How do Myrtha Pools treat their gutter design and drainage and return to pool (RTP) pipe work – and differences to that of concrete?
A – The Myrtha gutters are generally smaller than concrete pool gutters to cut down on noise by limiting the waterfall effect in the gutter cavity. Myrtha Pool gutters are angled on the inside face to allow water to run down rather than splash into the gutter. Myrtha Pools always recommends that the German designed Strahlenturbolenz side entry system is used in both concrete pools and Myrtha Pools, as this system limits the pipe work under the floor slab. The Strahlenturbolenz system is installed in many pools worldwide and in Australia at Trinity College Perth, Kardinia Park Geelong, Birrong 50m Sydney, Forbes 50m, Cobar 50m, Young 50m, West Wyalong 50m, Yarra Junction 25m, Coffs Harbour 50m and the University of Western Australia where a full dye test was conducted with a full mix of dye being achieved in 15 minutes in a 5 hour total volume turnover pool.
