OAR 333-060-0115
Overflow Systems

All public swimming pools shall be operated with a continuous overflow. Overflow systems shall be either of the perimeter type or a series of surface skimmers:

(1)

A perimeter type overflow system shall be used at all general-use public swimming pools and at limited-use public swimming pools which are greater than 30 feet (9.1m) in width or have more than 2,500 square feet of surface area. Such perimeter system shall:

(a)

Extend completely around the pool;

(b)

Have a gutter which is smooth, cleanable and provides positive drainage.

(2)

A perimeter-type or skimmer-type overflow system shall be used at all limited-use public swimming pools less than 30 feet (9.1m) in width or with less than 2,500 square feet of surface area:

(a)

Where skimmers are used, there shall be one skimmer for each 400 square feet of surface area, with a minimum of two skimmers;

(b)

Skimmers shall be located so as to achieve effective skimming action over the entire surface area of the pool.

(3)

Intentionally left blank —Ed.

(a)

Perimeter overflow systems shall be connected to the recirculation system with a system surge capacity of at least one gallon per square foot of pool surface. External surge systems shall be capable of transferring water at a rate equal to 100 percent of the design pool flow rate. Gutters shall drain in two minutes or less after sudden flooding;

(b)

Pools with perimeter overflow systems shall be provided with surge tanks unless predesigned and prefabricated to use in-gutter of in-pool surge. Surge tanks shall have a capacity of one gallon per square foot of pool surface.

(4)

Overflow systems shall be designed so as to return overflow water to the recirculation system ahead of the filters. Provisions shall be made for diverting gutter water to waste when cleaning the gutter.

(5)

Pools built prior to 1971 which were constructed without the overflow system being connected to the recirculation system shall satisfy this requirement by overflowing at least daily provided the water quality parameters of Pool Water Quality OAR 333-060-0200 (Pool Water Quality) and Table 3 are met.
