Viginia Graeme Baker Pool & Spa Safety Act Seminars

I just returned from teaching a class on the Virginia Graeme Baker Pool and Spa Safety Act for the State of Tennessee's Department of Health, Division of Environmental Health's Upper Cumberland Region. The attendees were great and asked very good questions. We had approximately 30 owner/operators and around a dozen inspectors.

We covered the basics of the new VGB Act, who is qualified to do this type of assessment and work, what to expect from the Tennessee Health Inspectors, what it means to fully comply with the Virginia Graeme Baker Pool and Spa Safety Act (VGBP&SSA), and what you should expect if you do not comply.

We also discussed various solutions for VGB Act compliance for both dual and single main drains, comparing the Vac-Alert, Stingle and The Emotron PSP20, (which I favor by far the most).

Everyone seemed to find it very informative and were appreciative.

I will be teaching another seminar inconjuction with the State of Tennessee's Department of Health in Greeeneville, TN on April 22, 2009. If you would like to attend, please contact me at service@callthepoolguy.com.
