I'm a lifeguard at a gym in WA. Today maintenance said we would have to close the pool to kids for about 3 months until we were compliant with this act. I thought this was a matter of changing the main drain covers and refilling the pool, which should only take about 2 weeks at most. Maintenance also said this fix took city approval and a bunch of other bureaucratic bs. Do you need certified this and that or can you just install the drain covers yourself and have the state inspect it? Also is it just the drain covers or is there more stuff that needs work in the pump room?

Are there any GPM or vacuum limitations on this Act? I have felt the drains and didn't feel any kind of vacuum. Seems like a stupid law.
