Product Overview
The AquaStar 32" Channel Drain Model 32CDFL101 is a high-capacity drainage and suction-outlet solution engineered for professional pool builds requiring robust flow rates and anti-entrapment safety. Its 32-inch channel length provides broad coverage, while the flat-grate design offers a sleek, low-profile appearance that integrates cleanly into pool decks.

Flow ratings of 316 GPM (floor) and 208 GPM (wall) provide ample capacity for many commercial or high-flow pool systems. Constructed from UV-stable engineered polymer and compliant with the latest safety standards, the 32CDFL101 combines durability, appearance, and regulatory compliance in one ready-to-install kit.

Ideal for concrete or gunite pools, this model supports new construction or upgrades where aesthetics and code compliance matter. The white finish helps it blend with standard deck surfaces, while the high-flow, anti-entrapment design ensures both performance and safety for the aquatic environment.
