Swimming pool and spa drain ENTRAPMENT is PREVENTABLE.
There isn’t a single documented drowning when properly installed
anti-entrapment drain covers are professionally installed. Spa and pool drain cover safety is possible if an experienced professional installs the PROPER pool drain cover.
CPSC 2011 Entrapment Statistics
Every drain entrapment death has occurred when a flat grate was installed, when a cover was missing, when a cover was broken, or when a cover was not properly installed.
Properly installed anti-entrapment drain covers are the key to safety.

Polaris pool sweep tail caught?
A common issue I come across is the Polaris pool cleaner tail whip (pool sweep tail) getting sucked into the main drain because the drain cover is missing. We regularly go underwater and remove the tail and install a new drain cover to prevent it from occurring again.
