Attention Pool Owners

In December 2008 the Virginia Graeme Baker Pool and Safety Act became law requiring that all public pool and spa owners have an approved antientrapment drain cover installed on the bottom drains of their pools and spas.

The drain is designed to make certain that when the pool filter and pump are running, someone swimming over the drain is not drawn in by the suction, causing them to become trapped or seriously injured.

While this is an act for public pools, it is absolutely necessary for the private pool owner to make certain that they also have an appropriate drain in the bottom of their pool.

If you have any questions, please contact your pool installer and have a safe and enjoyable summer.
