Local conditions
What Florida pools have to handle
Water below, storms above and strict safety rules. Each fact comes with a source you can check.
Groundwater close to the surface
In much of Florida, the shallow aquifer starts right at the land surface.[1] Groundwater can push up on an empty pool and lift it out of the ground. That is why the Florida Swimming Pool Association says not to drain a pool without expert advice.[2]
A six-month hurricane season
Atlantic hurricane season runs from June 1 to November 30.[3] Before a storm, the FSPA says to keep the pool full, shock the water, turn off the breakers and move loose items.[2]
Screen enclosures have their own code
The Florida Building Code has a section just for screen enclosures. It sets the wind loads they must handle, and removable panels must come off when winds pass 75 mph.[4]
Every new home pool needs a safety feature
To pass final inspection, a new home pool needs at least one: a barrier, an approved safety cover, door alarms, self-closing doors or a pool alarm. A barrier must be at least 4 feet high on the outside.[5]

Common questions
Questions about pools in Florida
Does Pool Era work in Florida?
Yes. Availability depends on where your pool is. Send your town or ZIP code with your inquiry and we will confirm what is available.
Should I drain my pool before a hurricane?
No. The Florida Swimming Pool Association says to keep it full. The weight of the water helps keep the pool from lifting out of the ground. If rain overfills it, drain it back to its normal level.
How tall does a pool fence need to be in Florida?
Under Florida law, a pool barrier must be at least 4 feet high on the outside. A barrier is one of several safety options a new home pool can use to pass final inspection.
