(A) Swimming pool water recirculation system outlets shall be so located as to provide at least one outlet at the deepest point in the pool, If the pool width does not exceed 20 feet. If the pool width exceeds 20 feet, multiple outlets shall be provided and spaced not more than 20 feet apart nor more than ten feet from the pool walls. All pool drain outlets shall be equipped with gratings having an area of openings not less than ten times the cross-sectional area of the outlet pipe. There shall be no protrusions from the gratings in which the toes, fingers or swim suit of a bather could be caught.
(B) A pool 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. The drainage system shall be constructed in conformIty with all applicable city regulations. The drain pipe line diameter shall be at least six inches.
(C) Drain pipe lines from walk areas, scum gutters and pools shall discharge into a common catch basin. If elevation permits, the catch basin may drain by gravity into the sewer. If, however, the elevations are such as to require pumping, the combined discharge shall be pumped into the sewer. In either case, a back-water valve or gate shall be installed downstream from the catch basin and the pump. Water drained from the pool shall not be discharged to the sewer system during periods of rain or storms. At no time shall the rate of drain water discharge exceed a flow of 250 gallons per minute.
(D) All drainage lines shall be connected with and discharge into the sanitary sewer system, provided, however, that all drainage lines may be connected to the storm sewer system if such system is underground from the point of connection to Millcreek and the water drained through such lines meets city and/or state health standards.
