AquaGuard Pool Alarm System
 | |
Because it’s the most reliable consumer-installed pool alarm that detects a child or pet (18 lbs or more) falling into the pool or spa while being virtually immune to wind and false alarms. AquaGuard even works in pools with typical spa overflows and certain other water features.
When a child falls into the pool, the detector’s dual sirens insure that you hear the alarm outside (louder than a car alarm) while the remote unit’s siren sounds inside the house. They very much like the fact that the AquaGuard Pool Alarm is very easy to use and always lets you know when it’s armed. The two-way remote allows their customer to put the system into “swim stand-by” mode from the house and the system even rearms iteself after everyone has left the pool.
They think it is very important for you to know when the system is armed or in “stand-by” mode or if there is a low battery. For this reason, we provide a large visible LED on the detector which tells you exactly that and the wireless remote does the same. Whenever the system re-arms, you will get a clearly audible tone sequence.
Each AquaGuard Pool Alarm System includes a main unit (detector) and a wireless remote with transformer.
One AquaGuard Pool alarm sytsem will cover a typical 32' x 16' rectangular or kidney shaped swimming pool. If the pool is larger or irregular shaped, then you will need 2 systems. When using 2 systems, they can be operated via one wireless remote for ease of use. A spa will require a separate system.

Questions About AquaGuard
What is the minimum weight of a child/object falling into the pool?
The ASTM standard for pool alarms specifies a minimum weight of 18lbs (8kg).
What are the dimensions of the AquaGuard unit?
10” x 10” x 10” lengths by 2 ¾” high (Triangle shape)
I have had another pool alarm which was constantly triggered by wind. How is AquaGuard different?
This is one of the key differentiators in AquaGuard technology. It passed the stringent AFNOR test for high winds and represents a big leap in technology. It is very immune to false alarms due to high wind.
Questions About Pool Equipment Compatibility
Does AquaGuard work with a spa overflow?
Yes, it works with most overflows (typically 12” to 24” height)
Does AquaGuard work when my filtration cycle is on?
Yes, with no interference.
Does AquaGuard work with pool cleaners?
AquaGuard is compatible with pool cleaners if they stay on the bottom or slowly climb the walls (e.g. Hayward Navigator, Polaris 280, 380, 480 series, etc.). AquaGuard will not work with some new pool cleaners that can “fly” to the surface and swim there and then dive back to the bottom (e.g. Hayward Phantom since this mimics the profile of a small child falling into the pool). AquaGuard will also not work with pool cleaners such as Barracuda, which pulsate continuously when they’re on. If you have a pool cleaner that does not work with AquaGuard, then you have the option of exchanging it for one that is compatible.
Does AquaGuard work with an in-floor cleaning system?
AquaGuard works with in-floor cleaning as long as the detector is not close to nozzles on the first step of the stairs.
What kind of water features does the AquaGuard Pool Alarm work with?
AquaGuard works with most spa overflows. It will work with most sheer descents (typically 2 sheer descents in pool at 18” to 24” height). |
