Keeping Your Swimming Pool Safe By Maintaining Pool Main Drain Cover

By Ida Dorsey


When you talk about drains, you are referring to a hole, covered by a grate that helps remove water from a sink or tub. The pool main drain cover found in swimming pools is used to move water, but not in exactly the same way. Because of the important role drains play in keeping swimming pools clean, clear, and safe to swim in, every pool owner, even those who never service or maintain their pools themselves, should understand the basic details about drains. This promotes safe to family members and pool users.

The drains are components of the overall filtering system, which is helps in keeping debris from building up inside the pools. Drains are expected to be efficient and reliable for nice swimming of your family. They should be well taken care of for their continued efficiency. They are normally located at the base of swimming pool and they can either be one, two or more depending on the size of the pools.

For enhanced effectiveness, the main drains should be located at lowest points in swimming pools so that they allow flow of the water to take effect smoothly and carry debris toward the drains. Their function is boosted by presence of skimmers in clearing dirty out. Drains should always be managed well as time goes by. Over time, chlorinated water and effect sun may reduce efficiency of drains covers and make them get brittle and begin to crack.

Maintenance of drainers ensures they always remain in good condition. Cracking and brattling of drains is accelerated by exposure of drains to sun and chlorinated water over years. To protect your family and equipment ensure that you are using the proper drain covers and they are in good operating condition.

Using the proper drain will always assist you in safety. Drains do their work efficiently if they are properly maintained and serviced well. If not properly managed, parts of human body might get stuck when they come into contact with drains. Hands, legs, hair or fingers can be damaged. If this happens, it is difficult to get out the affected body area because of the suction, especially in pools which have only one drain.

Death can even occur if no quickly intervention is made. The pressure of drains is calculated in gallons per minute to ensure safe pressures of drains are put in place. This ensures safety to children as pressures are tested before using the machine to avoid danger or accidents caused by high pressures.

If body part suction happens, it can be difficult to dislodge the affected area because of such suction, especially in pools with only one drain. This can easily lead to serious injuries and even death by drowning, which can make pool owners be taken to court or even make them serve behind bars.

On top of that, owners of pools should consider implementing anti-vortex covers for drains where appropriate to highly safeguard swimmers from accidents. Few children caught in the drains can be saved, though they might be paralyzed. Some will bear the scars in the form of welts shaped like the drain on their skin permanently.
