pool alarm

Water safety device

A pool alarm is a safety device that detects unauthorized or accidental entry into a swimming pool, alerting nearby adults with a loud sound.

Most models sense water displacement when someone falls in, though some use motion detection or wearable wristbands that trigger when submerged.

Required by law in some jurisdictions, especially for homes with young children: We installed a pool alarm after the baby started walking.
