Final Level Of Pool As Stated In The Australian Standard As /nzs 1839:1994 - Who Can Help?

[Timo0803]

Hi,

Could please somebody explain me the definition in the Australian Standard AS /NZS 1839:1994 about the Final Level of the Pool:

Final level of pool …The finished pool shall be level to within 1/225 of the overall length of the wall being considered up to a maximum of 1/300 of the overall length (l) of the pool.

I am trying to understand this definition in regards to our own pool as there is a max. height difference from water level to upper pool shell of 30mm. The total length of the pool is 8.5m.

Thanks.

It sounds like to me, and I could be wrong, like your pool is 8500 mm in length. For each width of wall that is 1/300 of that length or 28 and a third millimeters wide, the height shall not vary by more than 37.77 mm.

Math used:

8500 mm in length divided by 300 = the length of the section being measured = 28-1/3 mm

8500 mm divided by 225 (the max per section of variance allowed) = 37.77 mm variance

Seems like a lot though.

The only other way I could interpret that would be to divide the 28-1/3 by 225 but that's only a .168 mm variance and that seems like a very small number, almost impossible to measure without very precise instruments.
