The Virginia Graeme Baker Pool & Spa Safety Act of 2007—Summary

This new federal law was enacted to help prevent suction entrapment
injuries and becomes effective December 19, 2008. The requirements for
public swimming pools, spas, and wading pools are summarized below
and must be met before these facilities can be operated after that date.

Drain Cover Requirements - New drain covers certified to ASME/ANSI
A112.19.8–2007 must be installed.

Backup System Requirements - Suction piping for each pump must be
inspected and will be considered in compliance with the federal law if:

1) no submerged drains connect to the pump, or 2) there are two drains
at least 3 feet apart, or 3) there is a single “unblockable” drain. An
unblockable drain includes a sump under the cover that is larger than 18
inches by 23 inches, or a channel type drain with a diagonal open area of
at least 29 inches.

Single-and two-drain systems less than 3 feet apart that fail to
meet one of the above requirements must be updated by adding,

1) Safety Vacuum Release System (SVRS), 2) Suction-Limiting Vent
System, 3) Gravity Drainage System, 4) Automatic Pump Shut-Off
System, 5) Drain Disablement, or 6) Other Systems determined by
Consumer Product Safety Commission to be equally effective.
Another option is to split the single drain into a dual-drain system
with at least 3 feet of separation.

and Spa Safety Act and how to comply, review the U.S.
