How often do I need to change these covers in an hotel swimming pool?

\

BEST ANSWER: The new requirements for safety improvements at every public pool and spa were signed into federal law in December 2007. The law is HR6-303 to 309 Title XIV-Pool and Spa Safety, otherwise known as the "Virginia Graeme Baker Pool and Spa Safety Act." By 2009, swimming pools were required to have drain covers that conformed to the entrapment protection standards under the law. Because the drain covers are plastic and plastic deteriorates in chlorine water, the law requires that drain covers are to be replaced every 7 years. The first drain covers were to be installed by 2009, and were to be changed again in 2016. The next time they are to be changed is 2023. The Consumer Product Safety Commission is the government agency that oversees compliance of the law. Pool operators are to change the drain covers every 7 years and document and file the dates when the drains were changed. I understand that there is a hefty fine if caught not complying.

My county health department regulates the pool requirements, and references the manufacturers expiration date - 5years .

Aquastar mentioned that a WAV12WRxxx is what I need for a replacement, this will work correct?

BEST ANSWER: I’m familiar with the drain cover but I’m not familiar with your pool. If you’re making this change because the government requires it to prevent suction entrapment you should talk to your pool inspector. I had to do some retrofit to make it work right on my pool. The sad part is that I have a skimmer pool which couldn’t possibly trap you against the bottom drain but the government loves wasting my money so I was compelled to change it or jeopardize my license.
