Why do you need it?
There is a common misconception about why and who needs such an alarm system. Many people mistakenly believe that it is necessary only for families with small children. This is not true. Even if you do not have children, but have a pool, you should think about buying an alarm for it, because it will help protect guests or children who may accidentally enter your yard.
Types of alarms for pools
There are many different types of pool alarms. But despite this, they all have one purpose — to protect small children from the pool. If children are dangerously close to the pool, the alarm will immediately warn adults about it. Therefore, this device is not just an accessory, but also a life-saving device.
First, you need to decide on the type. Today, the market for pool accessories offers the following types of alarms:
- underwater;
- above-water;
- perimeter alarm.
The third type is the most popular today. The alarm is installed along the perimeter of the fence that surrounds your pool. The alarm will work depending on the model you choose. Basically, it sounds when someone passes through the gate unnoticed or the fence doors are accidentally left open. In principle, such systems are the most effective. If installed and used correctly, your child will never get into the pool without your permission.
Unfortunately, not everyone can use this type of alarm. They are only suitable for those who have a fence around the perimeter of the pool. If there is no fence, there are other types. Above-water alarms are triggered when someone comes too close to the pool. This alarm has its advantages because it can warn you before your child gets into the water, as soon as he or she gets close.
The only problem is false alarms. If your pool is not enclosed, then the wind can blow debris or an animal can come close. The alarm will also work in this case. You can avoid false alarms by using underwater alarm systems.
They are essentially similar to above-water devices, but instead of detecting movement around the perimeter of the pool, they detect movement inside. This means that you will be notified when something enters the water. So if your child gets into the pool, the alarm will automatically go off.
