Product details

The Poolguard PGRM-SB Safety Buoy is a floating alarm for above ground pools, soft sided and portable pools and spas. It sits in the water rather than mounting to a wall, which is what makes it work on pools that have nothing to bolt to.

How it senses

The buoy uses sub-surface detection rather than reading the surface, which is how it separates a person entering the water from wind, rain and small objects blowing across the top. Poolguard has it tested and certified by NSF International to ASTM F2208, the residential pool alarm standard, and it is the only floating alarm the company builds with sub-surface sensing.

Living with it

Alarm functions run off the unit red key. Removing or replacing the buoy with the key is silent, but taking it out of the pool any other way sounds the alarm, so it cannot quietly be defeated. It stays on and cannot be switched off, and it goes into sleep mode when you lift it out to swim. The remote receiver reaches 200 ft, so the alert follows you indoors. It runs on one 9 volt battery, which is not supplied, and it warns audibly when that battery is low.

What it is and is not

An alarm is a layer, not a barrier. Use it alongside fencing, supervision and the other requirements your local barrier laws set out.

Yes. The in-house remote receiver has a 200 ft range so the alarm is audible away from the pool.
Does it need a battery?

Will wind and rain set it off?
The sensing technology is designed to reduce false alarms from wind, rain and small objects by detecting below the surface rather than at it.
