Pool Alarm System - Pool Motion Sensor with Advanced Algorithm - Smart Pool Alarm That is Application Controlled. Powerful Sirens Blare at Poolside and Indoors

This is worth the money! I researched pool alarms when I became a grandma. This alarm is pricey, but worth the money. The alarm is easy to set up. The home unit is VERY loud. It works when something falls or drops into the pool and even when the solar cover is lifted. I bought this last summer. When I tried to use it this user, it wouldn’t work. I emailed tech support and told them what was happening and sent pictures of my unit and the app. They sent me a new pool unit for free. Would highly recommend this company!

The past few weeks have been great! We had such peace of mind knowing we had this as a 2nd layer of protection. It worked great, passed every test with flying colors and we loved that it would re-set itself after we swam. But then, sadly, the reviews proved true: Now we're getting random false alarms throughout the day and night when the pool is perfectly still (see photo) not a ripple, not a breeze. Which thank God, brought to my attention that it was malfunctioning in other ways too. Aside from the false alarms, it wasn't protecting our pool when we thought it was. I tried turning it off and on, changing the sensitivity, checked the batteries, nothing has worked. It goes from being "ON" to "STANDBY" automatically offering us ZERO protection without us knowing. When it did manage to stay "ON" it failed every test run. We would have to be on top of it splashing for the alarm to sound. SO SCARY and DISAPPOINTING. LIFE BUOY - If your going to make a product to help prevent drowning, PLEASE make a product that is reliable and that WORKS!!! There are lives at stake here. If GOD FORBID, a child or pet drowns with one of these in the pool, where the family thought it was working and trusted this....?????????? Isn't there a product out there that actually works? It's hard to comprehend why with today's technology and resources, no one can get this right. The app is a whole other story. Crap. You have to be standing next to the unit for it to work. Lifebuoy Pool Alarm System - Great concept, bad execution. NOT RELIABLE. SO disappointing.

Stopped working after a few month - wrote an email to the company and they sent me a replacement, whcih works so far. Good customer service as they sent a new device, let's wait how long it will work, hopefully it will last more than one pool season. For that price it should last a few years one might think. Warranty expires after a year, a bummer if it brakes again after that year. Will keep you updated! Update in new Pool Season 2022: Still having issues, you arm it and after a few hours you see that it's suddenly disarmed. Did not touch it in the meantime. So this is not really helping me saving my kids from drowning. No, i would not recommend to buy it, sorry... UPDATE JUNE 2022: I got contacted by the support team, they did send me a new home unit, which made the connection better, but still failed a couple of times, then i received additional a new pool unit and now everything seems to work. So the customer service is really good . i changed from 1 star to 5 stars because of the good customer service!

Its not a bad system and most definitely kudos for having an app. I went thru a few pool alarms and most of them underperformed or installation was terrible. This one is not bad. What i like anout the app is that it tells you how good of a signal is between the sensor and the receiver so u can find optimum spot for it. Unfortunately my pool is about 25ft away from the house so the only good line of sight was for me to prop it against the window (see pics). I used 3m adhesives and a zip tie for it. The app and reciver uses bluetooth but i wish all the components would use WiFi instead this way it could be connect a lot further and the app can stay connected while im walking around the house. Maybe next gen will have that? Amd also maybe make the receiver weather resistant so it could be placed outside?

Edit: Was able to email the company and the immediately shipped out a new unit under the 1 year warranty. Glad that they stepped up and did the right thing. This device worked "OK" for the first 6 months. Now at 8 months, as soon as it's turned on, it sounds the alarm. I have tried resetting it, removing it from the water for a day, nothing works. This is an expensive piece of equipment and should work longer than 6 months. If you would like a product to ENHANCE the safety around your pool...then look else wear.

