What is the advantage of running a dual main drain setup as opposed to a singular? Is it to mitigate the risk of suction in the event someone were to sit on or get their hair stuck in the drain? I know that kids are instinctively drawn to differences in structure/protrusions in the walls and floors. (I am aware that most main drain covers are supposed to be anti-trapping as well...) That is what I had assumed and been led to believe...
My future pool builder is a strong advocate of dual main drains. I want to make sure this is right for me. He plans on installing four returns and one skimmer in conjunction w/ the dual main drains. How far apart, center to center should the dual main drains be for optimal safety?
I am aware that main drains are not explicitly necessary, but I do not know enough about pool plumbing to properly set things up on just the skimmer(s) and returns.
A search yielded some explanation, but all the links to supporting texts/articles were broken. Thanks for your help...
