Section F How much is the reinspection charge – IF the pool is not compliant?
We have mandated a MAXIMUM CHARGE as your pool inspector can choose to charge you less or even zero.

If your base charge is $130+GST as per your invoice, then the MAXIMUM CHARGE would be $97.50+GST. NOTE THIS IS A "MAXIMUM" CHARGE and may be reduced at the discretion of the inspector.
K.T. has an in-force agreement with all accredited partner Pool Safety Inspectors that they will act in accordance with Pool Safety Inspectors published code of conduct and this extends to the charging regime when a pool barrier is deemed as non-compliant.
