A well thought-out head makes the difference in quality
The pool head forms the upper end of the pool wall and closes it off with the weir, which is inclined outwards by 30° and also acts as a handrail.
Attached to this is the overflow channel, the side of which facing the pool is inclined by 12° to prevent outgassing of the draining bathing water and to minimise drainage noise.
This overflow channel is dimensioned in such a way that it does not require an accompanying drainage pipe and therefore only two overflow drainage nozzles are required, as is the case with a sports pool, for example.
Diagram 1
There is a groove on the outside of the wall to support the overflow channel cover grating. The water level is 5 cm above the pool perimeter, the handhold is also 5 cm.
Diagram 2
If the pool surround is to be raised as close as possible to the water level, the support of the grating is raised by removing the groove so that the handhold is reduced to the minimum dimension of 2 cm.
Graphic 3
An overflow channel grating inclined towards the pool by 3% considerably reduces water loss.
This overflow channel is covered with a UV and bathing water-resistant PP grating and accommodates pool equipment such as starting pedestals, water depth signs, line holders, stop walls, timing systems, ladder rails, etc.
If required (indoor pool), a stainless steel bracket is welded tightly to the outside of the pool head to accommodate the continuing horizontal sealing of the pool deck.
