Ceiling
Fans can
be used in a pool room environment as long as
the National Electric Code (NEC) is met. NEC
states that all electrical and ceiling fans must
be located a minimum of 7 feet above pool water
Ceiling
Fans must be in reverse or blowing up- NEVER
DOWN IN A POOL ROOM
CEILING
FANS
can do the following:
(1) When
used in a room with high ceilings (14-30
feet+), cupelo, dormers, etc. that cannot
be reached with the ductwork system, ceiling
fans blowing up, can help to break
up the stratification of moist air that
occurs when the open pool gives off moisture
or evaporation
(2) When
skylights have been designed into a pool
and are surface mounted or recessed into
the structure. In some cases, ductwork
cannot be installed up in this area. If
not, ceiling fans placed between skylights
so that the paddles of the ceiling fan
can “push” or move air up into
the skylight, will help to prevent condensation
from forming in the skylights.
(3) Size
and number of ceiling fans will be determined
by the size of the skylights and how far
apart they are from one another.
