We just bought a pool and am wondering about pool alarms.?

Question

an above ground pool....We have 4 boys and need a really good one. Any suggestions? NYS law requires an alarm, and with 3 toddlers, (I have common sense, I know not to leave them alone) and I need the extra security law or no law...please help with any reccommendations!

Answer 1

you could put a gate around the pool and when it is not in use, turn on the alarm. just a simple thought

Answer 2

If the alarms are like the one California requires they are a real pain, no shut off and a bypass allowing to go out but not in without the alarm going off and a 90db alarm.

But it sure beats the alternative.  Check www.looplock, they make fencing to secure pool area and also your city building code department to find out if they recognize the fence.  Here in California it is certified for day care facilities but will not replace property line fencing requirements.

Good Luck.

You're welcome!!
