Question I live in the town of Hempstead, NY before I bought my pool I wanted to do the right thing by having the proper permits. I am trying to find out what is and where does a vacuum breaker go for an above ground pool. I asked at 2 pool stores near me and they have no idea. I called 2 plummer and they don't know anything about it. Can you please advise.
Answer Its what it says,it prevents unwanted vacuum.If you go on line and type in vacuum breaker theirs a picture and great explanation.Their could be but I have not heard of a problem with a spa or pool needing one.A vacuum could prevent the movement of water.Lynn
