Swimming pool alarm options
For homeowners who live in busy residential subdivisions or any neighborhood where there are small children, it pays to take precautions. Kids can become drawn to the water, curious about swimming pool toys and swimming pool games or even accidentally enter yards where there are pools. A child's natural tendency to explore is charming, but no one wants to see him or her get injured - and most homeowners can't afford to deal with the lawsuit than can result from an unsecured body of water. If a fence is not an option, or you want an added layer of protection around a fence, a swimming pool alarm is a must-have.
Choices in alarms range from a gate/door unit to protect the perimeter of fenced-in pools to various models designed for in-ground and above-ground uses. Many models come with adjustable sensitivity so homeowners can "screen out" objects over a certain weight, such as pets and swimming pool toys, and prevent false alarms from waves or the elements.
To protect young children you know from accidentally taking a plunge, a unique personal swimming pool alarm is a potential lifesaver. The Safety Turtle works by signaling alarms on a base unit anytime the remote wristband is immersed in water. By placing the base inside the home or outside the swim area, and then strapping the wristband on the child, a parent or babysitter will know immediately if the youngster falls into the water. (Rain or sink splashes will not activate false alarms.) This unit is also great for protecting small pets or adult non-swimmers, and additional wristbands can be purchased for use with one base unit.
