Learning About Swimming Pool Alarms

Swimming Pool Alarms

Congratulations on taking the next step to safety-proofing your pool. With so many options available, there is plenty to consider when choosing the right pool or spa alarm for your back yard.

Several manufacturers have designed variations of alarm devices for pools and spas, yet not all are sufficiently effective. Pool alarms use sensory technology to track movements and changes in water levels; if you're a parent, and you have a pool, you should equip yourself with at least one form of alarm.

Alarms come in different forms, and are designed to detect movement at different points: Gate and door alarms are available for poolside entrances. Without an easy override set by an adult, a siren rings to alert that the entranceway has been opened.

Swimming pool alarms can work for above- and in-ground swimming pools. Typically, alarms are triggered when water levels are displaced by a fallen object of at least 18 pounds. Our featured manufacturers have consistently provided alarms that surpass their competition, and include added benefits such as dual sirens that will alarm in two separate locations.

We feature three lines. Should you require any help beyond the information we've provided here, we hope that you will give us a call (phone information is located on our Contact Us page). We're sure that you'll be satisfied, whether you choose a Poolguard alarm for your swimming pool and entryways, or a portable Safety Turtle pool alarm.

Poolguard, Safety Turtle and Aquaguard

We've taken the guesswork out of pool security, and have tested a number of alarms with safety, rather than sales, in mind.

We feature the Safety Turtle pool alarm as an alternative to traditional pool security. Designed for parents who know that their children will be around water, the Safety Turtle comes as a wristband that is worn by the child. Perfect for families who take lakeside camping trips or frequent the pool, the alarm signals as soon as the wristband is submerged in water.

Poolguard, another of our featured brands, is a leading manufacturer of pool, door and gate alarms. An innovator of "negative displacement technology," this line of swimming pool alarms detects water displacement without any further adjustments.

Aquaguard manufactures state-of-the-art sensors. This line is so advanced, it only sets off when it senses a change in water pressure and is programmed so that it won't set false alarms due to high winds.
