A pair of markings shall be placed at each successive one-foot increment of depth, except depth markings shall not be required to be placed less than four feet apart. In addition the minimum, maximum, and five-foot depths shall be so designated near the water level and on the pool deck near the pool edge. Depth markings on irregularly shaped pools shall designate depths at all major deviations in shape as well as conform to the other requirements of this section.
