PHTA Invites Third Round of Public Comments on Revisions to PHTA-5 Standard
The Pool & Hot Tub Alliance is inviting a third round of public review and comments on revisions to the ANSI/APSP/ICC-5 2011 (R2022) American National Standard for Residential Inground Swimming Pools. The standard in development will be the PHTA/ICC-5 Standard for Residential Inground Swimming Pools.
The third round is a 30-day public review, and comments are limited to the revisions printed in the Jan. 17 edition of the ANSI Standards Action newsletter, including changes to Section 9.1.3 on turnover and water clarity and Section 12 on sanitizing equipment and chemical feed systems.
The PHTA/ICC-5 standard applies to permanently installed residential inground swimming pools intended for noncommercial use as a swimming pool by not more than three owner families and their guests and exceeding 24 inches in water depth. The objective of this standard is to provide recommended minimum guidelines for the design, equipment, installation and use of residential inground swimming pools.
All public review comments are due by Feb. 16.
For more information on the draft standard, visit the PHTA-5 webpage, email standards@phta.org or call 703-838-0083.
