VGB-Compliant Drain Cover Replacement for Commercial Pools in Las Vegas

Gator Pools inspects and replaces main drain covers on commercial pools and spas in Las Vegas and Pahrump to meet the federal Virginia Graeme Baker Pool and Spa Safety Act and Southern Nevada Health District rules. A loose, damaged, missing, or expired drain cover is one of the nine violations that closes a pool on the spot. Drain covers carry a manufacturer life, typically five to seven years, and we track replacement dates for every account.

VGB Drain Covers FAQs

What is the Virginia Graeme Baker Act?

A federal law requiring anti-entrapment drain covers and, in some cases, secondary systems on public pools and spas. It applies to every commercial pool in Las Vegas. SNHD enforces it at inspection.

How often do VGB drain covers need to be replaced?

Covers have a manufacturer-stamped service life, commonly five to seven years. SNHD will cite an expired cover. We log the install date and schedule replacement with the annual drain.

Can SNHD close our pool for a drain cover?

Yes. A loose, damaged, or missing main drain cover is an immediate closure item.
