Calculations
1.Surface Area :
2
pool area=( 6 ×6 ) + ( 8 ×8 )+ (10 × 10 ) + ( 12× 12 )−( 3 ×3 )−( 4 × 4 )−( 2 ×2 )=315 m

2. Volume :

v 4= ( 12×12−4 × 4 ) × 3.5=448 m

Total volume = 771.4 m3

3. Circulation rate :
Turn over period = 6 hours .
v total 1000
Circulation water capacity = 6 hr =128.566× 60 =2142.777 lpm

4. Pump selection :
Filter pressure = 10 m

Outlet gutting pressure = 7 m

Head loss in pipe and filtering = 3 m

Total Head = 20 m * 1.2 = 24 m

5. Main drain :

Use inlet fitting of 1.5 ⸗ ( 40 mm ) size.

Velocity at inlets = 2 meter per second at 1 psi head .

Allow surge tank capacity of ( 20 – 40 ) m2of pool area .

Volume of surge tank = 30 ×315=9450 l=9.45 m3

Depth of surge tank ¿ b × c × d

assuming width=lenght we get

9.45=3.5 b

b=1.64 ≅ 1.7 m

Total depth = depth + free board

¿ 3.5+0.3=3.8 m

effective volume=3.5 ×1.7 × 1.7

¿ 10.115m >9.45 m ∴ Safe

∴ Use tank dimentions 1.7 × 1.7 ×3.8

10.Filter selection :
Total flow = 2141.77 lpm

Use two filter each hi – rate sand filter ( permanent medial ) at flow
