Vac Alert SVRS Lift - Applications less than 24" below water surf
The Vac-Alert Model VA-2000L is a Safety Vacuum Release System (SVRS)
designed for suction lift applications. Suction lift in this case applies to all applications where the circulating pump suction
is either at or above the level of the pool water surface. This unit incorporates a 0.170” diameter orifice opening
installed below the surge tube section. This orifice opening is sized to prevent nuisance tripping of the SVRS unit caused
by high vacuum surges typical of many pump start-up conditions.
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.

The Model VA-2000L SVRS unit also utilizes a check valve assembly
equipped with a 3.5 pound spring, a poppet disc and a one-way (up only) vented poppet This check valve assembly permits continued
water flow to the circulating pump while the SVRS unit is in the open or vented position. The 3.5 pound spring further compressed
by the poppet disc, creates enough sealing force within the check valve to allow partial water flow to the circulating pump
for suction lifts up to 3.5 feet. This is critical to the elimination of circulating pump damage that can be caused by a sustained
dry-running condition. The one-way vented poppet allows the surge chamber to be internally recharged when the circulating
pump is turned off.
*For pumps operating 24/7
we recommend installation of the VA-2000S (even if it's a lift application situation.
