| The Virginia Graeme Baker Pool and Spa Safety Act |
| Safety is an issue that concerns everybody. That's why this new legislation states that every public or commercial pol or spa with a single main drain per pump must have a device such as a Safety Vacuum Release System (SVRS). This law is intended to keep swimmers safe and help avoid possible entrapment and accidental drowning. |
| |
| Installing a Stratum VRS to your public or commercial pool not only adds an additional layer of protection but also makes it compliant to the Virginia Graeme Baker Pool and Spa Safety Act. Stratum VRS monitors the change in suction pressure, will shut down the pump and vents to atmosphere to help prevent entrapment |
| |
| The most advanced SVRS system available |
| Stratum is certified and fully complaint with the Virginia Graeme BAker Pool and Spa Safety Act and is the only SVRS engineered to do all of the following: |
- Vent the pump suction line to the atmosphere
- Shut off power to the pump motor
- Automatically restart the system in protection mode to eliminate nuisance tripping
|
| Only Hayward offers an SVRS that is programmed with complete self-testing diagnostics that perform a system check during each start-up. Stratum meets or exceeds all relevant ASME/ANSI and ASTM performace standars, and installs in as little as an hour. All that comes in one complete SVRS package, making Stratum the most advanced SBRS system available |
| |
| Not only does Stratum VRS add an important layer of protection, it also keeps your pool open. |
| The Hayward Stratum is constantly monitoring changes in a pump's suctionline, When a change of pressure is detected, Stratum shuts off all power to the pump and vents the suction line to atmosphere. Once Stratum detects that the line is clear of any obstructions, it restarts and have a service technician restart your system. It also helps prevent any possible lapse in filtration and sanitization during the time the pump is off. All of this means better service for your swimmers while saving you time and money |
| When it comes to pools and safety you can never be too careful. Understanding and knowing how to keep swimmers safe is a subject where we can never know, or do, too much. Hayward strives to be a responsible corporation concerning the growing need for energy efficient, environmentally friendly products. We work hard to continue to raise the bar to provide industry changing, innovative products that meet the demands of our customers and the growing concerns of the public. |

| Recent regulatory updates have called for addition methods to avoid suction outlet entrapment. According to the National Safe Kids organization more than two-thirds of parents (66 percent) are not at all or only somewhat familiar with the topic of suction entrapment and entanglement. According to the CPSC, there are five categories of potential suction entrapment hazards and there is no single product that protects against all five-entrapment hazards. The five hazards are: |
| |
|
Hair entanglement
Body suction entrapment
Limb entrapment
Evisceration/disembowelment
Mechanical entrapment |
| |
| Stratum provides an additional layer of protection against body suction entrapment risks. It monitors and reacts to changes in suction pressure (vacuum). Stratum is the first and only system that simultaneously vents the suction line to atmosphere and turns off the power to the pump. |
| |
| Stratum is effective in monitoring the suction pressure in single or multiple suction outlet (drain) systems, which share a common suction line. It features an automatic restart after certain activations and is programmed with an internal checking system that performs performance diagnostics during each start-up. |
