Develop a basic understanding of the hydraulic principles in order to design more efficient and serviceable hydraulic systems. This class is core course required for advancing through the GENESIS certification program.
Learning Objectives:
- Identify physics of water: area, depth, volume, mass, pressure, velocity, flow rate, energy, and others.
- Discuss and apply the basic principles, code limitations, and guidelines to hydraulic design.
- Calculate GENESIS series of software worksheets.
- Calculate Total Dynamic Head (TDH) and electrical, and gas heating operating costs.
- Perform the complete analysis of a basic pool/spa combination with a water feature.

Hydraulic engineering cannot be explained in 4 hours and neither can proper plumbing methods. However, this program provides a good start by providing an overview of the design and engineering process as well as a good list of best practices for everything from layout to assembly to pressure testing. It is not a prerequisite for E101, E211, or E311, but it does combine some elements of all three programs to provide an excellent introduction to pool hydraulics and plumbing.

In the field, the correct do’s and don’ts of a project are the difference between a properly built vessel and a failure that equates to wasted time and money. This program breaks down the engineering portions of a project with a checklist detailed from years of in-the-field experience. From plans and soils reporting to waterproofing and compressive strengths, students will leave with high-level information to easily relay these tips to your team.
