ObscuredByClouds Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
norman Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 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. Nothing is foolproof to a sufficiently talented fool.

matthew.brough Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 The only thing I would be relying on if my young kid was by a pool and couldn't swim is my eyes. www.securitywarehouse.co.uk/catalog/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

matthew.brough Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 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. www.securitywarehouse.co.uk/catalog/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

arfur mo Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 back on topic, Safest way is always to have an alert attentive adult watching them closely, but i know from my own beautiful fearless head strong precocious 9 year old granddaughter, kids can be very slippery, disobedient and devilishly fast just that time when you loose concentration, even for a few seconds distracted for say a neighbour phone call, or to adjust the cooker etc. i'd suggest fit a camera to watch the pool area at all times wired to a monitor or a dedicated Tv located in a prime position, only ever as a backup. you can get external flood lights (that need wiring in to the mains) that have a baby alarm type plug in chime, works day or night, again never as a primary protection device, but a useful aid if a kid go's to the WC then slips out to the pool un-noticed, available from CEF electrical suppliers, i think about £45 and you can have additional plug in chime units. i've seen that orange plastic site netting used over pools, and there is the purpose made netting used for fish ponds to stop people falling in unfortunately nothing can compare with a humane observing intently, anything else would always be a calculated gamble, so as i don't want them to be mentally damaged by unreasonable oppressive child safety, tie them to the washing line and just hose those little blighters down lol!

Alarm Protection Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 Empty the death trap untill the kids can swim! ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arfur mo Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 on a lighter side, few years back i was awoken by the sound of rain, thought thats odd as it was not forecast, then it really pelted down, as i sat uo there was a very loud whoosh! and i rushed ti the patio door, to see plant pots floating by and eater a foot up the door. Daft reaction, i went to open the door and remembered just in time it was not a good idea. Tops out we had a 15 foot pool on our patio, type with the air ring around the top. we think a fox or squirrel bit through the cover while after bugs and punctured it . We were lucky in that thus door is a slide and tilt, often in summer we lock it tilted, but nit that night as we would have flooded throughout A very sad Tragedy, if taught, apparently kids can swim before they can walk, i like the fact a baby can hang from a washing supporting its own weight. So why is it we don't use this to our advantage? Nappy gets filled, into pond/pool for a rinse, baby hang from washing line until nappy dried - sorted .
