Swimming Pool Alarm - How to Have Peace of Mind About Your Swimming Pool When No One's Around 


Summer is here and this means going swimming, especially to kids. Unfortunately there are not as many swimming holes as we used to have, so people are turning to pools - usually in their own yard.

And with the price of gasoline skyrocketing, more and more people are staying home and are getting swimming pools in their yard to have a vacation at home.

Yes, swimming is a lot of fun and it's great exercise. But pools can also be very dangerous because of the threat of drowning, especially to children.

Did you know that drowning is the second leading cause of unintentional injury-related death of children?

It only takes about two minutes without oxygen to lose consciousness and within four to six minutes without oxygen, a child can have irreversible brain damage.

Does that get your attention? Good, because the way to ensure that kids are safe in and around a swimming pool is to have complete supervision when they're swimming.

But what about when your pool is 'closed' and no one is allowed to swim because there is no adult supervision? How can you be sure that no one tries to sneak in for a swim?

Now there's a gadget called a Pool Alarm that can be turned on when your pool is closed. The Pool Alarm comes with a remote receiver which can be placed in your home up to 200 feet from the main unit that is placed at the pool side.

The Pool Alarm can be a life saver because it is mounted to the side of the pool and has an electronic sensor that detects any agitation in the water other than ripples caused by the wind. When triggered, the Pool Alarm will give off a very loud noise around the pool as well as at the receiver placed inside your home.

That means that if the Pool Alarm detects any splashes in the water (other than those caused by wind) it will set off the alarm. Now if one of your children or anyone else tries to sneak a swim in your pool -- or even if your dog falls in -- then the alarm will notify you so you can get to the pool immediately. Then you can yell at the kids and explain how dangerous it is to swim alone.

If you have a pool in your yard you have to always be on the alert so that no children are swimming unsupervised. You also want to be assured that no one is in or near your pool without your knowledge. A Pool Alarm is your first line of notification that someone is fooling around in your pool.

One other thing -- make sure you instruct everyone in your family and in fact, everyone who uses your pool about safety. There are good signs available that you can place near your pool with swimming rules.

Remember, Safety First and Don't Be the Next Victim!

Swimming Pool Supplies

 

Many people who have the resources include a swimming pool in their residential plan. Swimming pools are a great way to beat stress and is one of the simplest ways of relaxing. However, swimming pools must be built and maintained in compliance with hygiene and safety standards. A swimming pool should be supported with the right pool equipments to ensure regular care and maintenance. It can be a daunting experience for many people to shop for the right swimming pool equipment. There is a multitude of retailers and suppliers that provide swimming pool accessories of various makes and models. These retailers offer swimming pool supplies through their local outlets as well as their websites.

A pool cover is one of the most essential swimming pool accessories as it protects children, pets and visitors from accidentally falling in to the pool when it is not guarded. A plastic cover protects the swimming pool from ice, dirt, and debris. Various types of pool covers include solar pool covers, automatic pool covers and screen pool covers.

A good skimmer is also a pre requisite for swimming pools that is used to remove leaves, twigs, insects and any other form of debris from the surface of the pool water. Generally, a skimmer looks similar to a large badminton racket. Typically, a skimmer is required on a daily basis to prevent the debris from clogging the water filters.

Antifreeze is a vital pool accessory for swimming pools constructed at places with very low temperatures. Antifreeze is poured into plumbing systems of the swimming pools before sealing them for the winter season.

Many pool owners buy exclusive pool furniture for a complete swimming experience. However, the basic pool furniture includes a few lounge chairs, a table and poolside canopy umbrellas. It is recommended to buy furniture items that have a rubber coating on the legs to avoid scratches on the pool paint. It should also be weather-resistant to increase durability.

Several swimming pool equipment suppliers offer regular discounts on their products. However, it is advisable to not compromise on quality of chemicals that are required to treat the pool water.
