# Overflow system for recreational pools

## Abstract

An overflow system for a recreational pool includes a drain configured to be mounted to a bottom of the recreational pool, and a drain pipe configured to extend substantially horizontally from the drain under a perimeter wall defining a boundary of the recreational pool to outside the boundary. The system also includes a standpipe configured to be positioned outside the boundary and having a first end and an open second end. The first end is coupled to the drain pipe and the second open end has an overflow elevation between a normal water level elevation for the recreational pool and a top of wall elevation of the perimeter wall. In addition, the system includes a recirculation pipe having a first end in fluid communication with the recreational pool and a second end in fluid communication with the standpipe proximate the second open end.
