AquaStar Pool Products – New Product Announcement
Introducing a game-changing VGBA-2017 compliant unblockable option for drain covers
Ventura, CA— August 22nd, 2022 — AquaStar Pool Products, Inc., a leader in Virginia Graeme Baker Act (VGBA) compliance, announces a new product offering to the trade. AquaStar’s Perfect Circle™ drain is an unblockable option designed for use in concrete pools and spas. It has four ports which gives designers the ability to use multiple pumps and a hydrostatic relief valve with this one single unblockable drain cover.
AquaStar President Olaf Mjelde says “As many know the VGBA standard continues to evolve, with changes to it implemented as recently as May 2021. Our team is always looking to provide installers with cutting-edge solutions, and we feel the capability of our new Perfect Circle drain is unlike anything the market has seen before.”
With advanced water stop technology, the Perfect Circle drain not only gives installers more flexibility with the modern pool setup; it also reduces the potential for leaks and costly future repairs. The product’s unique open center design allows the cover to blend seamlessly into the pool or spa finish.
“Every year we talk with the country’s most reputable builders and applicators at events like the National Plasterer’s Conference, for example, to gather real-time feedback on what solutions they would like to see from manufacturers,” says Todd Pieri, AquaStar Chief Operating Officer. “We continuously heard that Pool Pros loved our existing Full Circle™ drain but wanted more flexibility with multiple port configurations. By listening to our customer base, our team was able to design this exciting new product.”
AquaStar’s Director of Science & Compliance, Steve Barnes, also adds “This product allows designers to achieve very high flow rates, up to 400 gpm with just one single unblockable drain. The four-port Perfect Circle is ideal for today’s multi-pump designs that we are seeing so often in new construction projects. The best part, these are NSF certified configurations, making permitting easier.”
