• All components shall be made of non-toxic materials and must be reasonably resistant to
corrosion under operating conditions.
• Components must be strong enough to be able to withstand pressures 150 % of normal
operating conditions.
• Piping must be installed in such a manner that they do not pose a hazard to the users.
• Pipes must comply with the following sizes and fl ow rates show in the following table,
unless accompanied by a hydraulic design:
PIPE SIZE 32mm 38mm 50mm 63mm 76mm 100mm 150mm
GPM PRESSURE SIDE 25 60 90 140 220 350 800

The total dynamic head of the reticulation system shall be calculated. In the absence of any calculations
the following table may be used:
DISTANCE FROM THE MAIN DRAIN TO THE PUMP TOTAL DYNAMIC HEAD (TDID)
300 – 7620 mm 55
7620 – 15240 mm 60
15240 – 22860 mm 65
22860 – 30480 mm 70
30480 – 38100 mm 75
38100 - 45720 80
Beyond 45720 mm Calculations are Required
PUMPS AND MOTORS
Pumps and motors are to be installed on each water circulation system and shall conform to the
following:
• Pumps must be sized to meet but exceed the fl ow rates required for fi ltering against the
total head developed by the complete water circulation system.
• Pumps must be sized to comply with the required turnover rates.
Swimming
• All equipment must be readily and easily accessible for inspection, maintenance and repair.
When pumps are installed below the waterline, valves must be installed on permanently
connected suction and return lines. The valves must be removable when required.
