Additional Information
Legal Information :
Law No. 2003-9 and the decree on its enforcement No. 2003 1389 were passed
in order to counteract the rising number of accidents and drowning in private
swimming pools for private or collective use.
These bills stipulate the following :
As of 1st January 2004, every new, private, open, in-ground swimming pool for
private or collective use must be equipped with a standardized safety device.
As of this date, the manufacturer or installer of such a swimming pool must supply
the owner with a technical sheet indicating the required device.
In the case of permanent or temporary transferal of ownership of the Gre By
VISIOPOOL® alarm, ensuring that the new user is in possession of all documents
that came with the appliance at the time of initial installation, including the original
packaging, is required.
The owners of open in-ground pools for private or collective use installed before 1st
January 2004 must have equipped their pool with a standardized safety device by
1st January 2006.
In the case of seasonal rental of the residence, a standardized safety device must be
installed before 1st May 2004.
It is essential to insist on active supervision by parents.
Information Concerning the Gre By VISIOPOOL® Alarm
The Gre By VISIOPOOL® alarm system is not a substitute for common sense or for
individual responsibility.
It is also not intended as a substitute for supervision by parents and/or responsible
adults, who are still the essential factor for the protection of children (most notably
those under 5 years of age).
The Gre By VISIOPOOL® device is an alarm system for open in-ground swimming
pools for private or collective use that indicates a danger (or risk of danger).
The rapid intervention (in under 3 minutes) of a responsible adult is obligatory when
the alarm is set off.
The device is made to be installed in pools of 12 x 5 m maximum in size (range : 7
meters). Beyond that, we recommend equipping the pool with additional protective
measures compliant to the French standard NF P90-307/A1.
The user who turns off the alarm signal must be aware that human supervision must
take over.
It is imperative to respond when the signal sounds.
The greatest vigilance of a parent or responsible adult is required in the interval
between the end of swimming and reactivation of "surveillance" mode.
In order to reduce the latent period, this mode can also be activated by applying the
