Yes, the Vac-AlertTM Model VA-2000 meets or exceeds material and performance requirements for a Safety Vacuum Release System (SVRS). The International Building Code (IBC) and the International Residential Code (IRC) both mandate “three layers of protection.” IBC 3109.5 and IRC AG 106 require all pools and spas (regardless of water depth) to be equipped with an accepted method for vacuum relief. These codes call for devises that meet ASME A112.19.17 standards to provide this vacuum relief. The vast majority of state and local governments utilize the IBC and the IRC codes as models for their own codes.
