Model # VA2000L
Vac-Alert™ Model VA-2000L – Safety Vacuum Release System (SVRS) for Suction Lift Applications
Protects Against Entrapment | Prevents Pump Damage | NSF & ASME Compliant
The Vac-Alert™ VA-2000L is a specialized Safety Vacuum Release System (SVRS) designed specifically for suction lift applications, where the pump suction is located at or above the pool water surface level. This model provides critical protection against suction entrapment hazards and also safeguards pump operation in elevated suction configurations.
Engineered with a 0.170” diameter orifice, the VA-2000L is optimized to prevent nuisance tripping caused by vacuum surges during pump startup. Its unique check valve assembly integrates a 3.5 lb spring, poppet disc, and one-way vented poppet—delivering precise pressure management and allowing partial water flow to the circulation pump, even when the SVRS is in the vented (open) position.
This critical feature helps prevent dry-run conditions and protects pumps in systems with up to 3.5 feet of suction lift.
Key Features:
Purpose-Built for Suction Lift Systems
Ideal for elevated pump installations or above-grade circulation systems.
Nuisance Trip Reduction
0.170" orifice dampens high vacuum surges from startup, preventing false activations.
Intelligent Check Valve Assembly
3.5 lb spring provides consistent backpressure
Poppet disc allows controlled water flow when vented
One-way vented poppet permits recharging after pump shutdown
Dry-Run Protection
Maintains partial flow to pump during SVRS activation—helps eliminate potential damage from sustained dry conditions.
Automatic Reset & Recharge
System recharges internally when the pump is turned off—no manual intervention required.
Durable & Reliable
Built for continuous use in commercial or residential pool/spa systems with suction lift configurations.
