The overall goal of this presentation is to explain how the pool industry got to this point in our history. I will cover how to minimize suction outlet entrapment hazards through proper construction and sound hydraulics. The presentation covers proper application of SVRS technology, as well as the installation and proper application of the Safety Vacuum Release System.
Understanding the dynamic forces involved in pool, therapeutic and circulatory systems can and will reduce the hazards associated with child suction entrapment. After testing and demonstrations in labs addressing differential hold down forces(DHDF), it has been proven that the avoidance of this scenario will in turn make pools and spas safer for our swimming public. The pool industry is generally unaware of this problem, however through proper education, we can help industry professionals to recognize this deadly issue and correct the misuse of powerful pumps and inadequate plumbing/piping techniques. Through proper education of this issue, there should be no reason why we can‘t stop suction outlet entrapment in our lifetime.
