Swimming Pool Alarms

Swimming pool alarms and accidental drowning. A quality water alarm can help with safe pools for your children and pets.

Swimming Safety

Why a swimming pool safety alarm? According to drowning statistics, it can take a little as two inches of water for a child to drown. Most drowning take place at home with one or both parents supervising and the child had been seen within 5 minutes before drowning.

Swimming pool alarms are great if:

If you have a pool

You have children or pets

If your neighbor has children or pets

While adult supervision is the best protection against children drowning, who can be "on" all the time? Even a quality pool door alarm is better than nothing.

There are times when even the best parent in the world can take their eyes off a child for a minute or two, and that's all it takes. The time is takes to use the restroom or make a cup of coffee is the time a tragedy can happen.

An inground pool alarms or above ground pool alarms can add that needed protection for your swimming safety.

Most pool alarms will cover a 24ft. round or a 16 X 32 oval swimming pool. If you have a larger pool, you may need laser alarms.

Although these kinds of alarms are good, they are not perfect. If you plan on swimming or cleaning the pool you'll need to turn the unit off, which means you need to remember to turn it back on. Also, these kinds of units don't cover lakes, streams, play or kiddie pools.

Also look into pool door alarms that can add an extra layer of protection.
