Mississippi Pool Code Requirements
Mississippi does not have a statewide public pool code administered by the Mississippi State Department of Health for swimming pools and spas. The Mississippi State Department of Health states that it does not regulate swimming pools and spas, no permits are required, and its published pool and spa guidance is recommendations only rather than enforceable requirements.
Mississippi government health guidance does provide recommended health and safety practices for swimming pools and spas, including sanitation, disinfectant levels, drain cover safety, and general operating practices intended to support swimmer safety.
The Mississippi State Department of Health materials recommend pool and spa safety guidance, but they do not establish a statewide enforceable pool phone code requirement for these facilities.

Frequently Asked Pool Code Phone Questions
What is a pool telephone?
A pool phone, as the name suggests, is a communication device positioned in close proximity to public swimming pools, usually within 200 unobstructed feet of the pool in most states. Its primary purpose is to enable users to make emergency calls and connect to help when needed.
How do I determine if I need an emergency pool phone?
In many states, there are legal requirements mandating the presence of an emergency phone in close proximity to a pool. Regardless of legal requirements, having a pool telephone is a proactive measure to prevent potential tragedies and reduce your liability.
Can MyLinkLine monitor pool phones purchased from another company?
Certainly. We can monitor and reprogram pool phones from any manufacturer, including those already integrated into existing car operating panels. Our monitoring services do not require any additional equipment.
How can I ensure the proper functioning of my pool phone?
The best way to ensure your emergency phone is working correctly is through periodic manual testing.
Can pool phones be directly programmed to dial 911?
While it is possible to program pool telephones to dial 911 for emergency dispatch, it is generally discouraged. Most 911 dispatch centers prefer that pool telephones do not tie up emergency lines with non-emergency or prank calls. Additionally, fines may be imposed for dispatching emergency personnel to non-emergency situations. Therefore, we do not recommend relying solely on 911 for handling pool telephone calls.
Do you provide nationwide installation of pool telephones?
Absolutely! MyLinkLine Communications Inc. boasts over two decades of experience in the field of telecommunications solutions. Our extensive range of pool telephone products and services is available throughout the United States, Canada, and Mexico.

This approach ensures that you have all the information necessary to make the best decision for your specific requirements.

What are the regulations regarding pool telephones in the United States?
Regulations governing pool telephones are typically determined at the local level, often varying from state to state. You can find information on pool phone laws specific to your state here.
Should a pool phone use a landline or cellular connection?
Both landline and cellular connections can be employed for pool phones, with the choice typically depending on the specific needs of your property. Cellular lines are often preferred to avoid the costs associated with trenching for new landline telephone service, and our cellular solution is cost-effective compared to traditional landlines.
