High Tech Security For Above Ground Swimming Pools
Above ground swimming pools not only kick up the fun factor in backyard but they also increase the risk factors well
. There's the risk of minor injuries from things like slips and falls and you will encounter them because they they just come with the territory.
However, it's the risk of drowning that you never want to encounter. The good news is that thanks to a host of new high-tech developments the risk of drowning in above ground swimming pools can be slashed down to an absolute minimum. High-tech devices that work as your eyes and ears when you're not around.
Body Heat and Motion Detectors
Body heat and motion detection systems have been around for a while now, so this really isn't recent news. What is recent news though, is how low the prices have dropped on them. So not only are they far more affordable but they even available now as wireless systems that take only minutes to set up right out of the box.
The sensors themselves can now be purchased online for as little as $20 each. Sensors that operate even in the rain and that can also distinguish between a child and a small animal. These systems have become so advanced that you can buy one now that will even call you on your phone to tell you if someone has entered your yard.
Water Surface Motion Sensors
Then for your second security layer in the event that a child does make it past your outer security system there are now devices that float on the surface of the pool. Battery operated devices that sound the alarm once they detect motion in the water caused by someone entering your pool.
They can't be removed either because just that alone will set the device off, so once you put in the pool it's there to stand guard until you return and switch it off with the remote. Also just like your outer layer of body heat and motion detecting system these floating sensors can also call you on the phone if it's activated.
The Bottom Line
So above ground pools can be made a whole lot safer today. It's just a matter of how much you're willing to invest to eliminate the risk. Now if the price seems too high then you need to stop and consider what's at stake here because what you're protecting really is priceless.
