Residential Pool Safety
No one ever plans for a tragedy. We all hope it will never happen to us, especially in our own backyard. As a pool owner, it is your responsibility to put layers of protection into place to ensure the safety of our swimmers.
On the following pages, you will find information regarding pool safety products, such as the EcoStar SVRS variable-speed pump with built in SVRS, Stratum VRS (vacuum release system) to help prevent suction entrapment, layers of protection, general pool safety guidelines, and a summary of the new legislation—The Virginia Graeme Baker Pool and Spa Safety Act. Here at Hayward, we want you to have the most memorable and safe poolside experiences possible.
Stratum™ VRS chosen by the Readers of Leading Trade Publication
The Stratum™ VRS, safety vacuum release system, was one of two Hayward products honored as 2009 "Most Valuable Product" by the readers of Aquatics International. For more information, click here.
