Any centre with leisure facilities must put safety of its members at the top of priority list. The role played by a pool main drain cover is very crucial to safety and wellbeing of swimmers and therefore all efforts must be put to ensure they do not expose people to deadly risks. A conventional pool has both skimmers and main drain outlets. The former is usually found at the water line on the upper part of the wall and is responsible for absorbing water containing oil, leaves, and other floating debris, which are then taken to the filter.
Skimmers are located at the upper surface of the walls and are responsible for directing leaves, oils, and other floating stuff to the filter. A main drain on the other hand is located at the deepest section of a pool and it is responsibility in sucking sunken debris. Without these cleaning structures, any bath would be inhabitable.
Besides, the water could become too smelly for anybody to dive in. Public pools, due to their heavy usage, should have more outlets in order to facilitate the recycling process. Unfortunately, the same components that promote pool hygiene are the ones, which for along time have caused injuries and deaths of many.
It is however saddening that those preventable fatalities occur annually as a result of poorly established structures. Stakeholders in the past kept turning their backs to suction related accidents, which continued claiming lives. At last, it reached a point where cases of disembowelment, limbs loss, and deaths related to swimming pools made the news headlines and could no longer be ignored.
After an incident in 2002, which claimed the life of seven-year-old Graeme Baker, legislations were put in place to create some order in the pool industry. Standards guiding the manufacture of different installations were agreed upon. This meant that any product that did not meet the set criteria had to be replaced immediately.
A standardised drain cover should allow water to pass through its gratings at the least possible velocity, while at the same time not hindering recirculation. The surface covered should also be wide enough such that no body part can block it entirely. In addition, the drain entry should have an anti vortex.
However, you can decide and get both a new frame and its top from a different supplier. Those who have had some training or experience in coverings replacement can comfortably do the task provided they stick to all the precautionary measures. They must for instance ensure that the pump is switched off.
In addition, if you do not have any previous experience in replacing a covering, it is important that you let an expert do it. Failure to conduct proper fixture can expose people to serious risks. The technicians also have adequate knowledge on precautionary measures associated with such procedures and therefore are better placed to handle them.
