Easy to understand

The Self Assessment Manual (The SAM) is the world’s first digital checklist for swimming pool compliance in NSW.

That means that if you jump onto the platform, you all “dance to the same beat”. The SAM sorts out the discourse by giving everyone a language they can relate to and the platform connects everyone in the one place. So owners, property managers, inspectors and fencing contractors know what each other is talking about.

The website, eBooks (and soon) the inspection app, connect together to save you time and money.

Don't get caught

The new legislation is here and the bad news is that 98% of swimming pools are non-compliant. Did you know that the average cost of making these swimming pools compliant is $1400 or more excluding inspection and lodgement fees. Older pools can cost upwards of $3500 – $4500 to make compliant excluding inspection and lodgement fees.

At the shallow end you may just have to replace an out of date CPR sign, which will cost you over $300 dollars for a compliance certificate and at the deep end a 30 year old swimming pool with multiple boundaries will give you that sinking feeling when the quote comes in.

Your Dynamic Duo

The SAM & BOO is free for pool owners, tenants and properties managers. This short FREE quick compliance guide is packed full of general swimming pool safety tips and is also designed to identify danger hot spots from a professionals point of view.

Added to this why not also sign up to Boo’s blog. This informative blog will help keep you informed on matters like “will it increase an owners insurance premium if a pool is not compliant?”. It will also enable you to keep informed of any future changes in swimming pool laws. Plus you will receive a seasonal alert to check openings for movement after winter rains.

An A to Z Guide to everything

The SAM WORX is the A to Z of everything you need to know to make a pool barrier compliant (especially older pool barriers with multiple types of fences)

The WORX shows you how to extend the height of aluminium, paling and ColorBond fencing. How to install tilt battens and make templates for tilt panels. How to sharpen drill bits so you don’t crack that piece of expensive acyclic (Perspex) you paid so much for.

And gives you all sorts of ways and tricks of the trade to make your barrier compliant in the simplest possible way.

And to make it even simpler; product descriptions are also listed so you’re in and out of the hardware store, while people without a SAM WORX’s are still trying to figure out what a tilt batten is!

A no nonsense guide

Whether you’re in deep or just testing the water, you can often find the pool being heated up by a wallet that’s burning a hole in your pocket.

The problem is knowing how big the hole is going to be. Calling out a swimming pool inspector can lock you into a 90 day countdown to compliance.

The SAM makes it so simple to select sections that apply to your pool and walk you through each potential compliance issue, simply asking a question with a visual representation of the issue and if the answer is NO; a rectification explanation is supplied.

Unlike any generalised check list, The SAM is very specific (the aluminium gate section has 15 questions to answer) so a pool owner can figure out what is compliant and what is not and has a solution to fix it.
