10 Best Pool Alarms In 2023

The standout feature of the Pool Patrol PA-30 is its adjustable sensitivity. By allowing you to tune the sensor, you can choose how the device reacts to smaller and larger objects. Additionally, this is a floating pool alarm, meaning that you can place it at the center for much better coverage.

We particularly like that it’s a two-part system (sensor and receiver) and, once triggered, an alarm sounds on both. The PA-30 pool safety alarm is very user-friendly. The sensor floats freely in the pool, while the remote receiver only requires an outlet to plug it in.

An interesting detail about the PoolGuard DAPT-2 pool alarm system is that it comes with a delayed activation function. This means that even if a child goes through the door and quickly closes it, the alarm will activate after 7 seconds. On the other hand, it has an ’adult pass-through’ function that prevents the alarm from sounding when adults open the door.

The alarm consists of the main unit (receiver) and a two-part magnetic sensor that you mount on the door. The range is pretty good, so the main unit can be inside the house even though the receiver is placed on the pool gate.

The EverNary pool alarm system is a great security bundle for a very reasonable price. Besides the two magnetic door alarms, you also get a convenient remote control for activating and deactivating the pool alarm. It’s one of the best swimming pool alarms if you want versatility and increased functionality.

When compared to others, EverNary is the loudest alarm featured on our list. With a high-pitch 130dB sound, it guarantees both you and your neighbors hear it immediately. The pool door alarm doesn’t have any buttons on the casing, and both activating and adjusting is done using the remote control.

The Safety Turtle is one of the most unique pool alarms that you’ll come across. By construction, this is an immersion alarm that your child wears around their wrist. The cute turtle design is very popular among kids, so you won’t have trouble getting them to wear it. 

When the wristband is submerged, it sends a signal to the main unit. Unlike most other systems, the Safety Turtle doesn’t require any installation. We really like that the band comes with a safety buckle, meaning that a kid won’t be able to take it off on their own.

If you wish to be notified even when you’re not home, the iSmartAlarm is the device for you. If you have the iSmart app installed on your phone, the unit will immediately send a notification alerting you about the breach in the pool area, which is pretty great.

The iSmart a magnetic alarm that sends a signal to the central unit when the pool gate is opened. The big advantage of these sensors is that they don’t have to be permanently installed. However, for them to work properly, you need to pair them with a CubeOne hub which is sold separately.

Whether you have an in-ground or an above ground pool, the Blue Wave Poolwatch is one of the most reliable systems that you can get. It’s NSF-certified and meets the ASTM F2208 requirements for pool alarms, meaning that it will pass any safety inspection that you might have.

The Blue Wave NA4212 is a 2-piece unit and each of the pieces needs to be mounted. Because of the slightly lower sensitivity, these pool alarms for inground pools won’t react on false alarms (leaves, rain, pool toys) but will always notify you if your child jumps into the pool.
