Enacted by the U.S. President Bush on December 2007, the VGB Pool and Spa Safety Act (P&SSAct) is operating since the December 19, 2008. This regulation is designed to prevent swimming pools jeopardies. The perils of pools like body entrapments or disembowelments are more often invisible and mortal.

The Act settled U.S. CPSC measures for pool and spa safety. Under the code, all drain covers must match ASME/ANSI A112.19.8-2007 in all public pools and Spas. The water installations which have only one main drain different than an unblockable drain must set up a 2nd system to fight out entrapments.

The industry, the trade or distribution of drain covers which are not in compliancy with the safety measures required by the CPSC is prohibited in USA to ensure that all drain covers purchasable in the marketplace are conformable with safety stipulations.

Each public pools must install anti-entrapment drain covers and implement other strata of protection such as safety vacuum release systems or fences.
