Swimming Pool Water Drainage System

During normal operation water flows to the filtering system through two or more main drains at the bottom of the pool and multiple skimmer drains around the top of the pool.

Swimming pool water drainage system.

Do not drain water from a salt pool into a septic system. Discharging swimming pool water the wrong way may harm the environment and violate regulations. Swimming pool drains or inlets originally served as conduits moving water between the pool and filter pumps. Of course if the drainage system that is in place is rusting cracking or otherwise breaking it may need replacing.

For example any water entering your yard from the pool absorbs into the soil but the large water volume inevitably has runoff into side gutters that drain out to municipal storm drains. A proper drainage system helps ensure that the water in your inground pool remains clean and protects your surrounding yard deck. These drainage systems contain a combination of main drains or inlets skimmers overflow gutters and return fittings to achieve these tasks. Check with a licensed plumber before draining pool water into a sanitary drain.

We ve already seen that the water in a swimming pool needs to circulate through a filtering system to remove dirt and debris. Use a licensed sewage handling service to dispose of the salt pool water properly.
