It’s the Law

The VGB law that went into effect in 2008 requires that all public pools and spas have drain covers that comply with the ASME/ANSI A112.19.8 performance standard, or any successor standard, currently ANSI/APSP 16-2011. This standard requires that manufacturers determine a life expectancy and place a permanent mark with “Life: X Years” on each cover to indicate lifespan. Code requires that drain covers need to be replaced every 5 YEARS after the date of installation.

Reduce Liability

The law requires that compliant drain covers be installed in all public pools and spas, in accordance with manufacturer instructions. Failure to comply can result in pool closings and stiff civil penalties, as well as resulting liability in the event of a tragedy.

It’s Simple

Public pools are required to install compliant covers in accordance with manufacturer instructions. To ensure structural integrity and avoid accidents with broken covers, the drain covers that public pools and spas installed five years ago need to be replaced. We have many retrofit choices that will adapt to all manufacturers’ frames and sumps. We sell the highest standard of quality retrofit drains, resulting in superior, dependable products that last.
