Some builders install channel main drains, the idea is the suction is spread across a longer surface area. Unfortunately these channel drains over some time become weak and are prone to failure. Here is an example of the stress causing the channel drain to concave.
Pool Solutions can temporarily seal the seam, but this is not a durable repair, due to the stress on the pool floor the sealant will re-open and leak in the future.
We are the professionals with a final Solution. We would convert the channel main drain to 2 standard 8 inch main drains, and still stay compliant of the Virginia Graeme Baker Pool and Spa Saftey Act.
