TS 13475

TS 13475 is a standard that sets general rules for workplaces involved with pool fountain systems, covering physical characteristics, operating practices, technical equipment, personnel and certification. In practical terms, it addresses the basic technical and organisational framework for operating water-feature systems in pools in a controlled and orderly way.

Technical and operational aspects of pool fountain systems

Pool fountain systems combine water movement with mechanical and control equipment, typically using pumps, nozzles, piping and associated controls to create a defined visual water effect. In such installations, the building layout, equipment arrangement, maintenance access and operating procedures are closely linked, because water, electrical and mechanical elements coexist in the same environment and affect both performance and day-to-day operation. TS 13475 provides the general workplace framework in which these technical and organisational elements are considered together.

Personnel and certification in the workplace context

The scope also mentions personnel and certification, which indicates attention not only to the physical installation but also to how the workplace is organised and documented. More broadly, standards of this kind help establish a common basis for service consistency, equipment management and structured operation. TS 13475 therefore serves as a general reference point for the workplace discipline around pool fountain systems.
