Pool Pump Suction Requirements
Pump suction is hazardous and can trap and drown or disembowel
bathers. Do not use or operate swimming pools, spas, or hot tubs if
a suction outlet cover is missing, broken, or loose.
Follow the guidelines
below for a pump installation which minimises risk to users of pools, spas, and
hot tubs.
Entrapment Protection
The pump suction system
must
provide protection against the hazard of
suction entrapment or hair entrapment/entanglement.
Suction Outlet Covers
All suction outlet covers must be maintained. They must be replaced if
cracked, broken, or missing.
See below for outlet cover certification requirements.
All suction outlets must have correctly installed, screw-fastened covers in
place.

Suction outlet covers must have been tested by a nationally recognised
testing laboratory and found to comply with the latest AS1926.3-2010
Standard or ASME/ANSI Specification for
Suction Fittings For Use in Swim-
ming Pools, Spas, Hot Tubs, and Whirlpool Bathtub Applications.
