Product Specific FAQ
Click on a question to see the answer. If you do not see your question below scroll down to the bottom to send us your question.
Does the 8MFSBVxxx have an expiration date?
Yes. The VGB law that went into effect in 2008 requires that all public pools and spas have drain covers that comply with the ASME/ANSI A112.19.8 performance standard, or any successor standard, currently ANSI/APSP 16-2011. This standard requires that manufacturers determine a life expectancy and place a permanent mark with ?Life: X Years? on each cover to indicate lifespan.
At Aquastar, based on UV, structural and fastener testing, we?ve determined that our drain covers should be replaced every five years from the date of installation, as stated in our instructions.
