Hair Entanglement – When the hair tangles or knots in the drain cover, trapping the swimmer underwater.
This hazard is present when the flow rating of the cover is too small for the pump or pumps.
Limb Entrapment – When a limb is sucked or inserted into an opening resulting in a mechanical bind or
swelling. This hazard is present when a drain cover is missing, broken, loose, cracked or not properly
secured.
Body Entrapment – When a portion of the body is held against the drain cover trapping the swimmer under-
water. This hazard is present when the drain cover is missing, broken or the cover flow rating is not high
enough for the pump or pumps.
Evisceration/Disembowelment – When a person sits on an open pool
(particularly a child wading pool) or spa outlet and suction is applied directly to the intestines, causing severe
intestinal damage. This hazard is present when the drain cover is missing, loose, cracked, or not properly
secured.
Mechanical Entrapment – When jewelry, swimsuit, hair decorations, finger, toe or knuckle is caught in an
opening of an outlet or drain cover. This hazard is present when the drain cover is missing, broken, loose,
cracked, or not properly secured.
SUCTION ENTRAPMENT HAZARD
Pool and spa pumps move large volumes of water, which can pose extreme danger if a person’s hair comes in
close proximity to a drain that is not the proper size for the pump or pumps.
PUMPS REQUIRE HIGH VOLTAGE WHICH CAN SHOCK, BURN, OR CAUSE DEATH.
BEFORE WORKING ON PUMP!
Always disconnect power to the pool pump at the circuit breaker from the pump before
servicing the pump. Failure to do so could result in death or serious injury to service person,
pool users or others due to electric shock.
