A Safety Vacuum Release System is a system or device capable of providing vacuum release at a suction outlet caused by a high vacuum occurence due to a suction outlet flow blockage.

SVRS devices must allow for vacuum release with or without suction outlet cover(s) in place, and shall operate in such a way as to not defeat or disengage other layers of protection installed to protect against suction entrapment.

Baystate proudly offers SVRS devices from Emotron, Hayward, Stingl, Vac-Alert and Vacless that will bring your customers pools up to code. Read on to decide if a SVRS is the right solution for your customers.
