Drain Systems

Pool drains keep excess water within the pool area while providing a safe play area for children and bare feet. Trench drain systems also redirect rain water and keep it away from any surrounding structures such as a pool house.
Factors to think about when selecting a pool drain is not only concerns with safety, but also grating options. Drain covers are available in a variety of materials and decorative designs.

3 Considerations

Take a Load Off
Lawn chair and patio table legs can easily poke through a thin plastic grate. Be sure to pick a grate that can handle weight loads.

Cold Feet / Hot Grates
Drain grates are available in a variety of materials. Consider how the sun effects different metal surfaces when you are looking at selections.

Cleaning
Consider selecting grates that are removable for easy access to clean channels periodically. Our experts can help you find the right solution and may suggest some decorative grates that may enhance your landscape design.
