1.2 PoolPumpSuctionEntrapment PreventionGuidelines

WARNING

Pump suction ishazardousand can trap anddrownor disembowelbathers. Do notuse or operate

swimming pools, spa, or hottubsifa suction outletcover ismissing, broken, or loose. The following

guidelinesprovide information forpump installation thatminimizesthe riskofinjuryto users ofpools,spas,

and hottubs:

EntrapmentProtection -Thepump suction systemmustprovide protection againstthe hazardsofsuction

entrapment.

Suction OutletCovers -All suction outletsmusthave correctlyinstalled, screw-fastened covers in place.

All suction outlet(drain)covers mustbe maintained.Draincovers mustbe listed/certified tothe latest

version ofANSI /ASME A112.19.8 oritssuccessorstandard, ANSI/APSP-16. Theymustbe replaced if

cracked, broken, ormissing.

Number ofSuction OutletsPer Pump -Provide atleasttwo (2)hydraulically-balanced main drains, with

covers, assuction outletsforeach circulatingpump suction line. The centers ofthemain drains(suction

outlets) onanyone (1)suction linemustbe atleastthree (3)feetapart,centertocenter. See Figure1.

Thesystem must be built toinclude atleasttwo (2)suction outlets(drains) connected to the pump whenever

the pump isrunning. However, if two (2)main drainsrun into a singlesuction line, the singlesuction line

maybe equipped with a valve thatwillshutoff both main drainsfromthe pump. Thesystemshallbe

constructedsuchthatit shallnotallowforseparate orindependentshutofforisolation ofeach drain. See

Figure 1.

Morethan one (1)pump can be connected to a singlesuction lineaslongasthe requirementsabove are met.

Water Velocity -The maximumwatervelocitythrough the suction fittingorcoverforanysuction outlet

mustbe 1.5 feetpersecondunless the outletcomplieswiththe latestversion ofANSI/ASMEA112.19.8 or

its successorstandard, ANSI/APSP-16, the standardforSuction FittingsForUsein SwimmingPools,

WadingPools, Spas,and HotTubs. In anycase, do notexceed the suction fitting’smaximumdesigned flow

rate.

If100%ofthe pump’sflowcomesfromthe main drainsystem, the maximumwatervelocityinthepump

suction hydraulic systemmustbe six (6)feetpersecond orless, even ifone (1)main drain(suction outlet)is

completelyblocked. The flowthrough the remainingmain drain(s)mustcomplywiththe latestversion of

ANSI/ASMEA112.19.8 oritssuccessorstandard, ANSI/APSP-16, the standardforSuction FittingsForUse

in SwimmingPools, Wading Pools, Spas,and HotTubs.

Testing and Certification -Suction outletcoversmusthave been tested bya nationallyrecognized testing

laboratoryand found to complywith the latestversion ofANSI/ASMEA112.19.8 oritssuccessorstandard,

ANSI/APSP-16, the standard forSuction FittingsForUse in SwimmingPools, WadingPools, Spas, and Hot

Tubs.

Fittings -Fittingsrestrictflow;forbestefficiencyusefewestpossiblefittings(butatleasttwo (2)suction

outlets).

Avoid fittingswhich couldcausean air trap.
