Temperature of air to be no more than 6 degrees below water temperature. ~ Wet deck - single channel. ~ Water to be earthed. ~ Internal pool surface and pool surrounds shown as tiled. Tiles or other suitable surface to be non-slip; ensure a high level of slip resistance to tiles on the ramp (vertical surfaces of tiling do not need to be slip resistant). ~ Pool blanket is optional for insulation for energy conservation. ~ Hydraulic hoist may be required; weight rating to be confirmed at project level to suit service requirements. ~ Underwater pressure jets for therapeutic purposes are optional. ~ Departmental planning to provide external windows is recommended. ~ Disinfection system to be advised by expert consultant. ~ Pool may be made available to the community after-hours and on the weekends.
