As we round the corner toward summertime, we think of many of the popular activities associated with sunshine and warm weather. Swimming in a pool, for example, can be refreshing, fun, and great exercise for the whole family. However, owning a pool comes with many responsibilities – not least of which is keeping little ones safe around it. It’s with this responsibility in mind that many homeowners invest in pool alarm systems.
Pool alarms can come in a variety of types. For example, there are sub-surface disturbance sensors. This is a big name for sensors that detect a change in pressure against the pool walls, such as from waves of water. Alarms can also make use of surface wave sensors, which float on the top of the water, and when the water hits two contacts on the sensor, the alarm is activated. In any event, it’s important to choose the type of pool alarm sensors that work best for your family’s safety.
