Keeping Your Pool Safe With a Pool Alarm

Comment

Now is the time to get your pool ready for spring and summer. Out of all the steps that are taken to open your pool for the season, one of the most important steps of all is protecting your loved ones with a working pool alarm.

Your pool will provide your family with countless hours of enjoyment. However it is also a potentially dangerous place for small children and pets. Accidental drowning is the leading cause of death in children under the age of 5 and the second leading cause of death in children under age 14.

The new PoolSonix pool alarm uses seismic technology to detect unwanted or accidental intrusions into your swimming pool. If a child or pet accidentally falls into your pool the PoolSonix will detect the movement and a loud 110 decibel alarm will sound at the pools base unit and an 85 decibel alarm will sound inside the house. This will absolutely facilitate immediate response which is most crucial in preventing catastrophic pool accidents.

Try the PoolSonix solar powered pool alarm and gain the peace of mind that your loved ones are safe during your pool season!
