AquaStar 8" Main Drain – Pool Suction Drain Cover & Assembly
The AquaStar 8" Main Drain is a durable pool drain component designed to support proper water circulation and safe suction performance in residential swimming pools. Installed at the lowest point of the pool, the main drain plays a critical role in drawing water from the pool floor into the circulation system, helping maintain balanced flow, effective filtration, and consistent water quality.
Main drains are essential to overall pool hydraulics, working alongside skimmers to prevent stagnant water zones and support uniform circulation throughout the pool. A damaged, cracked, or improperly fitted drain can reduce circulation efficiency and create safety concerns. Replacing worn or outdated components with the AquaStar 8-inch main drain helps restore dependable performance and system integrity.
Manufactured by AquaStar, a trusted name in pool safety and circulation products, this main drain is engineered for reliable fit, durability, and long-term performance in residential pool environments.
