Default Atmospheric Vacuum Relief Pool Equipment

Has anyone seen a residential pool with an Atmospheric Pool Vacuum Relief system installed?

Any advise concerning the installation or requirements of this system would be appreciated.

Pictures would also be helpful.

Very good information.

Have you run accross any?

I haven't done any new pools so I haven't seen any and would not be sure how to recognize them.

Peter,

Unless you are CPO-CPI Certified or the equivalent I would suggest deferring to a qualified service provider. There are many out there for $75.00 on up $30.00 is ridiculously low, imo. If you need the name of someone call me. Exhaustive runs about $500-600

Way too much diversification of equipment and liability for the minimal financial return and does your E&O apply?

TREC SOP do not scratch the standards that should be applied for a real pool inspection.

Now I know one reason why I haven't seen them.

Of the various cities I have checked with in the DFW area, they don't require them yet.

But its a comin soon as a building requirement !
