Fifteen minutes of preparation is regularly the difference between a certificate on the day and a $190 reinspection later. Work through this list before the inspector arrives.
Open each pool gate to three positions, wide open, halfway, and resting gently against the latch, and let go. It must swing fully closed and latch by itself from all three. If it fails from the resting position, adjust the hinge tension or self-closer before the inspection, because that exact test will be done on the day.
Do a slow lap of the barrier and look for:
Latch releases need to be high enough that a small child cannot reach them, and shielded where the rules require it. If your gate has sagged, the latch has probably dropped with it.
If the house wall forms part of the barrier, doors opening into the pool area and low windows have their own requirements, self-closing devices, locks or fixed screens depending on your state and pool age.
Signs cost about twenty dollars. If yours is sun-bleached to a ghost, swap it before the inspection rather than failing on the cheapest item on the list.
Precise gap measurements, glass panel fixings, and which barrier standard applies to your pool's construction date are inspector territory. That is what the inspection is for. Do the list above, then book your inspection knowing the easy failures are already handled.
