Jerry,
The only reference I could find in NFPA 13 is not a direct
requirement, but rather is annex material to support 6.2.6.1on areas
where corrosion resistant sprinklers are required. One of the examples
is "areas over and around swimming pools", which sort of suggest those
areas are to be sprinklered.
I haven't looked at the Building or Fire Code.

I know that, at one time, there was a 'blurb' about sprinkler protection over swimming
pool areas. We have just spent a fairly significant amount of time looking for the
'requirement' in recent editions of 13 - and have been unable to find a specific
citation. Aside from "all areas are required to be sprinklered..." can anyone
assist us with a specific reference to swimming pool areas (hotel/motels, et al) - in any
Code - needing to be sprinkler protected. I remember reading about the possibility of the
pool being emptied and the pool itself and/or surrounding areas being used for 'storage'
of combustible materials, but that was years ago...
Any assistance will be much appreciated - we are performing a third-party
review and our PE/FPE is stuck.
Regards to All. Gracias!!

It's also in NFPA 25 for good measure.

I know I've seen it somewhere but can someone point me to the section of
NFPA-13 that says once you remove a head you have to replace it with a new one?
