D. A pool and/or spa that is heated solely by a solar pool heating system without any backup heater.

E. Heating systems which are used exclusively for permanent spa applications in existing buildings with gas availability.

F. Heating systems which are used exclusively for permanent spa applications where there is inadequate Solar Access Roof Area (SARA) as specified in Section 150.1(c)14 for a solar pool heating system to be installed.

If D03 = E or F, the responsible person shall provide documentation for the qualifying exception and submit together with this CF2R.

If D02 = A, check this requirement: This project requires a solar pool heating system with a solar collector surface area that is equivalent to 60 percent or greater of the pool and/or spa surface area.

In 04a Minimum solar collector surface area (ft2), D01 * 0.6 = (If D04 is D02=A) N/A.

If D02 = B, check this requirement: This project requires a Heat Pump Pool Heater (HPPH) as the primary heat source.

The supplementary heater can be of any energy source.

If D02 = C, check this requirement: This project requires an on-site renewable or on-site recovery energy source that provides at least 60 percent of the calculated annual energy consumption of the pool and/or spa heater. The mechanical engineer or responsible person shall provide documentation and submit together with this CF2R.

If D02 = D, check this requirement: This project requires a combination solar pool heater and heat pump pool heater. The system shall have no additional supplementary heater.

If D02 = E, check this requirement: The system shall be verified as an CEC Executive Director approved alternative.

The pool pump flow rate shall not exceed the maximum pump flow rate calculated based on pool sizing in the table. The return pipe diameter, suction pipe diameter, and filter area shall be at least as large as the required minimums shown in the table.

In 3, select whether the alternative calculation is used: Yes or No.

Alternatively, a flow calculation or flow test result shall be provided to demonstrate that the pump flow rate is less than 6 hour filtration turnover, and the return pipe flow rate does not exceed 8 fps and that the suction pipe flow rate does not exceed 6 fps.

An alternative compliance calculation or a flow test result is provided for this pool or spa use (must attach flow calculation or flow test result to this form).

In 06 Volume of Pool (gallons), enter the Pool Volume (gal).

In 07 Filter Type, enter Filter Type (Cartridge, Sand, DE).

For 08a, 08b, 08c and 08d: If F03 = "No", then enter value from Table C in the user instruction based on input from F06 and F07. Else select "N/A". For 13 and 14: If F03 = "Yes", then user input. Else select "N/A".

8a Enter the Required Minimum Return Pipe Diameter (inches). 8b Enter the Required Minimum Suction Pipe Diameter (inches). 8c Enter the Required Minimum Filter Area (ft2). 8d Enter the Required Maximum Pump Flow (gpm).

Pool Pump Sizing and Flow Rate Specification (Section 150.0(p)): The pool filtration flow rate may not be greater than the rate needed to turn over the pool water volume in 6 hours or 36 gpm, whichever is greater.

The maximum velocity allowed is 8 fps in the return line and 6 fps in the suction line, and the maximum pump flow rate is less than 6 hour filtration turnover.

Table C, Pool sizing (Values are based on a maximum allowable turnover rate of 6- hours): Max Pool Volume (gallons), then Min PipeD or Greater (inches) Return and Suction, Min Filter Area or more (square feet) Cartridge, Sand and DE, and Max Pump Flow (gpm). 13,000: 1.5 1.5 100 2.4 20 36. 17,000: 1.5 2 130 3.1 25 47. 21,000: 2 2 160 3.9 30 58. 28,000: 2 2.5 210 5.2 40 78. 42,000: 2.5 3 320 7.8 60 117. 48,000: 3 3 360 8.9 70 133. Note: For pumps greater than 1 hp. The maximum Pump Flow is the lowest speed default filtration.

Enter 09 Return Pipe Diameter (inches), 10 Suction Pipe Diameter (inches), 11 Filter Surface Area (ft2) and 12 Max Pump Flow Rate (gpm).

Enter 13 Measured Flow Rate Return Line (fps) and 14 Measured Flow Rate Suction Line (fps). This is only used if the alternative calculation is used.

15 Compliance Statement is automatically completed. Select "System complies" if F03 = "Yes" and F13 ≤ 8 and F14 ≤ 6. Else display "System complies" if F03 = No and F09 ≥ F08a and F10 ≥ F08b and F11 ≥ F08c and F12 ≤ F08d. Else display "System does not comply".
