A: Before your pool is installed, be sure to find out about local building codes and safety standards such as required fences, gates, locks, and safety equipment.
After making sure your pool meets all local safety codes, you should contact your home insurance agent. Your home insurance agent can discuss your liability coverage with you and help you determine if your coverage is sufficient. Most pool owners choose to increase their liability coverage to protect them in the event of a lawsuit involving their pool.
