Thank you Chas, for the second post, and Zep.

I am a non technical person and was nervous about what I read which is why I cam here for help.  As I understood it, the danger it from children getting attached to the drain not sucked into it.  The strong suction makes it impossible to free the child.  

Whwen I googled it, Vac Alert came up, that site had a collection of articles and that is why I posted from there.

I gather from Zep that Cal Spas addressed the danger.

I do have a brother named Jim, both of us are in NY.

Chas, you didn't see the sarcasm in my typing when I said "if you leave the kids alone in the tub for a couple hours"

My boys would of had to been about 5 years old to get stuck on one of my suctions. Because they are very big boys, and until they were 10-12 they would never of been left alone in the tub and at that time they were allredy very big. Just not enough suction in my tub to do much.
