Pool Alarms for Small Pools

Ensuring safety for your small pool can be simple with the right alarm. Consider alarms like the Safety Technology Pool Alarm, budget-friendly at $169.00, which monitors water disturbances. 

More than 900 children between 1 and 14 die each year in drowning accidents. In California, drowning is the number one cause of accidental death for children 1-4 years of age. But, do you really need these statistics to convince you to do everything you can to prevent this from happening to your child or grandchild?

Types of Pool Alarms

There are two main types of pool alarms for small pools: surface detection alarms and sub-surface alarms.

Surface detection alarms detect splashes, which makes them ideal for recognizing when someone enters the pool. On the other hand, sub-surface alarms are submerged and sense underwater movements like kicking legs, offering reliable detection without frequent false alarms.

The POOL ALARM is an electronic monitoring system that automatically sounds an alarm when children or pets fall into your unsupervised pool. It’s portable, self-contained and light weight. The unit is simple to operate. Entry into the pool will be detected by the Pool Alarm’s electronic sensor, triggering a loud pulsating alarm at the unit and inside your house from the remote receiver. The Pool Alarm installation is very easy. It sits on the pool deck as shown in the picture. It is very easy to use with control button operation and will automatically arm the unit once you are done swimming.

When choosing a pool alarm, you’ll want to take into account the detection and sensitivity levels, which guarantee the alarm accurately monitors water activity.

Equally important are the installation and maintenance requirements, as these factors influence how quickly and easily you can set up and keep the system running.

Understanding these key features will help you find the best alarm for your small pool.

The Pool Alarm comes with a remote receiver with flashing light which can be mounted in your home up to 300 feet from the main unit. It comes with a 12 volt power supply. The Pool Alarm uses 6 D batteries (not included) which should last approximately one year. There is an audible low battery indicator which will sound at the poolside alarm and the remote receiver. Both the indoor and outdoor alarms reach 85db within 11.5 feet.
