Pool Drain Cover Recall

May 27, 2011, by Ronald V. Miller, Jr.

Getting ready to open your pool? Eight manufacturers will recall about 1 million drain covers for pools and in-ground spas that were incorrectly rated to handle the water flow through the covers.

What's the harm? Probably none. But these covers could pose an entrapment swimmers and hot tub users which is more than a little bit serious.

If you have a drain cover than was sold between December 2008 and April 2011 (or a Pentair Water Pool and Spa were sold between June 2009 and April 2011), you like have a defective pool drain cover. These manufacturers have issue a recall: Rising Dragon, A&A Manufacturing, AquaStar Pool Products, Color Match Pool Fittings, Custom Molded Products, Hayward Pool Products, Pentair Water Pool and Spa, and Waterway Plastics.
