The problem is that the builder insists we need to do something to show that we are actively managing water that used fall onto my yard and now falls to the pool. And I really don't wan to have a rubble pit. Re: How to deal with excess water when pool is lower than st 6Jun 22, 2018 11:34 pm gaweleczek Because the pool is lower than the street level the build wants to use a rubble pit. I prefer to pump it out to the street. Are you allowed to send pool water to a rubble pit or to stormwater via the street in QLD??? 3in1 Supadiverta.

That is also my understanding with rubble pits plus pools should also not be drained to stormwater because of their chemical and/or salt content. There are different regulatory bodies to check, the EPA being one of them. Can it be pumped to a holding tank for later (gravity fed) reuse? 3in1 Supadiverta.

Re: How to deal with excess water when pool is lower than st 11Jul 08, 2018 5:17 pm As long as you're draining less than 5% of your pools water in a controlled manner.. you can drain to stormwater. To make it controlled, put a 2 way valve in line, between the pool and the storm entry. PM me your email. I have a build excavation calculator you can use based on your plans to double check what your builder is telling you.
