Code
Aquatic vacuum cleaners shall not be used for removal of contamination from the water or adjacent surfaces unless vacuum waste is discharged to a sanitary sewer and the vacuum equipment can be adequately disinfected.
Annex
Questions are often received concerning the MAHC recommendation to NOT VACUUM fecal material from the POOL. When the material is drawn through the vacuum, the vacuum itself is then contaminated and must be disinfected. At the present time, the MAHC is not aware of any manufacturer that has a decontamination protocol for disinfecting fecal-, vomit-, or blood-contaminated POOL vacuum units.
