It’s that time of year, SUMMER! Do you want a  pool or spa? Well besides being concerned about drowning, you need to think about the dangers of deadly shock. What is deadly shock? A severe medical condition. Here are some essential pool and spa electrical safety tips.

  • Keep all outdoor receptacles covered and dry
  • Make sure all equipment is grounded. It helps prevent electrocutions and electric shock
  • All cords and devices should be at least 10 feet away from water
  • You should try to use battery-operated appliances
  • Make sure you do not touch any of the electrical pieces wet
  • Make sure all power lines are not hovering over the pool or spa
