How To Avoid Pool Drain Entrapment Hazards!
In the wake of recent incidents of pool entrapment in the news, we want to help our customers and the general public to avoid this often tragic problem. Unfortunately this very dangerous and common hazard is not thought of until tragedy hits the news. All persons who swim in any pool should be aware of what to avoid and how to keep themselves and their children safe. Below are several tips to help keep you and your family safe.
Never enter a pool or spa that has a loose, broken, or missing suction fitting or drain cover.
Immediately notify the pool or spa owner/operator if you find a loose, broken or missing drain cover.
Never play or swim near drains or suction fittings.
If you are a pool owner and your pool only has one drain, turn off the drain or entire pool system while you or your guests are swimming.
Contact a Lusk Pools to repair or bring your pool or spa into compliance with the ANSI/APSP-7 standard.
