§ 39-35. Deck generally.  


Latest version.
  • (a)

    There shall be a deck at least four (4) feet wide extending around the entire perimeter of a public swimming pool. The deck shall be constructed of concrete or other approved material. The material shall have a nonslip but smooth finish. The deck shall have a pitch of not less than one-eighth ( 1/8 ) of an inch nor more than five-eighths ( 5/8 ) of an inch to the foot and be designed so as to conduct drainage away from the pool area in a manner that will not create or maintain pools of water or become a health nuisance.

    (b)

    If the recirculation system is designed for water to enter the bottom and overflow the top or near the top of the pool, then adequate drainage of the scum and floating material from the deck must be provided. This may be a continuous drain or multiple drains. In multiple drains, each drain grating shall have a total orifice area of at least four (4) times the cross-sectional area of the drainpipe, which shall have minimum diameter of two and one-half (2½) inches. In the use of drain channels, continuous around the perimeter of the pool, the channel grating shall be designed so as not to create a hazard to fingers and toes and be resistant to corrosion.
