Aquaguard Pool Alarm – Even if You Don’t Have Kids, Get One

The Gadget Man is about to get preachy…

Keeping children safe from drowning in a pool is every pool owner’s responsibility, even if they don’t have kids. I live in a city where most houses have swimming pools, so throughout the year the local news is filled with stories of children drowning in pools. Most of the time, the kid drowns in a pool that isn’t even theirs! The hot weather drives them over to a neighbor’s yard. Many pool owners say “Well I installed a fence, so that should keep them out.” You know what one of my favorite outdoor activities was as a kid? Climbing fences. Unless your fence is electrified and topped with barbed wire, I don’t think that’s going to cut it.

That’s where the Aquaguard Pool Alarm System comes in. The Gadget Man has searched high and low for a good pool alarm and this looks like the best choice. When someone or something falls in your pool, this device lets loose with an alarm louder than most car alarms. The Aquaguard Pool Alarm secures to your deck with the included hardware and runs on batteries (an indicator tells you when they are low). But there are two reasons why I chose the Aquaguard Pool Alarm over the others:

1) The Remote Control: having a remote control is really no big deal, but having a remote control that also has a siren built in makes a huge difference. If you have sound-proof glass (which many people do), this feature alerts you when the alarm is going off.

2) It looks good: seriously, look at this thing. It looks like it belongs by the pool, like it’s just another piece of swimming pool equipment. I’ve looked at others and this definitely is the one that will not screw up the look of your pool.

So, if you own a pool, get an Aquaguard Pool Alarm System… even if you don’t have children of your own. A child slipping away from the parent should not mean that we brand the parent as “irresponsible” – kids are smarter than they let on. Eventually they will slip away from even the most watchful parent. But a device like the Aquaguard Pool Alarm can keep that brief slip from turning into another tragedy.
