Question 1

We have a self cleaning in floor system.  Will the movement of the water from this system set off the alarm? Meaning is it too sensitive?

Accepted Answer

My pool does not have a self cleaning system, so I can't say for sure. I do know that barely entering the pool slowly by using my walk in step, sets off the alarm with that gentle of a ripple, before I reach the final step. I would expect that the ripple of the hose across the top of the water's surface, although it is also a very slow movement, would set it off. The water's movement during a windy storm, sets it off. It is an amazing alarm and very sensitive.

Question 2

Does this meet new york state requirements  astmf2208?

Accepted Answer

Hello Cyndi,Based on the below requirement from the New York State, our Pool Alarm System meets the requirement because the main System is installed on the deck of the Pool, and the second unit (Alarm) is installed any where of choice inside the house.After you buy the required Batteries and install them, then setup the Pool Alarm System it goes to work immediately by alerting you with a very loud voice once a movement is detected in the Pool.NOTE: That our Pool Alarm will continue to go-off each time there is a movement in the Pool. So, if you are going to be in the Pool all day, you must switch-off the Alarm from the main unit in the Pool, and also MUTE the Base inside your house, or where ever you put the base-unit.We have many customers from New York State that asked the same question and they also bought our Pool Alarm after reading our answers on the similar questions just like yours.Below are the requirements by New York State which our Pool Alarm met, and ours is not worn on the body at all.Pool Alarm Requirements:Every swimming pool that is installed, constructed or substantially modified after December 14, 2006 must be equipped with an approved pool alarm which:is capable of detecting a child entering the water and giving an audible alarm when it detects a child entering the water;is audible poolside and at another location on the premises where the swimming pool is located;is installed, used and maintained in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions;is classified to reference standard ASTM F2208, entitled Standard Specification for Pool Alarms (either the version adopted in 2002 and editorially corrected in June 2005, or the version adopted in 2007); andis not an alarm device which is located on person(s) or which is dependent on device(s) located on person(s) for its proper operation.A pool alarm must be capable of detecting entry into the water at any point on the surface of the swimming pool. If necessary to provide detection capability at every point on the surface of the swimming pool, more than one pool alarm must be installed.Let us know if our answers took care of your questions and concerns--ok!And if you still have more questions, feel free to ask us and we will answer all of them to your satisfactions.Otherwise, go ahead and buy from us as many as you want and we will ship them out after the Labor Day.Sincerely,Mr. Nelson A.Night ManagerTakabis Global Technology Company

Question 3

Hi, I have a deck around my pool with a slight lip about 2 or 3". Can this alarm be adjusted to I can screw into the deck and still reach in the pool

Accepted Answer

Hello TwinMom,Every Pool Alarm is designed to make contact with the water movement in the pool so it can trigger the alarm.So, if you mount it on your deck and it doesn't reach the water, it defeats the purpose.There is no adjustment from the unit to make it reach the pool from your deck.Here is what you can do that we also do each time we go to our clients to install the Pool Alarm.You can easily use a Heavy Duty Velcro Weatherproof (hot and cold temperature) for outdoor use and install the Pool Alarm.It's very easy to install and if you want to take the alarm inside your house at the end of the day, you simply remove it and put it back again when next you want to protect the Pool.But to be honest with you, you don't need to take it out because the purpose of the pool alarm is to alert you when your kids, pets or any other moving objects approaches the Pool.Just our suggestion, but you can do whatever you want--that's your choice--ok!Good Luck and Cheers,Takabis Global Technology Co.,
