26.0 Recreational Water Facility Showers and Toilet Facilities

26.1 Shower Temperature
Equip showers to provide POTABLE WATER at a temperature not to exceed 43°C
(110°F) during normal operations.

26.2 Shower Location

Install showers within 10 meters (33 feet) of every entry point to each
RECREATIONAL WATER FACILITY. For beach entry RECREATIONAL
WATER FACILITIES, install a minimum of one showerhead per 10 meters (33 feet)
of perimeter within 10 meters (33 feet) of the beach perimeter.

Install a minimum of one shower at each waterslide staircase entrance. The location
and number of showers for facilities with multiple entrances will be determined
during the plan review.

26.3 Showers for Children
RECREATIONAL WATER FACILITIES designed for use by children under 6 years
of age must have appropriately sized shower facilities. Standard height is acceptable,
but the mechanism to operate the flow of water must not be more than 1 meter
(3 feet) above the deck.

26.4 Showers Drainage
Shower floors must be sloped to drain. Shower water must discharge to waste, and
not into the RECREATIONAL WATER FACILITY.

26.5 Toilet Facilities
Locate toilet facilities within one fire zone (approximately 48 meters [157 feet]) of
each RECREATIONAL WATER FACILITY and on the same deck or adjacent decks
if there is no obstruction between the RECREATIONAL WATER FACILITY area
and entrances to the toilets. If toilets are not located on the same deck as the
RECREATIONAL WATER FACILITY, they should be easily visible and
ACCESSIBLE from the RECREATIONAL WATER FACILITY area.

Install a minimum of two separate toilet rooms (either two unisex or one male and
one female). Each toilet facility must include a toilet and a handwashing facility. The
total number of toilets and toilet facilities required will be assessed during the plan
review. Urinals may be installed in addition to the required toilet, but may not replace
the toilet.

26.6 Waterslide Toilets and Showers
Toilet facilities for a waterslide may be located on the same deck within one fire zone
(approximately 48 meters [157 feet]) as the staircase entrance as long as this is the
only access to the waterslide.
