Rules for kids and pools "Drowning is the most preventable death among children in the Valley.” Capt. Rob McDade, Phoenix Fire Department

By Debra Gelbart

any folks in Arizona are opting to have a beautiful pool built in their new home’s backyard. But did you know that if you have a child under age 6 in your household, you need to have a barrier fence between the house and the pool? It’s not just common sense — it’s the law.

General requirements Listed below are the general requirements for a pool enclosure in Arizona (check with your city or town for more detailed requirements). • A pool with at least 18 inches of water that’s more than eight-feet wide — whether in-ground or above-ground — must be surrounded by a fence that’s at least five-feet high and is located no less than 20 inches away from the water’s edge. • No object with a diameter of four inches or more can fit through the links or slats of the fence. • Footholds or handholds are not allowed on the exterior of the fence. • The access gate into the pool must be self-closing and self-latching and the latch must be at least 54 inches above the ground. • Pool gates must be equipped to accommodate a locking device. • The access gate must open outward, away from the pool.

“Make sure you put the lock on any doggiedoors leading out to the backyard. Every year, we have a child fatality in a backyard swimming pool where they made access through a pet-door.”

Preferred fencing material Wrought iron is the preferred material for a pool fence, said Lori Schmidt, president of the Drowning Prevention Coalition of Arizona and public information officer for the Scottsdale Fire Department. “We don’t like chain-link fences because they provide toeholds for little ones to scramble over,” she said. “The law may allow them, but they really aren’t a great barrier to keeping people out of a pool area.”

s you get ready to select a dishwasher for your new home, top manufacturers such as Bosch and Whirlpool want you to keep some things in mind including all of the enhanced features available with many dishwasher models. Some of these attributes include: Smaller size: Bosch’s 18-inch compact dishwasher is one type of solution for a small kitchen. “Although smaller in size, the flexible loading features offered in these dishwashers make a big impact,” said Alona Wells, senior category manager of Dishcare for Bosch.

Rack and basket versatility: Dishwashers with a third rack free-up space for dishes in the racks below, said Katie Sadler, a kitchen brand manager for Whirlpool. “Whirlpool has a thirdrack dishwasher with extra wash action in the third-level rack to provide targeted cleaning for bowls, mugs and utensils that you’d normally load in the lower racks,”

Smart capabilities: Dishwashers with smart technology features help consumers keep tabs on their dishwasher from almost anywhere via a smart device. These types of smart options can allow you to have capabilities such as: • The ability to download apps for access to customized features and cycle combination preferences • A remote-start option • Hands-free voice control operation via Amazon Alexa or Google Assistant Lower decibel levels: Higher-end dishwashers now are available with decibel levels as low as 38 while decibel levels in the 40s are now standard among many models at varying price-points.

Pre-Qualiﬁcation vs Pre-Approval Source: Kristy Smith, Scottsdale branch manager, loanDepot

xperts advise that before you set out to shop for a new home, it’s a good idea to launch the loan process. We recently asked Kristy Smith, Scottsdale branch manager for loanDepot, to explain the difference between prequalification and pre-approval. “Pre-qualiﬁcation is the beginning of the loan approval process,” she said. “Getting pre-qualified involves a conversation with your loan consultant about your monthly income, existing monthly debts, credit history and how much money you’ve saved for a downpayment. The lender can provide some general direction on how much you can afford and what type of loan products would best suit your needs.”

Cachet Homes

Getting pre-approved, Smith said, is the process in which the lender verifies all of the information you provided in the pre-qualification process. This begins with completing the loan application then gathering the documents to verify your income (e.g.: paystubs, W-2 forms

and tax returns) and verifying the cash needed to close by reviewing your bank statements and a credit report. “This can be done through our digital verification process or the borrower can provide copies of these documents to the loan consultant,” Smith said.

Builder trade-in program Gates, locks and doggie-doors “Drowning is the most preventable death among children here in the Valley,” said Capt. Rob McDade, acting division chief of public affairs for the Phoenix Fire Department. “When we talk about barriers and protecting children from pool drownings, it’s important to get into the mindset of multiple barriers — not just one barrier. In addition to a self-closing self-latching gate, you need to have a lock on that gate with either a combination that you and another adult know or a key that’s hidden in a place where children cannot reach it.” If the garage has access into the backyard, the pedestrian door opening — from the garage to the pool — must be protected with a fence or self-closing door to ensure a child doesn’t enter the pool area. Also, on each door leading to the backyard (including sliding glass doors and pet-doors), install a childproof lock high enough where a child can’t reach it.

“Follow the ABCs of water safety: Adult supervision, Barriers and CPR training.” —Tiffany Copp, City of Surprise

Constant adult supervision In addition to multiple physical barriers, McDade emphasized that adults must focus on the most important barrier: constant adult supervision. “This is always your first line of defense,” he said. “Know where your children are at all times.” Relevant information resource One easy way to check for pool and barrier requirements is to contact your city’s building department, said Tiffany Copp, community development assistant director for the City of Surprise. They will have the relevant information and requirements and should be able to easily provide it to you; just ask for it.

the top of the “food chain of flooring” is engineered hardwood where the finished layer is real wood such as oak or hickory. Wood-flooring has traditionally required a lot of maintenance, but today’s hardwood products can be coated so spills won’t hurt them, Taylor said. This easy maintenance is similar with the new vinyl planks which install the same as laminates. Up until recently, carpets have been very tough to maintain with pets but waterproof products are now available. Meaning, if you have animals and you want carpet, ask your new-home builder about this option.

Flooring 101 Which products best anchor your lifestyle?

By David M. Brown

he flooring you select for your new home depends on who’s going to be walking on it, playing on it and pawing and/or clawing it. The various products all offer advantages

but how you intend to use a particular space — and who’s using it — is of great importance in determining which flooring choices are best for you. What to consider What’s your budget? How much traffic will the area have? Are children or grandchildren in the home often or always? What’s the pet population? How many spills can be expected? Are there stairs in the home? Ask yourself these

questions and related ones and then discuss everything with your builder’s design center representatives, said Mitch Taylor, founder and president of Sun Citybased BRAM Flooring. Variety of products There are many beautiful budgetfriendly and mid-range flooring products (laminates, tile and many more), but according to Von L. Payne, president of Chandler-based East Valley Floors Inc.,

Design center visit When you visit your builder’s design center, be sure to ask to see various flooring samples and even room vignettes incorporating these. This is also a good time to ask questions about flooring warranties. In addition to visiting the design center, Taylor suggested new-home buyers visit models for ideas. For example, irregularly shaped tiles and larger planks are trending. “Instead of the 12-by-12-inch tiles, buyers are gravitating to 12-by-24, 16-by-32 and other sizes,” he said. “And in engineered hardwood, we’re seeing nineinches wide by up to eight-feet long.”
