MAIN DRAIN OWNER’S MANUAL
WARNING - SUCTION ENTRAPMENT HAZARD
Suction in suction outlets and/or suction outlet
covers which are damaged, broken, cracked,
missing, or unsecured can cause severe injury and/
or death due to the following entrapment hazards:
Hair Entrapment: Hair can become entangled in suction outlet cover.
Limb Entrapment: A limb inserted into an opening of a suction outlet
sump or suction outlet cover that is damaged, broken, cracked, missing,
or not securely attached can result in a mechanical bind or swelling of
the limb.
Body Suction Entrapment: A negative pressure applied to a large
portion of the body or limbs can result in an entrapment.
Evisceration / Disembowelment Entrapment: A negative pressure
applied directly to the intestines through an unprotected suction
outlet sump or suction outlet cover which is damaged, broken, cracked,
missing, or unsecured can result in evisceration / disembowelment
entrapment.
Mechanical Entrapment: There is potential for jewelry, swimsuit,
hair decorations, nger, toe, or knuckle to be caught in an opening of a
suction outlet cover resulting in mechanical entrapment.
USE ONLY GENUINE WATERWAY REPLACEMENT PARTS.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS. READ, UNDERSTAND, AND FOLLOW ALL WARNINGS
AND INSTRUCTIONS. SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
SOFA INSTRUCTIONS
When installing and using this equipment, basic safety precautions shall always be followed, including the following: IMPORTANT
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS. READ, FOLLOW, AND UNDERSTAND ALL INSTRUCTIONS AND WARNINGS.
Any modication that increases the ow rate of the circulation system shall require re-evaluation of the cover/grate and sump to
ensure that the ow rating of the Suction Outlet Fitting Assembly (SOFA) is not exceeded.
Missing, broken, or cracked cover/grates, sumps, mud-frames, or any other SOFA component shall be replaced before bathers are
allowed to use the pool.
Loose cover/grates shall be reattached before bathers are allowed to use the pool.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.

• Suction cover life is 7 years, the sump wall tting life is 15 years, the rest of the components have 25 year life, cover and all
SOFA components shall be replaced on or before the end of service life.
•The use of adhesives or other attachment methods that prevent access to suction piping or SOFA components is prohibited.
•Please refer to Head Loss Curve, suction head measured at the wall tting.
•This is a blockable SOFA as marked on the suction cover.
•Hand tighten screws, DO NOT USE POWER TOOLS TO INSTALL FASTENERS. Ensure proper thread engagement to
prevent cross-threading.
•Ensure proper atness of installation surface.
• When mud-rings, sump and other components are held in place by the interior surface of the pool, the surface should be free
of deterioration or voids
•Damaged Fasteners shall be replaced with original parts, and must be grade 316 stainless steel. The wall tting shall be
inspected for the presence of any CRACK or material loss. Cracked/damaged mud rings, sumps, or wall ttings shall
be replaced.
•No unauthorized eld modications.
•This product is intended for use on gunite, vinyl, berglass, and roto-molded pools, spas and hot tubs.
•No modication shall be made to SOFA structure or ow path unless the conguration has been certied as a new SOFA.
•Service life begins the month and year in which SOFA components are installed with or without water.
•For winterization remove the cover and plug the inlet.
•Use TORX wrench and screw driver for service and removal of fasteners.
•Observe cover/grate/fasteners for damage each operational day.
•During installation ensure components and fastener receptacles are clean, free of debris and obstructions.
•Hand-check cover/grate for snugness to the sump/frame/wall tting after installation.
•SOFA installation components with crack, chunks, or pieces broken o, stripped screw holes, and/or unusual discoloration
should be replaced.
•The mounting surface or interior surface of the pool should be free of deterioration.
•Start installation of screws by hand to ensure proper thread engagement and to prevent cross-threading.
•Do not exceed the safe ow rating of SOFAs as listed.
•All SOFAs should be installed in accordance with Waterway installation instructions.
•No modication shall be made to SOFA structure or ow path unless new conguration has been certied as a new SOFA.
•Under no condition should SOFA special ow rating be exceeded while the pool is open.
•The capacity of secondary circulation system (skimmer, cutters, etc) should not be included when evaluating an individual
suction system ow rating.
•For the ow rating for pools with multiple blockable SOFAs in one body of water without isolation valves: combine all SOFAs,
minus the ow rate of one, if all are not equal use the larger ow rate.
•“Blockable” SOFAs in new pools shall be installed in multiple-SOFA system ONLY.
•“Blockable” SOFAs in existing pools with single SOFA systems shall be installed with an additional anti-entrapment device
or system.
•This SOFA is suitable for in-place replacement.

