TY - JOUR AU - Hechmer, Carl A. AB - S\VIMMING POOLS AND WATER DISTRIBUTION SYSTEMS] By CARL A. HECHMER Although a growing wealth of data is available on swimming pool design, construction, and operation, little has been said of the relation of the swimming pool to the water distribution system, which supplies the new water, and the burdens which each place on the other. The ability of the water system to supply an unlimited amount of water for refilling the pool and the cost thereof will govern as to whether the pool should use the fill and draw method or recirculation with independ­ ent purification methods. The latter is the generally accepted prac­ tice, being more satisfactory, both because the purity of the water may be controlled at the pool by its operators, to take care of varying bathing loads and, except in isolated cases, it is more economical. The cost of recirculation, pumping, and purification is very small, being as low as one cent per thousand gallons, which is far under most munic­ ipal rates for water, at the Chevy Chase Swimming Pool operating under the writer's supervision."
