My phobia doesn’t have its own name but the category it fits into is submechanophobia which is a fear of submerged man made objects. From a young kid I was always afraid of the filters or intakes at the bottom of swimming pools. they are really scary looking and I was afraid that my hair could get caught in them or they could suck me towards them. I would get nightmares of gigantic pool intakes sucking me down and drowning me. There was a story that at my local pool, a young girl got her hair caught in one and almost drowned and a young disabled boy got sucked down in the hot tub and died. Super scary stuff. Also watching that one final destination scene with the guy getting sucked to the bottom of the pool and dying only helped solidify my fear. I still get chills to this day even just looking at them and I try to avoid them when I see them.
