I. SWIMMING POOL

1. Balancing Tank Sizing

Area:

Swimming Pool = 102.1 m2

Volume:

= 102.1m2 x 1.5m (Approximately. Ht 1.5m)

= 153.15m3

Bathing Loads:

< 1.5 m deep : 1.394 m2/person

> 1.5 m deep : 1.819 m2/person

Total number of bathers = 75 Persons

Amount of Displaced Water = Wave Displacement + Bather Displacement

a. Wave Displacement = Pool Area x 0.02 m

= 102.1 x 0.02 m
= 2.04 m3

b. Bather Displacement = No. of bathers x 0.05 m3/p

= 75 x 0.05 m3/p
= 3.75 m3

Total Required Volume = 2.04 + 3.75

= 5.79 m3
+ 10% = 6.34 m3

Balancing Tank = (3.0 x 1.5 x 1.5 Depth)

2. Filter Calculation

Total Volume = 153.15 m3

Turnover Rates:
Pool = 6 hrs.

153.15 m3
Total Q =
6 hr
= 25.53 m3/hr
= 425.5 L/min
Say 425.5 L/min (112.4 GPM)

Using 4-pump systems

(3-nos. pump duty; 1-no. standby)

Filter Pump = 141.83 L/min (37.47 GPM)

Compute for TDH

1.Min.Residual - 15 psi. 34.65 ft.

2.Diff.Pressure - 20 psi. 46.20 ft.
3.Static Head - 4m 13.12 ft.

Friction Head loss Rate = 42.28 ft/1000 ft = 0.04

Total losses at piping = 328 + 448.90 = 776.90 ft

Head loss due to friction = 776.90 x 0.04 = 31.08 ft

TDH = 125.05 ft ≈ 54.13 psi

Hp = 3.23

Based on filter capacity of 37.07 m3/hr/m2

540 gpm

3. Back Wash Tank

Vol. = Backwash rate in gpm/ft2 x area of filter in ft2 5 min.

4. Chlorination

1 lb. of chlorine per 10,000 gals of pool water every 8 hours

Volume of Pool = 153.15 m3

Chlorination ≈ 40457.95gals.
