SUCTION ENTRAPMENT HAZARD:
DEATH or SERIOUS INJURY will result if a drain cover or grate is not
installed and used correctly.
• Pool and spa pumps produce high levels of suction and move high volumes of
water, which can cause death or serious injury if a person comes in close proximity to pool or spa drains.
• Keep clear of pool and spa drains to avoid death or serious injury from suction.
DEATH or SERIOUS INJURY will result from pool or spa drain covers or
grates that are improperly installed, missing, clogged, or broken.
• Inspect pool and spa before each use to ensure that drain covers and
grates are properly in place and secured.
• Ensure that drain covers are not damaged, cracked, broken, loose, clogged, not properly secured, or
missing because these conditions increase the chance of death or serious injury from entrapment.
• If a drain cover is discovered damaged, cracked, broken, loose, clogged, not properly secured, or
missing, you should:
• Close the pool or spa immediately; and,
• Post a closure notice and keep the pool or spa closed until an appropriate ANSI/APSP -16-2011
certified drain cover is properly installed.

DEATH or SERIOUS INJURY will result from hair entanglement or
limb entrapment.

• Hair sucked into pool or spa drains will tangle and knot trapping the
swimmer underwater. Avoid placing your hair near a pool or spa drain.
