§ 34-595. Interactive play devices.

(a)

Construction. The interactive play device's design and construction shall provide for a safe and sanitary recreational environment for its users. All interactive play equipment shall conform to standards set forth by the most recent edition of the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, Handbook for Public Playground Safety, which the board of health adopts herein by this reference, or the most recent edition of the American Society for Testing Materials, Standard Consumer Safety Performance Specification for Playground Equipment for Public Use, which the board of health also adopts herein by this reference, and in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions for installation and operation, and approved by the board of health. Interactive play devices shall be designed, installed, and maintained so that the surfaces are smooth, non-toxic and easily cleanable. The devices shall not pose a health or safety hazard to users or bathers, and shall not interfere with the circulation or disinfection of the water.

(b)

Circulation. Any apparatus, device or equipment that discharges water into the pool or that uses the pool as a source of water for the operation of the device shall either use only water that has been filtered and disinfected prior to being discharged into a pool, or shall have a separate disinfection system for the device approved by the board of health. If water for the device is not taken directly from the pool, then the water for the device shall be circulated through a separate system consisting of pump(s), filter(s), disinfection equipment, and other appurtenances, as required by the board of health and this article. This includes, but is not limited to, spray guns, "mushrooms," buckets, water wheels, and other similar devices. Any water being discharged into pool water, or that makes contact with users or bathers, shall have the same minimum level of disinfection that is required for the type of pool that the device is installed within, as required in section 34-574, "water quality and sanitation".
