Hello All,
My original question was to find out if their was a law that you had to have a pool phone. Many of you have brought up valid points,which I will discuss with my fellow Board members.
Barbara
SC - required by DHEC
FL - not required by DHEC
Universally required by common sense. While someone trained in CPR 'may' be available I doubt if you have an AED on hand. (automatic electronic defibulator) CPR is used UNTIL THE AED is on scene - EMTs/911
AED - $2000+-, then semi annual maintenance?
phone - $10-12 / month
! DOH !

Barbara,
Sorry to have gotten off point but why does it matter if it is the law? Common sense should prevail. A phone may save lives. Some board members get so entangled in legal issues that they can't see the forest for the trees. A lot just love to have discussions and make a point rather than doing the right thing. |

Ellen,
Our Assocation is in a financial crisis. This Board is looking into each and every expense.The Board needed to know the law on this issue. We will probably look into a cheaper phone that only calls 911. Our pool is surrounded by 3 buildings and if anyone yelled for help it would be easily heard.
thanks for all the opinions

If your pool is surrounded by three buildings and you can't afford $10-12/month for an emergency phone .... you REALLY need to close the pool and save some REAL $$$$$$$$$$$.

Too many times on these threads assumptions are made.
At no time did I say it cost $10-$12.

No assumption ... that's what incoming only (911 is ALWAYS active) service costs

| Wouldn't 911 only be outgoing service? Distinctive ring would be an incoming only service, for instance. |

ALL cell phones including un or de activated will reach 911.
ALL phone lines will allow dialing 911.
A 'hardwired' phone service with no outgoing calls permitted WILL ALLOW 911.

Barbara.
If you want to save money, close the pool..What is your present cost for pool maintenance? A "financial crisis" should dictate this. |
