  • Page 5 HOW SDX2 WORKS BETTER The SDX2 high fl ow drain system is a dual-drain system designed and tested to safely deliver water to modern high fl ow pumps. Each Drain Addresses All Entrapment Hazards Hair Entrapment Avoidance. At the heart of the patented design is a cover that acts much like sixty self-regulating drains.
  • Page 6 The maximum flow rate for each pair of SDX2 drains varies depending on size WARNING and orientation of pipe and location on wall or floor. See chart below for flow limits based on variables. Any modification that increases the flow rate of the circulation system shall require reevaluation of the cover/grate and sump to ensure that the flow rating of the Suction Outlet Fitting Assembly (SOFA) is not exceeded.
  • Page 7 The flow rating for pools with multiple, blockable SOFAs piped together in one body of water without isolation valves shall be determined by combining the flow rating of all SOFAs, minus the flow rating of one. If the flow ratings of all SOFAs are not equal, subtract the flow rating of the SOFA with the highest flow rating. The flow rating for existing pools with a single, blockable SOFA is the flow rating of the SOFA, when also installed in conjunction with an additional device or system designed to prevent suction entrapment, where the additional device or systems is of a type listed in section 9.4.
