Those flat grates are bad for suction accidents. Not vgb compliance but I think having two drains should help reduce suction at one drain.

O thanks! From your videos i know more than from a seller in market!

I'm curious to know what PSI an HRV is set at. If the pool is full, water pressure at 6feet is around 20psi. Is the HRV set to relieve pressure both with a full and empty pool? Not much sense to have it set to constantly dump ground water into a pool. Any idea??? Thanks!

The damage pool drains can cause is blood curdling 😨

If you need to sever the main drain pipe before the valve before the pump how to you plug the drain?

What is the cleaning maintenance for these drains if any?

Andy when fitting a HD33L liner main drain into the floor do you concrete/fill the gutter like rim around the drain ????

Hi, really helpful video, could you answer a question for me though please?

When installing a certikun main drain into 250mm concrete slab . Is it best to just encase the pipe work in the centre of the slab? Or drop it out of the slab and go in the sand beneath the pool?

First time installing a diy pool hence the basic question! I can’t decide which way I prefer… and whether to wrap said drain pipe in insulation or not!!

So does every main drain have HRV and if so does it automatically work if I have a high water table ? because after the winter when all the snow melts my pool gets over flooded and causes the liner to float. I was always wonder why? Maybe draining all the water out before next winter will work ?

If bottom drain is clogged up can pool still function without it
