in venues identified as increased risk aquatic venues - Answers-secondary disinfection
systems

surface area of a rectangular pool - Answers-the horizontal area (or surface) of a
swimming pool, found by multiplying the length times width

surface area of a multisided pool - Answers-found by dividing the horizontal surface of
the swimming pool into sections

surface of a circular pool - Answers-πr2

maximum facility load - Answers-determined by diving the surface of the pool and diving
that number by 27, includes all the people at the facility, not just in the swimming pool

pool volume - Answers-the total amount of water, in gallons, contained in the interior of
a swimming pool

,turnover - Answers-the amount of time required for all of the pool's volume to pass
through the filtration system

filtration system (flow rate) in order to achieve the required turnover

maximum flow rate - Answers-the maximum amount of water which can pass through
the filter system

filtration system - Answers-piping (includes manifold & valves), pump (includes hair &
lint strainer), and the filter

the filtration system is used to remove.... - Answers-suspended particulate matter

filter (mechanical) room - Answers-houses the physical plant of the swimming pool

containers are placed in another one- all equipment is labeled clearly- filter room is dry,
properly ventilated, and has good lighting- filter room doors say "authorized personnel
only"

permanent filter specification placard - Answers-(or filter date sheet) with the volume of
the pool, minimum and maximum flow rate, turnover time in hours, the perimeter of the

address of the facility

activity pool - Answers-a water attraction designed for play activity including constructed

, holes to allow the filtered water to pass through but also small enough to prevent the
filter media from getting through to the pool, uses the top 6-12 inches of the filter bed

glass filter media filter - Answers-glasses (crushed glass) or recycled glass is more
efficient than sand, it filters at 15-20 gpm, no issues with calcification and channeling,
glass filter uses entire filter beds

conventional sand filter - Answers-an old filter that has a mixed media (sand, pea
gravel, gravel, rock, and stone) that is layered in the filter tank, the majority of filtration

two types of DE filters - Answers-pressure (sealed tanks) and vacuum (open tanks)

slurry feeding - Answers-a process where small amounts of DE are added into the filter
system to extend the filter run (amount of time between backwash cycles)

regenerative media filters - Answers-designed to save media and water costs, media
