Chem-Set H2O Sump-N-New Retro Kit A

Description

The Chem-Set H2O Sump-N-New Retro Kit A is a pool drain repair kit built to remount a damaged or loose main drain cover without draining the pool. Main drains sit at the lowest point of the pool structure, where standing water pressure is greatest, and a cracked, warped, or loose-fitting cover at that depth is exactly the kind of hazard the Virginia Graeme Baker Pool and Spa Safety Act was written to close. A drain cover that no longer seats flush creates both a water-loss risk, since the main drain line can pull hundreds of gallons through a bad seal, and an entrapment risk for swimmers. This kit lets a service technician remount the cover underwater, working from inside the pool, instead of scheduling a full drain-down for a dry repair.

Where the Pool Drain Repair Kit Is Used

• Main drain covers on in-ground pools and spas that have cracked, warped, or pulled loose from their original mounting
• VGB Act compliance repairs where an inspector has flagged a drain cover that no longer seats flush against the sump
• Service calls where draining the pool for a dry repair isn’t practical on the technician’s schedule or the customer’s budget
• New construction or renovation work where the original mounting points need to be re-bonded to spec

Pool Drain Repair Kit Specifications

• Two 4 inch PVC bondable drain cover mounting pieces, sized to standard sump openings
• One stainless steel turnbuckle style insertion tool for setting the mounting pieces underwater
• One hand drill included for pilot work (drill bits not included, source separately for the fastener size in use)
• Finish: primed, ready for a field-applied coating that matches the surrounding pool deck or liner
• Kit weight 2 lbs, packaged 6 x 6 x 6 in

Set both mounting pieces before tensioning the turnbuckle, so the cover seats evenly across the sump rather than pulling to one side. Pair this kit with an underwater-rated bonding adhesive sized to the PVC mounting pieces for a repair that holds under constant submersion.
