According to ANSI standards, what is the limit for standing water depth on a pool deck after water addition?

The correct limit for standing water depth on a pool deck after water addition, according to ANSI standards, is 1/8 inch. This specification is in place to ensure safety and efficient drainage on pool decks. Excess water can create slippery conditions and increase the risk of slips and falls, which is why maintaining such a small allowable depth of standing water is crucial.

This limit reflects an emphasis on pool deck design that prioritizes user safety and comfort. Additionally, minimizing the accumulation of water prevents long-term damage to the deck materials and infrastructure, while also reducing the potential for mold and mildew growth, which can thrive in wetter conditions. By adhering to these standards, commercial pool contractors help create a safer and more pleasant environment for all pool users.
