Jim,
This is really helpful, thanks.
Jay, see below for Jim’s response. Hopefully, the fact that this water is filtered prior to draining will alleviate any
concerns from the City.
Thanks,
Jordan

Hi Jordan,
The pool (and spa) will not have a “drain”. Draining of the pool (and spa) takes place in the equipment room via the filter
equipment and into the floor drain in the room (with an air gap – no direct connect). It is a slow controlled process
through a 1” valved pipe that slowly bleeds the water out into the floor drain. The floor drain is usually tied into the
sanitary sewer system of the house.
It should be noted that pools are rarely ever drained (unless neglected) – maybe once every 8 ‐15 years. The spa may be
drained more often – but it is a relatively small volume of water.
I believe the city has been ok in the past with the pool draining slowly to sewer –it is fairly common, especially with
commercial pools. They typically do not want it to go to storm. If the city does not want any pool water in the sewer
ever (or if the house is on a septic system) – then the pool water would need to be trucked out or dechlorinated and
pumped onto the property (if allowed) with a submersible pump.
Hope this helps.
