmer per 25cum water.

    If a pool comes under the DDASS then it should have a min of one WC and a shower in the near vicinity of the pool and a foot bath at the entrance to the pool, this goes up depending on the amount of people using the pool.

    New installations will be controlled for wheelchair access to the pool area.

    Pools are not allowed to be toped up with a hose pipe so must be connected to the mains and a Bac de disconnexion must be included to protect the Reseau public.

    Summer let pools should be emptied and refilled once a year, and 30 lt min of water changed per person per day .

    Pumps should run 24/24.

    Chemicals should be in a child proof container and locked by Key away from the pool area.


    Hope this helps

    Gite swimming pool regulations

    in Swimming Pools in France

    At the end of the day you make your own mind up or just go to the DDASS and ask we can only advise you.

    All that I can say is at least make sure you have the best filtration system that you can get and plan the pool to be able to upgrade if you have to comply one day.

    If you need any more info or a quote please email or pm

    Gite swimming pool regulations

    I will install whatever the client askes for, but as a pool builder i am obliged to give the correct info at the time of the sale , if the client does not want to follow the regs then its up to them i would not try to sell them something they do not want.

    I am in negotiation with two  Gite complexes, one wants to follow the regs and the other does not

    But i gave them both the same info. i would not be doing my job if i did not.

    The debateable point is when the regs come into the gite market, the way i read it is a single gite is ok but a gite complex with more than one family needs to go by the regs.

    I may be wrong.
