Aquatic Technology & Your Swimming Pool Safety
Earlier having a swimming pool fences weren't mandatory. Number of accidents and deaths from drowning in swimming pool is still very common. Earlier due to no requirements for fences around
the pool and locking gates, the number of incidences were higher than they are now. But now, you cannot construct a swimming pool without installing pool fencing. Municipalities now require it as a part of the minimum level of security and it will be inspected by a code enforcement officer. Regardless of the fencing you install, a curious child can find a way to scale it and fall into the pool if it is unsupervised. Taking professional help from pool management companies can help you get rid of all these concerns and double the security measure for you. There have been many technological advances today that have moved pool security well beyond chain link fences. Many pool owners are now looking at
the security and safety of their swimming pools in a whole different light. Motion activated cameras are becoming a popular choice for many pool owners out there. These cameras work on the same premise as the infrared devices or motion-activated alarms. Cameras can be used to constantly monitor the area, sweep the pool area or can be programmed to activate once motion is detected in the vicinity. Motion activated cameras can also be equipped with an alarm that can sound when motion is detected as well and can be controlled with your Swimming Pool App. Pool owners are now looking for infrared motion detectors instead of pool fencing. Several types of pool alarms are being installed in swimming pools
and in fact some of which are made mandatory by municipal law. If you opt for an infrared motion detector, these devices sense when the light beam has been broken and sounds an alarm. These kind of detector offers myriad levels of sensitivity which is why having the right setting for the same is of utmost important as you don’t want your pool alarm going off if a leaf or a twig falls into the pool in the middle of the night. Floating security devices equipped with motion sensors are also available in the market to double up the safety measures for your pool. All these security items are usually battery operated. They sound an alarm when there is movement on the
water. Aquatic technology available in the market now takes a child and pets safety into consideration.
