AS 1926.3:2003 PDF Download

For the design and installation of skimmer boxes and other permanent water exits in swimming pools, the AS 1926.3:2003 standard offers a set of recommendations and specifications. By addressing potential concerns related to the water recirculation systems, this standard's primary goal is to protect the safety of those utilizing these pools.

The standard addresses a number of water outlet-related topics, such as their placement, size, and construction type. It gives guidelines for the construction of skimmer boxes, which are in charge of clearing debris from the water's surface, as well as other fixed water outlets that guarantee proper pool water recirculation. The requirements of the standard are intended to prevent accidents that could happen as a result of the operation of these water recirculation systems, such as entrapment or entanglement.
