How do the Stingl and Vac-Alert products make my pool safer?
The Stingl and Vac-Alert SVRS make pools safer by adding the layers of protection needed to reduce the risk of entrapment accidents. When a swimmer becomes stuck to a drain or suction outlet in a swimming pool, spa, wading pool, or hot tub, the force of the suction generated by the filtration system can be tremendous. This “suction entrapment” will hold the bather in its grip until either the vacuum is broken, the pump is stopped or he or she drowns, defying the rescue efforts of onlookers. Both the Stingl and Vac-Alert SVRS stop the suction pull of the pump.
