Vac Alert SVRS Submerged - Applications more than 24" below water
The Vac-Alert Model VA-2000S is a Safety Vacuum Release System (SVRS) designed for submerged
suction applications. Submerged suction in this case applies to all applications where the circulating pump suction is below
the level of the pool water surface. This unit incorporates a 0.375” diameter orifice opening installed below the surge
tube section. This orifice opening is sized to provide a limited amount of pump start-up surge protection, while at the same
time allowing enough air into the piping system to insure dissipation of the dynamic suction force caused by the circulating
pump
When a swimmer becomes stuck to a drain or suction outlet in a swimming pool, spa,
wading pool, or hot tub, the force of the filtration system can be tremendous. This “suction entrapment” will
hold the bather in its grip until either the vacuum is broken, or he or she drowns, defying the rescue efforts of onlookers.

Don’t take chances
with your pool or spa safety!
The Model VA-2000S SVRS unit also utilizes a check valve assembly
equipped with a 0.25 pound spring and a non-vented poppet (no poppet disc or hole through the poppet). This check valve assembly
utilizes a light duty spring to minimize the sealing force of the check valve. The non-vented poppet insures that water from
the circulating system, under a positive hydrostatic head condition, does not migrate up into the SVRS.
For pumps operating
24/7 we recommend installation of the VA-2000S (even if it's a lift application situation).
