Flush Pool Equipment Pad Trench-Drain Collars

A pool equipment pad needs a flush trench-drain collar when rinse water and filter backwash leave the pad and cut a channel under the paver edge. PaverForge Hardscapes sets that collar in the finished field so the water hits a trapped drain instead of the bedding sand.

This is not a splash pad at the discharge hose. The collar is the frame at the pad itself: a recessed channel, a grate that sits level with the pavers, and a pitch that keeps the pump slab dry without a trip lip at the screen door.

We isolate the pad from the pool deck, leave service clearance around the pump and heater, and tie the trench to a trapped outlet so chlorine water does not sit in the joints. The grate stays removable for a snake without lifting the field.

Call PaverForge Hardscapes at 727-490-9798 for an equipment-pad drain collar in St. Pete Beach, Gulfport, Treasure Island, or mainland Pinellas. Photos of the pad edge and the low joint are enough to start a quote.
