To think I used to go to the little suction pumps at the community pool when I was a kid and push leaves and bugs in to it. Amazing I survived the 90's.

Just an additional idea popped into my mind at the end of this. They should have some sort of building around this as well, with holes thin enough for the water to get through but nothing else. I pictured something like an upside down laundry basket over top of that drain area to keep kids and things FAR away, and adding a secondary protectivefeature. It doesn't make sense to me that we are combining something this dangerous along with something priceless and the MOST PRECIOUS (children happily swimming in the pool) -- Why are we even letting something with that much suction or power anywhere NEAR where any of us swim?! There should be some sort of protective area that is much bigger over it as a back up.
@infinitekeys16034 ай бұрын
Newer pools actually do this. The drains you see in the pool lead to surge tanks which have drains in the tank that are directly connected to the pump. The water suction starts in the tank. This way water flow into the pool drains is gently led by gravity. There’s basically no suction in these designs
@autumnspring66246 жыл бұрын
There should also always be a lifeguard by drain site to make sure people keep away from it or just to monitor it incase someone gets trapped there.
@xshowda3 жыл бұрын
You dont even need a certified lifeguard, the most important thing is to know where the emergency shutoff for the pumps is and how to access it.
@gray_wolfproductions96186 жыл бұрын
All pool drains should be turned off during swimming time and there should be a camera under water or a alarm if something or someone is near the a drain And life Guards near the pool make sure changing drains every year or so I know Pools have to circulate water if you can’t turn off the suction know we’re the switch is

If you sit on the drain, as several kids have, the suction is so intense that it can cause lacerations in the rectum and pull the intestines out (through the rectum), especially if you’re pulling on the child to try to free them.
