We are writing this letter to inform you about some of changes that will be effective December 20, 2008.

Click on image for a larger version. |
First, ALL commercial
pools (new & existing) will be required to have a drain cover that meets the new
“American National Standard ASME A112.19.8 – 2007”. This means 99.9% of all the
existing drain covers will not meet the new requirement and will have to be
replaced to operate a commercial pool after December 20, 2008.
These drain covers will have an approximate cost of: $18.95 each for Hayward 8" round covers $92.95 each for Hayward 12” x 12” square covers Hayward 18” x 18” square covers will also be changing but pricing will not be available until Nov 2008. Note: All other brands will have pricing information to come at a later date. |
|
We will be offering diving service to install these at $150/hr (normally only takes 1 hr). |
|
|
Secondly, some commercial pools (new & existing) will be required to
have a “Safety Vacuum Release System”
(SVRS). Basically this device will release suction on the main
drain(s) if it is blocked for any reason. Pools equipped with
gravity drainage system, automatic pump shut off, or other system
determined by the CPSC to equally effective. We
will be offering two different versions of the system a mechanical
version made by Vac-Alert and an electronic version made by Hayward
Pool Products. The electronic version may save costs in the
installation costs.
