Product Overview

The Pentair A&A AVSC Single Pebble Top Channel Drain White | 288101 is a heavy-debris removal drain designed for Pentair A&A in-floor pool cleaning and circulation systems. Its unblockable channel-style design helps support safe suction performance while allowing efficient debris removal and water circulation.

The white pebble-top cover is designed to sit flush with the pool floor and blend more naturally with plaster, pebble, or aggregate pool finishes. This makes it a strong choice for new pool construction, remodels, and replacement installations where both performance and appearance matter.
