Frequently Asked Questions

Yes - in many cases, a pool drain cover can be replaced underwater using scuba or snorkel gear if the system allows safe access.
However, it’s critical to:

  • Turn off the pump and relieve suction before starting.
  • Use non-corrosive stainless hardware rated for submersion.
  • Ensure the new cover’s bolt pattern and flow rating match your drain body.

If visibility or depth makes underwater work difficult, partial draining may still be required for precision and safety.

According to VGB safety regulations, most pool drain covers must be replaced every 5–7 years, even if they appear intact.

Over time, exposure to UV, chlorine, and water pressure can degrade plastic strength and attachment hardware.

Always check the expiration date or lifespan printed on the cover itself — VGB-compliant models are required to include one.

Routine inspection each season is recommended to ensure screws and seals remain secure.

The cost to replace a pool drain cover typically ranges from $50–$200 for parts, depending on size, material, and brand (e.g., AquaStar or Hayward).

If the entire drain assembly or sump needs replacement, total costs can exceed $500–$1,000 with professional labor.

Regular inspection and timely cover replacement help avoid the need for full drain replacement.

A VGB-compliant pool drain cover is specifically engineered and tested to prevent suction entrapment, one of the leading causes of pool injuries.
Key features include:

  • Anti-entrapment domed or unblockable designs that diffuse suction.
  • Secure stainless mounting hardware that resists loosening.
  • Certification markings (including flow rate and lifespan).

All covers sold by Voomi Supply meet ANSI/APSP-16 and VGB safety standards.

Before ordering, identify your existing drain’s:

  • Brand and model (e.g., AquaStar, Hayward, Pentair).
  • Bolt pattern (2-bolt, 4-bolt, or snap-fit).
  • Flow rating and diameter size (typically 6–9 inches).

If you’re unsure, take a photo or measure the drain body opening. Our listings include exact specifications to ensure perfect fit and compliance.

  • Flat drain covers are best for small spas or secondary suction ports with low flow rates.
  • Domed or raised drain covers are used for main drains, dispersing suction to prevent entrapment.

Domed designs are typically required to comply with VGB standards in pools and commercial spas.

 Inspect for:

  • Cracks, fading, or brittle plastic.
  • Loose or missing screws.
  • Flat, non-domed surfaces (older pre-VGB designs).
  • Absence of flow or compliance markings.

If your cover is more than 7 years old or predates 2008, replace it immediately with a VGB-certified model.
