CROSS-CONNECTIONS\nIn some parts of the plumbing system of the Swimming\nPool there is a possibility of the potable water supply\nsystem being polluted as a result of cross connections.\nIt is important that all such points of interconnection be\neliminated as follows:\nFirst\nAll potable water for pump filters and chemical\ntanks sho ld be supplied through an over-rim surge\ntank and the Swimming Pool recirculating water pump\npriming connections should be disconnected.\nSecond\nThe filter backwash line should discharge over-\nrim into a steel or concrete sump which would be con-\nnected to the sewer through a trap. The scum gutter\ndrain line and the vacuum cleaning discharge line from\nthe Swimming Pool should also discharge over-rim into\nthis sump.\nThe following is a list of locations of cross-connections\nto the potable water supply which should be corrected:\nA. WEST TERRACE\n(1) Swimming Pool. - Potable water is directly\nconnected to the pool filtered water supply\nline for pool make-up, to the chemical mix-\ning and supply tanks, and to the recirculat-\ning pump suction for priming purposes when\nthe pump is used for vacuum cleaning. The\nfilter backwash line, the scum gutter drains\n(through a connection with the backwash\ndrain pipe), and the vacuum cleaning wastes\ndischarge directly into the sewer.\n27. UNVENTED TRAPS\nTraps must be vented in order to prevent breaking the\nwater seal in the trap and allowing the sewer gas to escape\nthrough the trap, if the water seal is not continuously\nmaintained. The unvented trap in the following location\nshould be corrected by properly venting the waste piping:\n27\nC-69090"