Failure to remove pressure test plugs and/or plugs used in winterization of the pool/spa from the suction
outlets can result in an increased potential for suction entrapment as described on the previous page.
The 10”/ 640-1900 V tting is rated at 200 GPM for oor and 136 GPM for wall. If the tting is missing or
broken, replace with a tting of equivalent rating or higher. Use of a lower rated suction tting could result in
entrapment of the body which could result in serious injury including drowning.
Do not use or operate pool, spa, or hot tub if this suction tting is missing, broken or not secured per
instructions. The suction tting is intended to prevent entrapment of the body. Use of the spa hot tub with a
missing, broken or improperly secured suction grate may result in serious personal injury including drowning.
When the pool, spa or hot tub is in operation, suction is created at this tting. Users of the spa or hot tub must
be instructed not to come in contact with this tting in such a way as to block its orice. If a user of the spa or
hot tub blocks this tting with his/her body, serious personal injury or drowning may occur.
Failure to keep suction outlet components clear of debris, such as leaves, dirt, hair, paper and other material,
can result in an increased potential for suction entrapment as described on the previous page.
Suction outlet components have a nite life. The cover/grate should be inspected frequently and replaced at
least every seven years, or if found to be damaged, broken, cracked, missing, or not securely attached.
WARNING
Do not exceed the safe ow rate. Do not increase ow through system by increasing pump size or horsepower.
Do not allow children to sit, play or interact with main drains or suction outlet.
In order to remove the suction cover (for service or winterization), using a Phillips-head screw driver remove
the screws. Inspect both the suction cover and suction tting for any cracks or damages.
Any and all broken or missing parts must be replaced prior to starting spa or pool pump. Never operate spa or
pool without drain cover in place and properly axed, death or serious injury can result.
It is imperative to securely attach the suction cover to the wall ttings (use only the original supplied screws
or obtain original replacements). Do not over tighten the screws. Inspection of fasteners and observation for
damaged/tampered with suction ttings is required.

• A minimum of two functioning suction
outlets per pump must be installed.
Suction outlets in the same plane
(i.e. oor or wall) must be installed a
minimum of three feet (3') / 1 meter
apart, as measured from suction pipe center to suction pipe center.
• Dual suction ttings shall be placed in such locations and distances
to avoid “dual blockage”by a user.
• Dual suction ttings shall not be located on seating areas or on the
backrest for such seating areas.
• The maximum system ow rate shall not exceed the ow rating of
any listed (per ASME/ANSI A112.19.8M-1987, ASME A112.19.8-2007)
suction outlet cover installed. In the event of one suction outlet being
completely blocked, the remaining suction outlets serving the
system shall have a ow rating capable of the full ow of the
pump(s).
• Never use a pool or spa if any suction outlet component is damaged,
broken, cracked, missing, or not securely attached.
• Replace damaged, broken, cracked, missing, or not securely attached
suction outlet components immediately.
• Two or more suction outlets per pump should be installed in
accordance with latest APSP Standards and CPSC guidelines, and
follow all National, State, and Local codes applicable.
• Replace the suction within 7 years from the installation date.
• Installation of a vacuum release system, which relieves entrapping
suction, is recommended.
