Not something I'm proud of, but did this twice. Routine painting - think they empty the hotel or have a fire watch?
Have a minimum of two full-sized suction grates at least 6' apart so no one can block both entry points. Oversize since you're not likely to be able to have a vortex plate in the pool. Could run from pool to a wet well and use vertical turbine to avoid vortex plate, but we had insurance engr witness acceptance test and he ok'd the lack of vortex plate since there was no sign of a vortex creating a problem even at 150%. Tell your pump vendor, there are material substitutions to be made in the pump internals to address the chlorine. As for compatibility, check Lubrizol compatibility page or their techies, I beleiv it would have to be incredibly high to be a problem- but I could be wong. glc -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Matt Grise Sent: Friday, September 24, 2010 8:29 AM To: '[email protected]' Subject: RE: Pool as a water source Speaking of the kids...what are the procedures for 'not sucking small children into pumps'? I have heard of issues with kids being trapped by water circulating pumps in pools, this seems like it would be a much more serious issue.

Just hope the kids can get out of the pool quickly...

Anybody do this before? Seems like there would be too many problems with the chlorine in the water damaging the system components.
