Definition 6 of 126
That part of a filter on which D.E. or similar filter media is deposited -- consisting of clotch, wire
screen, or other fine mesh material.
Float Valve
Filter Septum
Filter Media
Splash Pad
,Definition 7 of 126
The time it takes for an amount of water equal to the total volume of the pool to pass through
the filter system. Also see Gage and Bidwell.
Turnover
Takeover
Polymer
Revenue
Definition 8 of 126
A float valve located on the main drain pipe in the bottom of a surge tank. The valve
automatically regulates the amount of water flowing into the surge tank via the main drain in
order to maintian a high enough water level in the pool to ensure water flows int he perimeter
gutter system.
Modulating Float Valve
Surge Pit
Venturi Feeder
Equalizer Line
Definition 9 of 126
A high-efficiency heater that makes use of the condensate created by the burning of gas that
allows for latent heat to be collected from the vaporization from the water. Achieves
approximately 95% efficiency.
