Lawson Aquatics SuperSump main drains and SuperFlow grates

Pre-certified one-piece sumps and high-flow grates for compliant main drains

← Back to all productsRequest availabilityFacts verified against manufacturer literature 2026-09-16.

Overview

Lawson Aquatics' SuperSump is a one-piece injection-molded 18 x 18 inch sump and main drain that arrives pre-certified, so the pool builder avoids field-formed concrete sumps and the engineer's field certification they require. SuperFlow 18 x 18 inch grate tiles offer 54 percent open area and up to 1,040 gpm per frame-and-grate, and the frames can be ganged into 18 x 36, 18 x 54, 18 x 72 inch and larger arrays. It suits new construction and renovations at municipal and institutional pools that need high-flow, VGBA-compliant main drains.
