Pool AlarmsMore and more communities are passing ordinances that require pool owners to have a pool alarm and at least a four-foot fence around a pool. Protecting children and animals, pool alarms are relatively inexpensive devices that provide both security and peace of mind for as little as $5-$75.

Most pool alarms today are very easy to install. Most are battery powered, requiring only a 9-volt battery that usually lasts for at least a year. Most pool alarms signal loud pulsating or ringing claxons that average between 80-120 decibels. These alarms usually reset themselves after five minutes, but can be operated through remote controls. Before buying a pool alarm, chech out the models available. Find one that fits the look, dcor, and needs of your property. Ask yourself if your main purpose for a pool alarm is for security from strangers or to protect young children. Finally, verify that any model you purchase meets all the ASTM (or comparable) safety standards.
