I have a six year old daughter that loves to swim in our backyard swimming pool. We worry about safety since our dog had fallen into the pool and drowned a coupe summers ago.
After that incident, I bought a Pool Alarm from the home alarm shop. It has an electronic monitoring system which automatically makes a loud noise when kids or even pets plunge into my unguarded pool.
It is very easy to set up and use. Now we know if our daughter decides to get into the pool with out our knowledge by setting off an alarm inside our house.
Once this alarm is armed it cannot be turned off, but it can be put into sleep mode. With a setting like this you will be constantly ready for it to alarm if something ever falls into the pool and is in danger. This pool alarm was delivered to my house and came with simple instructions how to set it up. I was able to do it all by myself.
Two days after we got our pool alarm from the home alarm shop, we invited some neighbors over for lunch. One of our neighbors brought her 5 year old daughter with her.
One of the neighbors brought up that the five year old couldn’t swim. I knew how important this was so I went and turned the pool alarm from sleep mode to active in case there was any kind of emergency. This way we would be ready. We then went outside to watch the children play.
Less than five minutes later, the pool alarm made a deafening noise. I was thinking at first that it was just malfunctioning, however, when I checked outside I found my daughter struggling in the deeper part of our pool.
I absolutely know that the device I got from the home alarm shop saved my daughter’s life and also that my pets are safe now that we have it too. Once the alarm sounded I was able to reach her before she could even breathe water into her small lungs.
