How the Hydrostatic Valve Works

The Hydrostatic relief valve is located in the deepest part of your swimming pool. It may be under the main drain cover or in its own box situated on the bottom of the swimming pool. The purpose of the Hydrostatic relief valve is to act as a one way valve allowing water into the pool but not out of the pool. It opens when there is an excessive build up of water pressure under your pool This allows the ground water to enter the pool and keep the equilibrium between the pool and underground water to avoid damage to the pool.

Most Main Drain assemblies are designed with the same major components.

The Main Drain must be installed at the deepest point of the swimming pool so the water is able to drain completely from the swimming pool.
The valve stem protrudes into the gravel pit below the structure of the pool so the water can drain into the pool easily.
The hydrostatic valve is flitted into the base of the drain to stop water going out but allowing high pressure water in so the pool does not lift out of the ground.
