Pool Glass & Fence
Your home has frameless glass in two pool-related applications.
A. Pool Fence (Frameless 12 mm Toughened Glass, 1200 mm high)
Section titled “A. Pool Fence (Frameless 12 mm Toughened Glass, 1200 mm high)”⚠️ CAUTION — Pool fence compliance is a legal requirement in South Australia
Non-compliant fencing can result in fines and creates a serious safety risk. Test the self-closer every month.
- Inspect hinges, latches, and self-closers monthly. The gate must self-close and latch from any position.
- Clean glass panels with an ammonia-free glass cleaner and a soft microfibre cloth. Streak-free finish is best achieved with a squeegee.
- Do not use razor blades, scouring pads, or abrasive cleaners — these will scratch toughened glass.
- For stubborn marks or hard-water spotting, use a 50/50 white vinegar and water solution. Do not leave on the surface more than 2 minutes.
- Do not hang towels, pool toys, or any objects on the pool fence.
- A CPR sign must be displayed within the pool area at all times — this is a legal requirement.
B. Pool Tiles — Glass Mosaic (The Pool Tile Company, codes CMC114 + CMC115)
Section titled “B. Pool Tiles — Glass Mosaic (The Pool Tile Company, codes CMC114 + CMC115)”Grout is Ardex EG 15 Easy Clean Epoxy (Misty Grey 641).
- Maintain proper pool water chemistry (pH 7.2–7.6, sanitiser per pool builder’s spec) to prevent calcium build-up and grout deterioration.
- Brush the waterline weekly using a soft pool brush to prevent algae and calcium build-up.
- Do not use acid wash on pool tiles unless recommended by a pool professional. Acid can damage glass mosaic finish and epoxy grout.
- Check tiles annually for any loose or cracked units. Tony Romeo is your first call.
Pool Fence Compliance Documents
Section titled “Pool Fence Compliance Documents”Two compliance documents are in your handover pack:
- Pool Fence Compliance Certificate (legal compliance to AS 1926)
- Pool Barrier Inspection Report (inspection record)
Both must be retained for life of the pool. They will be required for any future property sale.
