The Virginia Graeme Baker Pool & Spa Safety Act (P&SS Act) takes its name from Virginia Graeme Baker, a young girl who drowned after she was trapped under water by the powerful suction from a hot tub drain. ... Graeme died from drowning, but the real cause of her death was suction entrapment due to a faulty drain cover.

Drain cover manufacturers are required to provide the consumer with information that tells them when the drain cover must be replaced before they begin to crack or show other signs of failure. Many manufacturers have designated a life span of 5 years, others up to 10 years.Apr 1, 2015

When constructing a new swimming pool, if you are going to use a main drain it is required that you use two. This is due to safety regulations to help prevent Main Trap Entrapment. Main drain entrapment occurs when the suction is so great through a single main drain that a person can become stuck on or in the drain.Jun 13, 2018

Pool drains work because they have a lot of suction behind them. They pull the water down, allowing the pool to be filtered, and in the process, cleans the pool. However, this suction is the main reason why pool drains are potentially dangerous. ... This is called suction entrapment, and it can be fatal.

Because pool drains use suction to filter things out of the water, they put people at risk for entrapment. If a small, light person gets too close to a pool drain, they can become trapped underwater, which can lead to a host of injuries including accidental drowning.May 29, 2019

Avoid Entrapment! Always follow these important rules: Never enter—and never let anyone enter— a pool or spa with a loose, broken, or missing suction fitting or drain cover. Never play or swim near drains or suction fittings— and never let children do it.

Entrapment occurs when part of a bather or swimmer's body becomes attached to a pool or spa drain as a result of the powerful suction of the water circulation system, or an arm or leg is inserted into a drain with a missing or broken cover.

To find out which specific pipe is blocked, run your pool pump and check each line by itself by shutting off the other lines (skimmer lines, main drain line) and looking at your filter's pressure gauge. If a specific line has lower pressure than the other lines, then you've found your blockage.Sep 22, 2020

• A venous blood gas (VBG) is an alternative method of estimating systemic carbon dioxide and pH that does not require arterial blood sampling. Performing a VBG rather than an ABG is particularly convenient in the intensive care unit, since many patients have a central venous catheter from which venous blood can be quickly and easily obtained.
