IMPORTANT NOTICES: PLEASE READ <br />WARNIVG <br />KNOWN DROWNING HAZARD. <br />DO NOT GO NEAR THE SUCTION FITTINGS OR DRAINS OF YOUR POOL OR SPA. YOUR HAIR OR BODY <br />MAY BECOME TRAPPED CAUSING PERMANENT INJURY OR DROWNING. <br />DO NOT ENTER THE POOL OR SPA IF SUCTION FITTINGS OR DRAIN COVERS ARE LOOSE, BROKEN, OR MISSING. INSPECT <br />SUCTION FITTING INCLUDING FASTENERS FOR DAMAGE OR TAMPERING BEFORE EACH USE OF THIS FACILITY. <br />WARNING <br /> <br />RISK OF SEVERE INJURY OR DROWNING IF SUCTION SYSTEMS ARE NOT INSTALLED PROPERLY! <br />NOTICE TO OWNER: <br />READ, FOLLOW, AND KEEP THESE SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR FUTURE REFERENCE. <br />While suction injuries are extremely rare, drowning and diving injuries are far too common and there is little your <br />certified builder can do to eliminate these hazards. You must educate yourself and your guests. Below are some <br />important safety issues every swimmer must know and recognize. <br />PREVENT DROWNING: Watch children at all times, no swimming alone. <br />NO DIVING IN SHALLOW WATER: You can be permanently injured. <br />PREVENT SUCTION ENTRAPMENT: Inspect suction covers before swimming, keep swimmers away from <br />suction fittings, protect long hair, don't swim with loose clothing or large and dangling jewelry. <br />HOW SDX RETRO WORKS BETTER <br />The SDX RETRO high flow safety drain is designed and tested to safely deliver water to modern high flow pumps. <br />EACH DRAIN ADDRESSES ALL ENTRAPMENT HAZARDS <br />Hair Entrapment Avoidance. At the heart of the Patented design is a cover that acts much like sixty self-regulating <br />drains. This is significant because as some of the 'little' drains are covered, excessive suction does not transfer to the <br />remaining openings. When excessive suction is transferred to unblocked openings in a traditional drain grate, the <br />suction causes hair to enter multiple openings, creating a potential entrapment hazard if the hair tangles or puffs up <br />inside the drain, making it impossible to pull free. <br />Body Entrapment Avoidance. The same self-regulating openings that protect against hair entrapment hazards, also <br />provides body entrapment protection. When the self-regulating openings built into the SDX RETRO cover are <br />combined with it's domed, anti-vortex shape, forming a seal with the cover is difficult. <br />Security. The SDX RETRO cover is held firmly in place with three recessed security screws which are made from <br />top quality 316 Stainless Steel. And behind the SDX RETRO cover are at least two more screws to hold the whole <br />assembly in place, providing multiple layers of anti-entrapment protection. <br />Durability. The SDX RETRO cover and support materials are far more durable than ABS, the typical plastic used in <br />swimming pool drain covers. In addition to fading, the Buna in ABS is prone to UV degradation resulting in structural <br />failures which contribute significantly to suction entrapment hazards. <br />© Jan 2006, Paramount Pool & Spa Systems
