Drain
Entrapment
-
Drain
entrapment is a horrifying and often deadly tragedy.
- The
suction force of the water is so strong that even healthy adults would
struggle to pry themselves off the drain.
- Underwater
entrapment can lead to the disembowelment of victims, typically children
two to six years old.
- Young
children have direct access to the bottom pool drain especially in wading
pools, because of the shallow water.
- When
the child's buttocks covers the drain opening, the resulting suction
force can eviscerate the child through the ruptured rectum.
Solution
While
there are many types of anti-entrapment systems available, Vac-Alert
Industries and Stingl Products
offer Safety Vacuum Release Systems (SVRS). These systems are among the
easiest, most effective and inexpensive to install. In addition, fencing,
pool covers, pool chemicals management and adult supervision are other
key elements to create a comprehensive pool safety plan during this summer's
pool season.
