Ceiling Fans

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 in a pool room, NEVER DOWN

CEILING FANS CAN DO THE FOLLOWING:

  • 1. Ceiling fans can help break up stratified air in a room with high ceilings (14-30+ feet) that cannot be reached with the ductwork system. Stratification of moist air occurs when the open pool gives off moisture or evaporation.
  • 2. Ceiling fans should be used when skylights have been designed into a pool room and are either surface mounted or recessed into the structure. If duct work cannot be installed in the skylight structure, ceiling fans placed with the paddles placed between skylights so they can push or move air up into the skylight and will help prevent condensation from forming in the skylights.
  • 3. The number and size of the ceiling fans will be determined by the size of the skylights and how far apart they are from one another.
