Pool depth markers - our numbered tiles - act as a crucial safety measure and are typically mandatory in commercial, public, and semi-public swimming pools. They're also frequently required for rental properties listed on platforms like VRBO and Airbnb. We provide a variety of Porcelain (for permanent installations) and Vinyl (for temporary placements) markers, available in standard and metric units, and in both smooth and abrasive textures.
Our Porcelain markers are made using a screen printing process with ceramic glazes, followed by kiln firing, ensuring they remain vibrant for years to come. The Vinyl markers are printed on an outdoor, textured adhesive base with UV-cured ink that resists fading.
Smooth markers are typically applied at the waterline, while the abrasive ones - also referred to as anti-skid or deck markers - are used on the pool deck. The latter features a silica sand coating fired over the print, providing a safe, non-slip surface for wet feet.
The font size for commercial pools, either 4 or 5 inches, is typically dictated by local building and health regulations. Many regions in the USA stipulate a 5-inch font size. However, certain jurisdictions, like Florida and Texas, often require a 4-inch font. In some cases, metric markers may also be needed. You can consult our conversion chart here.
