SUCTION ENTRAPMENT DANGERS INCLUDE:
Hair Entanglement –

 When the hair tangles or knots in the drain cover, trapping the swimmer underwater.  This hazard is 

present when the flow rating of the cover is too small for the pump or pumps.

Limb Entrapment – 

When a limb is sucked or inserted into an opening resulting in a mechanical bind or swelling.  This 

hazard is present when a drain cover is missing, broken, loose, cracked or not properly secured.

Body Entrapment – 

When a portion of the body is held against the drain cover trapping the swimmer underwater.  This 

hazard is present when the drain cover is missing, broken or the cover flow rating is not high enough for the pump or pumps.

Evisceration/Disembowelment – 

When a person sits on an open pool (particularly a child wading pool) or spa outlet and 

suction is applied directly to the intestines, causing severe intestinal damage.  This hazard is present when the drain cover 
is missing, loose, cracked, or not properly secured.

Mechanical Entrapment – 

When jewelry, swimsuit, hair decorations, finger, toe or knuckle is caught in an opening of an 

outlet or drain cover.  This hazard is present when the drain cover is missing, broken, loose, cracked, or not properly secured.

IMPORTANT WARNING AND SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS 

  

 

SUCTION ENTRAPMENT HAZARD

Pool and spa pumps produce high levels of suction, which can pose extreme danger if a person comes in close 
proximity to an open pool or spa drain or if a drain cover is loose, cracked, broken or missing.

Pool and spa pumps move large volumes of water, which can pose extreme danger if a person’s hair comes in 
close proximity to a drain that is not the proper size for the pump or pumps.
