In reference to the wording of a document entitled "July 2009 CPSC Staff Draft Technical<br />

Guidance on Unblockable Drains"<br />

The wording is too technical <strong>and</strong> vague for the average pool operator or someone<br />

who has not worked around pools.. We propose that you draft a 3 point complying statement for<br />

"unblockable drains"<br />

Such as:<br />

To be compliant as an "unblockable drain", the drain must meet the following criterias:<br />

ASME/ANSI A112.19.8 states: "it requires drain covers to be tested <strong>and</strong> approved for<br />

body entrapment, limb entrapment, finger entrapment, hair entrapment<br />

(entanglement) <strong>and</strong> evisceration/disembowelment. EXisting drain covers may meet<br />

all of these provisions but they were not tested thus the manufacturers of these<br />

covers will not retroactively certify them"
