Myth: You must install dual drains.
Fact: Install an SVRS (Safety Vacuum Release System), or alternative, on public pools/spas with single drains.
Installing dual drains is an expensive and time consuming process that includes the need to drain the pool to perform the work. In the current California drought conditions prominent in many areas, this action is not desireable, especially when it is unnecessary. Installing a second drain requires construction, which is costly, and the complete closure of your pool while the work is being done, which is inconvenient.
Instead, an SVRS unit can be installed in under two hours for a fraction of the price of a second drain. The Pool Doctor, experts in the Virginia Graeme Baker law, have many different styles of SVRS units available to meet the needs of every public pool and spa, and has been installing them all over the Bay Area since 2008.
