Answer: used to alleviate the suction or pull when someone's hair or
other body part is entrapped in a drain
⩥ why the The Virginia Graeme Baker Pool and Spa Safety Act enacted.
Answer: to prevent the traffic and hidden hazard of drain entrapments
and eviscerations in pools and spas
⩥ what does The Virginia Graeme Baker Pool and Spa Safety Act
require.
Answer: - prohibit drain covers that do not meet anti-entrapment safety
standards specified by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission
(CPSC)
- create an incentive grant program for states to adopt comprehensive
pool and spa safety laws requiring certain safety devices in swimming
pool and spas to protect children
- establish a national drowning prevention education program within the
U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission
,- Require public pools to incorporate anti-entrapment drain covers and
other layers of protection

peristaltic, these pumps are also referred to as hypo chlorinators
⩥ chemical storage containers (vats).
Answer: where disinfectant is stored while using the hypo chlorinator
⩥ hypo chlorinator.
Answer: a mechanical/electrical device that draws liquid chemicals from
the chemical vats, through a tube, and then discharges the disinfectant to
the return line through a tube or series of tubes that has an injector
located in the effluent line
