Very true, good point. How about a vertical inline at the deep end ? :) -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Richard Mote Sent: Thursday, July 12, 2007 6:54 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: pool as water source
One thing that hasn't been mentioned, centrifugal fire pumps have to operate with positive suction head. So if you are going to use the pool as a water source the suction flange on the pump has to be at or below the intake level in the pool. With a typical in ground pool that means at least 8' below the water level of the pool. So your looking at a basement or pump pit arrangement which is another cost to consider. Richard L.

In any case the draining of the pool for maintenance would constitute no sprinkler protection.
