Pool Alarm Systems

Drowning prevention begins and ends with proper adult supervision. To achieve enjoyment and peace of mind, incorporating as many water safety features as possible is essential.

There are different types of pool alarm system. The ground alarms offer double protection because you are notified before anyone enters a pool. The infrared motion detector helps to detect anyone going near the pool. The receiver present in your home signals you with a voice announcement when the perimeter alarm is set off. The immersion detector present below the water has a sensor to detect objects breaking the surface. This virtually eliminates false alarms. The siren starts sounding when objects weighing 15lbs or more fall into the pool. The subcategory of ground alarms is the ones that have an electronic sensor that detects any entry into the pool. This alarm features automatic reset after 5 minutes of alarming.

The other category is the child alarm that is a wristband protective gear for children. It is activated the moment it is immersed in water. Activation connects the unit to a base station. The base station can monitor multiple safety wristband alarms of the same color.

The third category is the door and gate alarm. The alarm sounds if a gate or door is left open and is easily mounted to a gate or door. The alarm lets off a siren when children pass through the gate. The door alarm comes with two magnetic switches, a hook-up wire, and operates on one 9-volt battery. When a child opens the door, the alarm sounds in seven seconds intervals continuously. The alarm will sound even if the child leaves and closes the door.
