When you talk about drains, you are referring to a hole, covered by a grate that helps remove water from a sink or tub. The pool main drain cover found in swimming pools is used to move water, but not in exactly the same way. Because of the important role drains play in keeping swimming pools clean, clear, and safe to swim in, every pool owner, even those who never service or maintain their pools themselves, should understand the basic details about drains. This promotes safe to family members and pool users.
If you have ever seen a swimming facility that is full of water but that is not being managed, you have a good idea of how important the pools filtration system is to the cleanliness and clarity of the water. The drains are part of the overall filtration system, which is responsible for keeping dirt and debris from building up in the pools. The drains are responsible for moving the water from the pools to the filter and then back to the pools.
For enhanced effectiveness, the main drains should be located at lowest points in swimming pools so that they allow flow of the water to take effect smoothly and carry debris toward the drains. Their function is boosted by presence of skimmers in clearing dirty out. Drains should always be managed well as time goes by. Over time, chlorinated water and effect sun may reduce efficiency of drains covers and make them get brittle and begin to crack.
Maintenance of drainers ensures they always remain in good condition. Cracking and brattling of drains is accelerated by exposure of drains to sun and chlorinated water over years. To protect your family and equipment ensure that you are using the proper drain covers and they are in good operating condition.
Using the proper drain will always assist you in safety. Drains do their work efficiently if they are properly maintained and serviced well. If not properly managed, parts of human body might get stuck when they come into contact with drains. Hands, legs, hair or fingers can be damaged. If this happens, it is difficult to get out the affected body area because of the suction, especially in pools which have only one drain.
In order to do their job properly, both types of drains suction water from the bathe into the filtration system. Unfortunately, this suction can be dangerous to swimmers and without proper precautions, arms, legs, and hair can get caught in the drains.
Covers are tested in laboratory to determine their upper flow rate, which may result in speeds through the open area of the cover that are greater than one point five feet per second. Pool owners have measures put in place to ensure safety to swimmers. All this means that every drain must be covered by a cover or grate that meets the minimum standards set out in the Virginia Graeme Baker Pool and Spa Safety Act.
As a way of improving safety it is advisable that pools owners install anti-vortex covers where needed. Those who get stuck in drains can be rescued but some may end up having permanently ruined body structures due the high suctioning pressure. It is therefore good to ensure bathe management is put in place to avoid dangers occurring.
