Richard W. Endlar established the Richard W. Endlar Insurance Agency in 1975 after many years in the insurance industry. The Richard W. Endlar Insurance Agency was located at 210 Boylston Street in Chestnut Hill, Massachusetts until February 2000 when a major fire necessitated a move to new quarters. The agency is now located at the Rosemary Office Park in Needham, Massachusetts, centrally located from route #128.
The Richard W. Endlar Insurance Agency currently insures over 1,500 condominium associations, making us one of the largest writers of this class of business in Massachusetts. Depend on us for our expertise and our extensive list of insurance markets.
Pool and Spa Safety Regulations
 
Now that winter has passed it's time to start thinking about opening the pool.
 
The insurance industry has started to send warnings about new pool safety regulations since the passage of the "Virginia Graeme Baker Pool and Spa Safety Act". The act requires that pool and spa drains meet certain safety standards to avoid suction entrapment. Former U.S. Secretary of State James Baker sponsored the legislation after his granddaughter Virginia Graeme Baker, died in 2002 when a spa drain tragically entrapped her under water.
 
We anticipate that all insurance carriers will be requiring compliance. Some of the insurance carriers will be asking pool safety drain questions on their annual applications. Other insurance carriers will be alerting their safety inspectors to determine if your pool drains are in compliance. Failure to comply may cause cancellation or non-renewal of your insurance.
 
We suggest you read the notification to understand the new Safety Act:
 
 
 
See Information from the US Consumer Product Safety Commission
 
 
There is a long list of pool companies that sell safety drains on the US Consumer Product Safety website shown above. See the link to Hayward Pool Products since this manufacturer is more local.
