General Safety Instructions
The following guidelines provide information to minimize the risk of injury to users of pools, spas, and hot tubs.
WARNING:
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF 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.
If not an approved single, unblockable outlet, a minimum of two functioning suction outlets per pump must be
installed. Suction outlets in the same plane (i.e. floor or wall) must be installed a minimum of three (3) feet (1
meter) apart, as measured from center point to center point. Dual suction fittings shall not be located on seating
areas or on the backrest for such seating areas. If any suction outlets are located closer they shall be located on
two different planes (i.e. one on the bottom and one on the vertical wall, or one each on two separate vertical
walls).
WARNING:
Failure to keep suction outlet components clear of debris, such as leaves, dirt, hair, paper and other
material can result in an increased potential for suction entrapment.
If not a single, unblockable outlet, in the event of one suction outlet being completely blocked, the remaining
suction outlets serving the system shall have a flow rating capable of the full flow of the pump(s) or the specific
suction system. If in doubt about the rating and/or head loss curve of your system, consult a qualified pool or
spa professional and/or your respective equipment manufacturer(s). Also, double check with your local building/
health authorities regarding single vs. multiple drain installations, etc.
Regularly inspect all drain covers for cracks, damage and advanced weathering. If a drain cover becomes loose,
cracked, damaged, broken or is missing, close the pool or spa immediately, post a notice and keep the pool or spa
closed until an appropriate VGB 2008 certified drain cover is properly installed.
WATER VELOCITY AND FLOW RATES
The maximum water velocity through drain covers is limited by some local regulations, for example some state
health departments limit the velocity through public pool drain covers to 1.5 feet per second. This velocity limit
is lower than the flow rating provided by the ANSI/APSP 16 certification; therefore local limit applies and must
be followed. Never exceed the flow rating listed on the cover even if local code does not provide a velocity limit.
For additional information on proper installation refer to The Association of Pool & Spa Professionals ANSI/APSP-
7 Standard and the US Consumer Product Safety Commission Guidelines for Entrapment Hazard.
