Vac-alert

Safety Vacuum Release System - a system or device capable of providing vacuum release at a suction outlet caused by a high vacuum occurence due to a suction outlet flow blockage.

SVRS devices must allow for vacuum release with or without suction outlet cover(s) in place, and shall operate in such a way as to not defeat or disengage other layers of protection installed to protect against suction entrapment.

The Vac-Alert Safety Vacuum Release System's spring-loaded piston reacts instantaneously, opening to atmosphere and releasing the life-threatening suction of the drain. Once installed, it takes little or no maintenance. Its non-corroding PVC and stainless steel construction ensure long life and superior performance.

He was lucky!

This 5 year old child nearly drowned when entrapped on the main drain of a spa while swimming. Installation of a Vac-Alert valve would have prevented this.
