Joe & Vance, I just wanted to thank you again for building such a beautiful pool and outdoor entertainment area. We have gotten so many compliments and we are enjoying it immensely! We don't think it could have turned out any better...it's perfect! Carol and Bill

UV Ratings and What the Numbers Mean to You
The UV index is an international standard measurement of how strong the ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun is at a particular place on a particular day. It is a scale primarily used in daily forecasts aimed at the general public. Developed by the National Weather Service and EPA, it indicates the strength of solar UV radiation on a scale from 1 (low) to 11+ (extremely high). You can use the UV Index to take appropriate sun-protective behaviors and avoid overexposure to UV radiation.
Below are the precautions you should take provided the UV Index number:
| UV | Suggestion | |
|---|---|---|
| 0-2 | Minimal protection is needed – Wearing a hat is sufficient | |
| 3-4 | Low – Hat and sunscreen with at least SPF 15 is recommended | |
| 5-6 | Moderate – Wearing a hat, applying sunscreen with at least SPF 15 and taking shade whenever possible is recommended | |
| 7-9 | HIGH – In addition to the precautions recommended above, it is advised to stay indoors between 10am and 4pm | |
| 10+ | VERY HIGH – In addition to the precautions recommended above, it is advised to stay indoors if possible |
| Sunburn Time | ||
|---|---|---|
| Over 9 | Less than 15 minutes | |
| 7-9 | About 20 minutes | |
| 4-7 | About 30 minutes | |
| 0-4 | More than 1 hour | |
Take Precaution
- Seek shade whenever possible
- Wear protective clothing that covers your arms and legs as well as your body
- Wear a hat that shades your face and neck
- Wear wraparound sunglasses
- Apply SPF 30+ water-resistant sunscreen every 2 hours.
