Professional Anti-Entrapment Drain Cover Installation

Certified diver underwaterCertified divers are available near you to professionally install your anti-entrapment drain cover.

Entrapment Danger!

Under certain conditions, the suction from drains in swimming pools and spas can entrap swimmers underwater.

  • Replace old flat drain covers. Never use a pool or spa with a missing or broken drain cover.
  • Have a professional regularly inspect your pool or spa for entrapment or entanglement hazards. Ask them to clearly mark the location of the electrical cut-off switch for the pool or spa pump.
  • Install a Safety Vacuum Release System (SVRS) to automatically shut off a pump if a blockage is detected.
  • If someone is trapped against a drain, turn off the pump immediately.
  • Pry a hand between the drain and the person’s body to break the seal, instead of trying to pull the person away from the powerful suction.

    "Very Professional"
    “Next day service. I received a call from the city informing me of the possibility of a leak. I checked the meter and started calling plumbers. I was referred to American by a plumber here in Washougal. I called, got the answering service, and received a call back in under 1/2 hour. Set up a service call for the following day. Tony and Gary were very professional, had all the right equipment needed to find the leak and discovered the problem in just a short time. Fortunately, the problem was not complex and easily resolved, but I never would have found the leak without their help. Will definitely keep their number handy.”
