The Pentair Starguard Main Drain is known in the market to comply with provisions of the ANSI/APSP/ICC-16 2017 standard as required by the Virginia Graeme Baker Pool & Spa Safety Act. High-quality StarGuard drains come in a variety of colors, such as white, black, gray and dark gray, as well as a variety of configurations to fit any in-ground pool or spa installation drains that have 15.35 square inches of open area for water flow.

One thing to remember about the Starguard main drain is that if only a single suction outlet or main drain exists, a safety vacuum release system (SVRS) , such as the IntelliFlo® VS+SVRS Variable Speed Pump, will be activated. An automatic shut-off system or a suction-limiting vent system makes this possible.

Regardless of the promises offered by Pentair, standard wear and tear issues will soon render these main drains unusable. You can prevent that by considering the repair parts you can find in this category as the genuine replacements you will need to get the main drains up and functional again.

The first component in this category you may soon need will be the: 2211200001 Suction Guard, Pentair, Short Head. It is this key component that makes pool and spa pumps move balanced levels of volumes of water, which otherwise can pose extreme danger if a person’s hair comes in close proximity to a drain.
