(A) In private residential swimming pools, 30 feet in width or less, water circulation system outlets shall be located so as to provide at least one outlet at the deepest point in the pool. If the pool width is more than 30 feet, multiple outlets shall be provided and spaced not more than 30 feet apart, nor closer than four feet to any wall. All pool drain outlets shall be equipped with gratings having an area of openings not less than four times the cross-sectional area of the outlet pipe. The gratings shall be of such design so they cannot be readily removable by bathers and will not injure bathers' fingers. One outlet shall be provided for each 800 square feet of surface area.
(B) Pools shall be equipped with facilities for completely emptying the pool and the discharge of the pool water to the sewer shall be at a rate not exceeding 250 gallons per minute. No direct connection shall be made to the sewer.
(C) Drain outlet fittings from the pool shall not be directly connected to a sewer line. Drainage shall be by gravity or by pumping or siphoning onto the ground or into the top of a basin or sump located ahead of the storm sewer. The discharge of pool water into the sanitary sewer is prohibited.
