If you own a pool, you probably have a love/hate relationship with it. Most homeowners love the fact that they can cool off in the summer heat anytime they want with a quick dip in the pool and a refreshing beverage in their hand. Most homeowners also hate owning a pool because of the time and money it takes to maintain it. Regardless of how a homeowner feels about their pool, there is an aspect to pool ownership that should be taken very seriously – installing an alarm system.

In a way, a pool alarm system has the same goal as your home’s alarm system – alerting you to unapproved access. Typically, this means keeping small children outside of the pool area when they’re not properly supervised. There are a lot of different options for sensors that you could use. Some detect motion inside the pool, on the surface of the water, or at the pool’s perimeter. You may want to install a variety of sensors for your pool alarm system.
