Swimming Pool and Spa
Anti-Entrapment Drain Cover Safety
Swimming pool and spa drain entrapment is preventable.
There isn't a single documented drowning when a properly installed
anti-entrapment drain cover is in place.
Every drain entrapment death has occurred when a flat grate was used, or when a cover was missing, or when a cover was broken, or when a cover was not properly installed.
Properly installed anti-entrapment drain covers are the key to safety.

the virginia graeme baker federal pool and spa safety act
We install drain covers for the Virginia the Virginia Graeme Baker (VGB) Safety Act
in public pools,
commercial pools, commercial spas
and residential pools and spas.
We work in Sacramento County, El Dorado County and Placer County.
We install anti-entrapment covers, unblockable drains and SVRS devices.
BEWARE: Many pools will not comply with the new legislation by merely changing drain covers,
because the sump below the drain cover does not meet the code specifications.
In many cases, this will involve construction and design of a new sump.
In California, a C-53 contractor's license is required to modify a sump.

colors
We stock an assortment of drain cover colors on our vehicles at all times.
The most common colors are white, black, light grey and dark grey.
Another common call: your pool cleaner hose (pool sweep tail) is stuck in the main drain because the drain cover is missing. We dive down all the time to remove these and install a new drain cover to prevent it from occurring again.
