Hello

I need advice about pool alarms, if indeed I am in the right place. My two girls are 3 and 5 years old and they just looove playing in the backyard and around the pool, so my wife and I talked about it and we decided to get this alarm.

There aren't many resources about this on the web, but some sites mentiones various types of pool alarms - those that go on the wrist and those that you have to install at, by, on, in the pool itself.

So, if anyone has any information about these, I could use some help in deciding which way to go. What should I consider when choosing the right type of these alarms?

Any help is most welcome, thanks.

Probably not much help, but if it were my children I would want physical pool protection and would not want to rely on an alarm. A neighbours small pool has a strong metal mesh over it, akin to the type seen on the building site fencing. Eyesore but safe. 

The only thing I would be relying on if my young kid was by a pool and couldn't swim is my eyes.

Have got a customer who WAS a lifeguard..

 

His daughter drowned in their pool in the garden. Whilst he was in the house. The guy is manic depressant now, totally blames himself.

 

You are right to look into this

Him being in the house might have been the problem. Like I said, my child near water there would only be one place if be. I wouldn't be wanting no robo alarm to be doing my job of supervising.

Yep, Would never leave my kids unattended near water.

I would empty it.

 

I wouldn't be able to rest.

Nick..................YOU ARE A GREAT DAD......... love you man xx

LOVE YOU TOO.

 

Need to meet up

I've mentally bumped it up my list of things to do. Be ready for a random phone call saying I am half hour away, but obviously turn me away if you are busy.
