Pool gutter and air evacuator assembly

An apparatus for directing air including water vapor and contaminants to an exhaust conduit from an area above a pool enclosing a body of liquid, the pool adjacent to and surrounded by a grating system that is positioned between a deck and the pool, said apparatus comprising:

• a first sidewall and an opposite second sidewall both connected to a bottom wall to define a gutter apparatus conduit collecting and directing fluid flow received from the body of liquid through the grating system, wherein said first sidewall is connected to the pool;
• a common wall between the first sidewall and the second sidewall such that the first sidewall, the second side wall, and common wall define first and second conduits extending between the first sidewall and the second sidewall;
• wherein one of the conduits directs air in a fluid flow to an exhaust system, and, said one of the conduits is in a position that avoids collecting liquids received through the grating system;
• wherein said conduits define respective ports between the pool and the deck.

A pool perimeter assembly comprising:

• at least two conduits extending between a first sidewall and a second sidewall, wherein the conduits are separated by a common wall between the first sidewall and the second sidewall;
• a grate positioned on the conduits in a position to direct fluid flow into at least one of the conduits,
• wherein a first length of the perimeter assembly comprises the two conduits defining a gutter trough conduit and an extra gutter conduit separated in part by the common wall, wherein the common wall defines a common opening between the gutter trough conduit and the extra gutter conduit, and
• wherein a second length of the perimeter assembly comprises the two conduits defining a gutter trough conduit and an evacuator conduit separated by a section of the common wall without the common opening.

A system of managing fluid flow through a pool perimeter assembly, comprising:

• directing ambient air flow from an air handling source across the surface of a pool of liquid and moving pool surface air flow;
• evacuating the pool surface air flow into at least one port defined by the pool perimeter assembly conduit and into an exhaust system;
• positioning the at least one port to move the pool surface air into an evacuation conduit;
• wherein the evacuation conduit is integrated into a gutter apparatus defining at least two conduits extending between a first sidewall and a second sidewall, wherein the conduits are separated by a common wall between the first sidewall and the second sidewall;
• wherein a first length of the perimeter assembly comprises the two conduits defining a gutter trough conduit and an extra gutter conduit separated in part by the common wall, wherein the common wall defines a common opening between the gutter trough conduit and the extra gutter conduit, and
• wherein a second length of the assembly comprises the two conduits defining a gutter trough conduit and the evacuator conduit separated by a section of the common wall without the common opening.

A pool perimeter assembly comprising:

• a flow apparatus defining at least two conduits extending between a first sidewall and a second sidewall, wherein the conduits are separated by a common wall between the first sidewall and the second sidewall;
• a grate positioned on the flow apparatus in a position to direct fluid flow into at least one of the conduits,
• a leveling plate connecting the pool perimeter assembly to a foundation defining a horizontal support;
• wherein a first length of the perimeter assembly comprises the two conduits defining a gutter trough conduit and an extra gutter conduit separated in part by the common wall, wherein the common wall defines a common opening between the gutter trough conduit and the extra gutter conduit, and
• wherein a second length of the assembly comprises the two conduits defining a gutter trough conduit and an evacuator conduit separated by a section of the common wall without the common opening;
• wherein the gutter trough is inclined upward relative to the horizontal support.
