IMPORTANT NOTICES: PLEASE READ
WARNING
KNOWN DROWNING HAZARD.
DO NOT GO NEAR THE SUCTION FITTINGS OR DRAINS OF YOUR POOL OR SPA. YOUR HAIR OR BODY
MAY BECOME TRAPPED CAUSING PERMANENT INJURY OR DROWNING.
DO NOT ENTER THE POOL OR SPA IF SUCTION FITTINGS OR DRAIN COVERS ARE LOOSE, BROKEN, OR MISSING.
WARNING
RISK OF SEVERE INJURY OR DROWNING IF SUCTION SYSTEMS ARE NOT INSTALLED PROPERLY!
NOTICE TO OWNER:
READ, FOLLOW, AND SAVE THESE SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS.
Suction can pose a serious hazard to swimmers just as electricity can be a hazard. Both are important for proper
water filtration and both must be treated with respect. Suction safety begins with a professional design that
includes a quality suction system installed by a certified contractor.
The MDX Debris Removal System
electricians are required to connect filtration pumps to public utilities; both require proper training and certification to
assure no hidden hazards are built into the project.
Certified builders will address the following issues when designing and installing a proper filtration system:
• Properly bond-grounded pumps, time clocks, switches and any other metal in or near water. This is required to
address Electrical Shock Hazards.
• Design the suction piping so there are no single-point suction hazards; single-point suction (one drain) is a
leading cause of Body Suction Entrapment Hazards. Note: your certified builder has many effective options for
addressing this hazard; they may include dual-drain systems, like MDX, skimmers, gutters, negative edge
features and many more products and piping designs known to professionals.
• Install A A S S M M E E / / A A N N S S I I A A 1 1 1 1 2 2 . . 1 1 9 9 . . 8 8 M M listed drains, suction covers and debris removal systems. This is the O O N N L L Y Y
approved option for preventing Hair Entrapment Hazards, the leading cause of suction related injuries.
• Design and install an effective circulation system (including optional cleaning systems), to direct filtered water to
all areas and interior surfaces. NOTE: Suction fittings can NOT clean or direct filtered water for proper
sanitation; that can only be done on the pressure (return) side of the filtration system.
While suction injuries are extremely rare, drowning and diving injuries are far too common and there is little your
certified builder can do to eliminate these hazards. You must educate yourself and your guests. Below are some
important safety issues every swimmer must know and recognize.
