SUCTION ENTRAPMENT HAZARD: STAY OFF THE MAIN DRAIN AND AWAY FROM ALL SUCTION
OUTLETS!
THIS PUMP PRODUCES HIGH LEVELS OF SUCTION AND CREATES A STRONG VACUUM AT THE
MAIN DRAIN AT THE BOTTOM OF YOUR POOL AND SPA. THIS SUCTION IS SO STRONG THAT IT CAN
TRAP ADULTS OR CHILDREN UNDER WATER IF THEY COME IN CLOSE PROXIMITY TO A POOL OR
SPA DRAIN OR A LOOSE OR BROKEN DRAIN COVER OR GRATE.
THE USE OF UNAPPROVED COVERS OR ALLOWING USE OF THE POOL OR SPA WHEN COVERS ARE MISSING,
CRACKED OR BROKEN CAN RESULT IN BODY OR LIMB ENTRAPMENT, HAIR ENTANGLEMENT, BODY ENTRAP-
MENT, EVISCERATION AND/OR DEATH.
The suction at a pool or spa drain or outlet can cause:
Limb Entrapment: When a limb is sucked or inserted into an opening resulting in a mechanical bind or swelling. This
hazard is present when a drain cover is missing, broken, loose, cracked or not properly secured.
Hair Entanglement: When the hair tangles or knots in the drain cover, trapping the swimmer underwater. This hazard is
present when the flow rating of the cover is too small for the pump or pumps.
Body Entrapment: When a portion of the body is held against the drain cover trapping the swimmer underwater. This
hazard is present when the drain cover is missing, broken or the cover flow rating is not high enough for the pump or
pumps.
Evisceration/Disembowelment: When a person sits on an open pool (particularly a child wading pool) or spa outlet and
suction is applied directly to the intestines, causing severe intestinal damage. This hazard is present when the drain cover
is missing, loose, cracked, or not properly secured.
Mechanical Entrapment: When jewelry, swimsuit, hair decorations, finger, toe or knuckle is caught in an opening of an
outlet or drain cover. This hazard is present when the drain cover is missing, broken, loose, cracked, or not properly
secured.
NOTE: ALL SUCTION PLUMBING MUST BE INSTALLED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LATEST NATIONAL AND LOCAL
CODES FOR SWIMMING POOLS, SPAS AND HOT TUBS, INCLUDING NSPI STANDARDS AND CPSC GUIDELINES.
