Pool Decks

Rosewood Farms Acworth, Georgia

Larger pool decks can increase the bather load. International Swimming Pool and Spa Code states: • Pools with minimum deck area = 15 square feet per user in the shallow area • Pools with deck twice the size of water surface area = 8 square feet per user • Providing shade to residents by adding a porch

on the bathhouse/clubhouse is helpful. • Pool tables should have L-brackets. • Self-closing gates are required.

Pool Maintenance and Equipment • Pools need curing and maintenance (approximately 3 months) until the HOA company assumes responsibility. • Auto fill lines must work at all times. • VGB serial numbers are needed with locations mapped.

• Chemical storage and janitorial supply storage should be separate from pool equipment to avoid equipment corrosion. • Pool equipment in a room supports longer usable life. • A pool equipment room should be well ventilated. • The pool equipment door should have exterior, commercial grade quality and have a ventilated grate.
