Inspectors and Safety - The SVRS Question
The relationship between pool professionals and government officials has evolved post-
Virginia Graeme Baker.Here's what this means for the industry.
Last year, a non-fatal entrapment occurred in a Nashville-area aquatic facility. While the operators there claimed the pool was compliant with the Virginia Graeme Baker Pool and Spa Safety Act and had an SVRS in place, some looked at published photos of the device and saw a problem. They believed it had been disabled or not installed properly.
Some industry professionals have long been concerned about the false tripping that happens with safety vacuum release systems. The job of these devices is to prevent entrapments, and in order to do that, they must detect pressure changes in the plumbing and, when that occurs, break the vacuum or shut off the pump.