This is my 3rd summer using this system...I have an above ground pool with small children. We have a locked gate and alarms on our house doors but I felt I needed one more notification alarm for the pool. This alarm is loud and effective to all disturbances to the surface of the water. I can adjust the sensitivity with the app on my phone. Super easy to install... I opened the box, downloaded the app, made sure the batteries were on, and place the unit in the pool with the provided string that has lasted all 3 summers. The inside unit looks like a smoke detector and easy to push to turn off the alarm. A few minor issues include: when you replace the batteries in the house unit the wires are short and makes getting the 9v battery a little difficult to get in or out without pulling too hard on a wire. And the pool unit collected moisture last year and corroded the batteries but the company immediately sent me out a new pool unit that is working perfectly! The price was a bit much but worth the peace of mind. I never let my guard down with the pool and my kids but this Alarm has been very helpful and I highly recommend it!

This product is awesome. We don't have a pool fence and a ton of doors leading out to the pool area. We have those chimes on the doors letting us know when people go out, but it always sounds like a convenience store in here. We thought a pool alarm would be a better option. This was super easy to set up. As soon as it was in, I decided to test it by throwing things into the pool at different locations and it sensed all of them. No issues with it going off when something didn't fall in the pool. However I did freak out my pool guy when he was cleaning. I should have warned him and/or turned it off! All in all a great product at a reasonable price. Not that you can put a price on peace of mind.

UPDATED REVIEW I purchased this product about a year ago when we had finished building our pool and my greatest concern has always been my 2 year old daughter who loves the water. As much as I provide swimming lessons, she is still just a baby and I highly doubt her ability to save herself in a serious situation. I NEED this alarm for my sanity. Does this give false alarms? Yes. Does the app suck? Yes. Does this have the potential to save my daughter’s life? YES. It definitely works. The pros outweigh the cons for me, which is why I can abide the alarm going off at 3 am because of rain and terrorizing my neighbors. I would normally give this 5 stars but it completely stopped working on me. I changed the batteries on both the pool and home unit but they do not connect anymore. No matter what I do. It beeps and then turns off after 5 seconds. I also get an alert saying that there’s WiFi interference but this product doesn’t work with WIFI so I am thrown off by that. I am hoping customer service will help with this issue but until then I will be giving 1 star.

Just remember to take it out or turn it off in high winds and storms.

We have a pool right next to our house which is impossible to fence the device warns us if the surface of the water in the pool is disturbed.

First of all it was very easy to set up and is easy to operate through the app. The indoor unit needs to be placed as close as possible to the pool unit to ensure a good connection, however consider that you will need to access the indoor unit frequently. I placed the indoor unit high up and close to the ceiling as I didn't want the kids messing with it. As I am tall this is fine for me, but my partner cannot reach it now without standing on a chair, which is an issue due to the frequent nuisance alarms. I am reluctant to lower the unit as it looks better high up but may have to do to the number of nuisance alarms. The system works as intended as we find the alarm goes off if we go swimming and forget to turn it off. However, the pool unit is extremely sensitive even on the least sensitive setting, light wind and ripples will trigger the alarm. Due to the high number of nuisance alarms, sometimes in the middle of the night, we have to turn the unit off whenever the weather is less than perfect which kind of defeats the purpose of the system. It is therefore a battle between ensuring the system is on and operating and also not dealing with nuisance alarms. In summary, does it work well? YES, is it a perfect solution? NO. I wouldn't rely on it as a standalone safety device but in addition to a certified fence it serves a purpose. Just know that it isn't a set and forget device and will need frequent attention.

Ne fonctionne pas. L’app ne trouve pas l’unité intérieure même a 1cm ! Et reste bloquée sur le message d’erreur, impossible d’aller dans le menu. Passez votre chemin et ne faites pas la même erreur que moi. J’ai suivi les instructions et donc collé le support du produit sur ma piscine en liner, maintenant je ne peux plus l’enlever donc plus renvoyer cet article qui est arrivé incapable de fonctionner. On pourrait imaginer qu’avant de payer le sublime design de l’alarme et du packaging Lifebuoy aurait investi dans un contrôle des produits et qu’ils n’enverraient que des alarmes qui fonctionnent. Eh bien ce n’est pas le choix qu’ils ont fait. Je suis dégoûtée.

Bought this for the summer - it works but you need more than one to feel safer around our pool (10m by 5) - it can be slow to alert
