Every commercial pool has a mystery lurking beneath the surface: the life span of its main drain covers.
Most main drain grates are designed with a 5-year life span, after which they must be replaced to stay compliant with the Virginia Graeme Baker (VGB) Pool & Spa Safety Act.
Failing to replace outdated covers can expose associations to:
⚠️ Safety Risks – Aging covers can crack or fail, creating dangerous entrapment hazards.
📋 Compliance Issues – Non-VGB covers put your community at risk of violations and liability.
🚫 Unexpected Shutdowns – Expired or unsafe drain covers can result in your pool being closed until corrected.
