If the makeup water is added directly to the pool, the outlet shall be at least 6 inches (150 mm) above the upper rim of the pool. If the makeup water line discharges to a surge or balancing tank, the point of discharge shall be at least 6 inches (150 mm) above the rim of the tank. If a hose connection from a sill cock or other plumbing fixture is to be used for supplying makeup water, then a vacuum breaker shall be installed between the sill cock or control valve at the fixture and the hose connection.
