Swimming Pool Main Drain
Swimming Pool Main Drain is a foundational hydraulic fitting installed on the pool floor to draw water from the deepest point, ensuring effective bottom circulation, debris removal, and uniform turnover. Manufactured from heavy-duty, corrosion-proof materials such as ABS, PVC, or stainless steel, this drain is engineered to handle continuous submersion, chemical exposure, and significant hydraulic loads while preventing clogging and ensuring safe operation.
Featuring a compliant anti-entrapment cover or grille, the main drain meets current safety standards (such as VGB/ANSI A112.19.8) to eliminate suction hazards, particularly in commercial and public pools. Its design promotes balanced suction between multiple drains where required, enhancing bather safety and system redundancy.
Ideal for inground pools of all types—concrete, vinyl liner, fiberglass, and tiled—the main drain supports critical filtration functions by capturing settled dirt, sand, and fine debris before they cloud the water. It also aids in chemical distribution, temperature mixing, and preventing stagnation in deep areas.
Easy to install during pool construction or renovation, the Swimming Pool Main Drain integrates with standard plumbing layouts and is often part of a dual-drain or split-system configuration for added safety. Its low-maintenance design ensures long-term reliability with occasional cover inspection and cleaning.
