Drain covers on commercial pools all have expiration dates in compliance with the Virginia Graeme Baker act.
If drain covers are not replaced before they expire, all liability falls on the facility instead of the drain cover manufacturer, which can be millions of dollars!
When a new drain cover is installed, the expiration date is typically years in the future. This can be difficult to keep track of, and since the drains are often at the bottom of the pool or spa and bolted down, it can be a challenge to read them once installed.
Pool Shark H2O allows you to add the serial number and expiration dates for these covers as part of the pool record.
An email alert is sent out to all administrators on the account 90 days before the drain covers expire providing ample time to order new covers or contact a pool company to replace them.
