Florida State Licensed Commercial Contractor & pool builder - and has been

is well known among others in the business, and has an Excellent
Reputation.
We
do renovations, re-finishing, pool repairs of just about any
kind. And Don is "State Licensed" to install
Commercial Pool Collector Tanks. All commercial pools must
have this modification done, and it must be done by a State
Licensed Commercial Pool Contractor.
This State law was passed and went
into effect on May 24,2009. This new Florida State
Regulation Law 64E-9 is now much more
stringent than the
Federal Virginia Graeme Baker Act. This law also
supersedes the Federal VGB act, and does not allow for any
suction release devices. This new Florida law goes a step
further by eliminating suction-driven commercial pools entirely
and requiring that circulating systems use gravity-fed tanks
only. Your pool and spa must flow by gravity into a collector
tank. Please keep in mind that there is a shortage on these
tanks and you will need to act upon this immediately in order to
meet the deadline. This is mandated by the Florida
Department of Health and there is a time restriction for this
upgrade.
Community association pools are often considered 'public pools' subject to
regulation by Chapter 514, Florida Statutes. Pools operated by private
condominium and cooperative associations with less than 32 units are generally
exempt from certain regulations, but still have to comply with water quality
standards. If the condominium or cooperative has more than 32 units, any pool
or spa is considered a 'public pool', unless the recorded governing
documents absolutely prohibit less than sixty (60) days rentals (or subleases in
the cooperative context). Condominium and cooperative associations must comply
with water quality standards and maintain the appropriate life saving equipment
regardless of these exceptions. Condominium and cooperative associations
desiring exempt status must file documents with the Department of Health and
receive an initial operating permit.
The Department of Health inspects public pools, including those at
condominiums, cooperatives and subdivisions, annually. Homeowners' Associations do not enjoy the same types of exceptions and
therefore must comply with requirements governing all public pools.
Don't take the risk of getting a
big fine - and a possible lawsuit if someone is injured in your
property's pool. Give Don
