ASTM F2387-21 PDF Download

The standards for safety vacuum release systems (SVRS) created for swimming pools, spas, hot tubs, and wading pools used in both residential and commercial settings are outlined in ASTM F2387-21, a standard specification. This specification's main objective is to lessen the risk of entrapment by offering a quick vacuum detection and release device or by eliminating high vacuum completely in the event that someone becomes stuck at a pumping system's suction outlet.

The standard mandates that pumps with equivalent horsepower and flow ratings to those evaluated should be used in SVRS systems. This guarantees the SVRS units' dependable and continuous performance. Additionally, it specifies that SVRS equipment created, sold, and installed prior to the release of this specification but in accordance with the previous version is regarded as complying with the present specification.
