Pool Safety Tools And Equipment Reviewed

If you are a swimming pool owner or if you are interested in becoming one, it is important to familiarize yourself with pool safety tools and equipment pieces. Although law may not require these items, they are always recommended.

One of the most important pieces of pool safety equipment that you could ever invest in is that of a pool fence. Laws for pools that contain more than 24 inches of water often require pool fences. Even when law does not require a pool fence, one should be installed. They are considered a must for inground pools. When a pool safety fence is properly used, the risk of drowning related accidents significantly decrease.

Before buying a pool fence, you are urged to review your local and state laws. With that said, all pool fences should be at least four feet high, come with a self-closing gate, and latch. You should have freedom when choosing which style fence you want. Wrought iron, mesh, wood, and chain-linked fences are popular.

In keeping with pool safety fences, it is a wise idea to examine gate alarms. These are alarms that will attach to the gate of your fence. When the alarm is activated and the gate opens, the alarm should sound. If you have children in your home who are not allowed to swim unsupervised, but do know how to open the gate, an alarm should be considered a must have.

Pool safety covers are another pool safety tool that you may want to use. However, know that there is a difference between traditional pool covers, such as solar covers, and safety covers. Safety covers should not be walked or played on, but they are designed to withstand the weight of an adult.

Pool alarms are a pool safety tool that is still relatively unheard of. With that in mind, the level of protection that they provide should be screamed from the rooftops. All pool owners should have a pool alarm installed. Of course, nothing is as safe as a constant supervision and pool fences, but pool alarms aren’t far behind. When activated, pool alarms will sound when they notice a disturbance in the water. Since many fatalities occur when no one is supposed to be swimming, pool alarms can help to save lives.

Although not as highly regarded as pool safety covers, pool fences, and alarms, pool safety hooks are always a good idea to have on hand. These hooks are also commonly marketed and sold as Shepard’s hooks. In the event of an emergency, they can be used as a lifesaving device. Adults are able to use the hook to grab the swimsuit or clothing of a swimmer in trouble and pull them to the surface and then the side of the pool. Despite the recommendation, know that nothing is better than a strong adult swimmer who can provide aid and assistance.

As you can see, a number of safety tools and equipment pieces can be used to keep your pool fun and safe this summer. In fact, there are other items available for sale as well. You may want to just start shopping and see what you find available. As an important reminder, all of the pool safety tools in the world cannot and should not replace the watchful eye of an adult.
