Updated October 2025. This booklet has been prepared by the Pool & Hot Tub Alliance (PHTA) to inform you about general safe use, operation, and maintenance of your aboveground pool. It represents the collective expert safety knowledge of the Aboveground and Onground pool manufacturing industry; however, it does not address aspects of pool design, operation, and maintenance. Please refer to individual manufacturer instruction manuals for more specific details on product installation, use, maintenance, and safety. Keep them, along with this booklet, for ready use and reference and be sure to pass them along to future owners or renters.
