What is Suction Entrapment?

When a swimmer becomes stuck to a drain or suction outlet in a swimming pool, spa, wading pool, or hot tub, the force of the filtration system can be tremendous. This “suction entrapment” will hold the bather in its grip until either the vacuum is broken, or he or she drowns, defying the rescue efforts of onlookers. Vac-Alert provides an important layer or protection to suction entrapment with our safety vacuum release system.
