LA Pool

Flash Forward to 2021.....wish I would have seen this post during design of our in ground pool with pool cover. Too my horror, the first time my son and all his friends jumped in the new pool, half of the pool splashed into the pool vault and drained like a flash flood down the street... Is there a steel flashing solution or other simple construction solution to prevent the water loss into the pool vault? The pool cover contractor wants to install the "flap" to contain the problem. Seems like there could be a more discrete solution. Our vault has proper drainage, but the entire design seems flawed if you loose that much water every time someone jumps into the pool.
