🏊‍♂️ Summer 2025 Pool Safety Tips for Houston Families & Property Owners

As the Houston heat rises, so does the use of backyard pools, community splash zones, and short-term rental hot tubs. But while summer fun is top of mind, safety has to come first.

At Armantel, LLC, we’re more than just contractors—we’re property problem solvers. And in 2025, we’re seeing a huge need for proactive pool safety upgrades, inspections, and maintenance, especially for Airbnb properties and family homes.

Here’s how you can keep your property safe, smart, and code-compliant this summer:

🔒 1. Secure Your Pool Area

Texas law requires barriers around residential pools for a reason. Drowning is silent and fast—especially for kids under 5.

• ✅ Install self-latching gates

• ✅ Use fencing at least 48" high

• ✅ Eliminate climbable furniture or planters near pool fences

• ✅ Consider motion-activated lighting or security cameras

👀 2. Never Rely on Floaties

Arm floaties and pool noodles are toys—not lifesaving devices.

• 🛟 Always have USCG-approved life vests for non-swimmers

• 👁️ Maintain active supervision—no distractions, no phones

💡 3. Add a Pool Alarm or Smart Sensor

2025 has brought some fantastic tech options for pool safety.We can help install smart water sensors that alert you if anyone enters the pool unsupervised.

Great for:

• 🏠 Airbnb rentals

• 👶 Homes with kids

• 👵 Seniors living alone

🧰 4. Schedule a Summer Safety Inspection

🧼 5. Don’t Forget Cleanliness

Warm weather + water = perfect storm for bacteria.

• Keep filters clean and pumps running

• If you're renting your property, consider weekly maintenance for guests' safety and satisfaction
