Types of Drainage | |
Drainage is a vital part of landscape design. It helps prevent soil erosion and protects plants and animals. It’s often out of sight, but it’s crucial to your property’s health. The components of drainage systems include an outlet at the lower end; a main and submain ditches that collect water and convey it to outlets; and lateral drains, which remove water from the soil. Laterals can be arranged in either a uniform or random pattern. Main Drains Located in the deepest part of the pool or spa, main drains are designed to draw water into the recirculating pump. When working properly, this is a simple and effective way to provide drainage solutions. Pool main drains work off of the suction created by the recirculating pump to suck water through them and into the PVC piping that leads to the skimmers and the pool or spa’s circulation system. Unfortunately, main drains have also been the cause of a fair share of tragedies in swimming pools and hot tubs, including human and animal entrapment deaths. Because of this, main drains are required to comply with VGB regulations aimed at reducing the risk of entrapment. To do so, they must feature dual suction outlets, a safety vacuum release system, or a suction limiting venting system to break the pressure buildup or limit the amount of suction that can be created when the drain is blocked. | |
