Pool Alarms - Keep Your Pool Safe

Statistics show that drowning is the number two cause of deaths for children who are age five and under and most of these accidents happen in residential swimming pools. Because of the deadly risks of having a pool, those with children in their homes should always take extra precautionary measures.
One effective way to prevent these accidents is by installing swimming pool alarms. These devices will sound an alarm when a child falls into the pool. In recent years, the sales of swimming pool alarms have greatly increased. However, pool owners have to be sure if the swimming pool alarms they bought meet new safety standards. For instance, swimming pool alarms in normal sized pools must sound off within 20 seconds when a child drops.
Parents and pool owners can choose from any of these types of swimming pool alarms: floating or surface alarms that detect motion on the water’s surface; underwater alarms that detect motion under water surface and it also reduces false alarms due to rain, for instance; and wristband alarms that children can wear and will sound off upon exposure to water.
Studies showed that the best choice among these three is the underwater alarm.
They are more consistent and reliable than floating swimming pool alarms. The wristband devices gave loud warning sound but any water exposure activates them. Make sure to use alarms with remote or in-home receivers to make sure the alarm sounds not only in the pool but also, more importantly, inside the house or typically up to about 200 feet away.
Aside from using swimming pool alarms, here are other swimming pool safety reminders:
- Surround the pool completely with barriers (fences, walls), which should be at least 4 feet in height and have self-latching gates to keep children away. Remember, that the latch should be out of reach of children.
- Install an approved automatic pool safety cover, which is typically made of durable polyester or tarpaulin sheet and rolled over the pool whenever it is not in use. Not only is this a cost-effective way to childproof your pool but it also keeps it clean. You can use underwater swimming pool alarms with this.
- Remove and lock away steps or ladders to aboveground pools whenever they are not in use.
- Place rescue equipment and a phone by the poolside. Parents or anyone looking after children should know how to give CPR.
Adding swimming pool alarms is a good way to make your swimming pools safe and prevent children from drowning. However, safety experts recommend that parents do not rely on swimming pool alarms alone but instead put in place other safety measures such the above-mentioned examples. In addition, close parental or adult supervision and emergency preparedness such as knowing how to administer CPR are also critical to prevent drowning tragedies.

Child Swimming Pool Drownings Are Heading To An All Time High!
Royal Life Saving Society Australia statistics showed that half of the children under the age of five that drown, do so in their backyard swimming pools or spas. In fact, on average one child dies each week in Australia as a result of preventable drowning.
The Pool Protector swimming pool safety alarm has been designed with Your Child in mind.
The Pool Protector Pool Alarm is the result of a combination of intellectualized quality design and high grade manufacturing techniques. The Pool Protector is an electronic monitoring system that automatically sounds an alarm when a child or pet falls into your unsupervised swimming pool. Pool Protector is a portable, self contained, light weight unit that is safe and simple to operate. Entry into the pool will be detected by the units state of the art electronic subsurface wave detection sensor, triggering a loud pulsating alarm.
When you want to use the pool, just set the system into the sleep mode. In sleep mode, thanks to the automatic rearming feature, if the alarm detects the pool hasn’t been used for 100 seconds (if there are no waves), THE SYSTEM WILL BE AUTOMATICALLY REACTIVATED. When you have finished swimming there are no waves in the pool. Only when the pool surface has remained flat for 100 seconds, the system reactivates giving plenty of warning that the system is about to reactivate. If you feel like just sitting back and relaxing quietly in your pool (if you are not making waves), simply set the system into sleep mode and you can temporarily remove the pool unit out of your pool to avoid unwanted automatic reactivation. If someone who does not know how to put the pool alarm in sleep mode attempts to remove the alarm, it will sound an alarm.
