Battery powered with approximately one year of life, it includes automatic wake-up and system self-test functions. Ideal for pools up to 800 sq ft, it offers reliable, continuous protection backed by a 3-year warranty. ## Description The poolguard pool alarm, once installed in the pool, cannot be de-activated; it is always in the alarm ready mode. tamper proof: poolguard pool alarm will sound an alarm when removed from the pool. sleep mode: when you would like to use your pool, simply remove the alarm from the pool and put it into sleep mode. automatic wake-up: the poolguard pool alarm will automatically wake up and run a system test when installed into the pool. the poolguard pool alarm comes with an in-house remote receiver that has a range up to 200 ft. and comes with a 12 volt power supply. the poolguard poolside alarm works on a 9-volt battery (not included); with a battery life of approximately one year. audible low battery indicator at the poolside alarm is also indicated by the in house remote receiver. new sensing technology provides less chance of false alarms due to wind, rain or small objects such as sticks or toys entering the water. poolguard pool alarms have been tested and comply to the astm standar. Poolguard alarm should not be placed too close a return line Review: Works perfectly! - I purchased this pool alarm because my grandson will be coming to visit soon and, even though we will be extra careful to make sure he doesn't have access to the pool area, I am not willing to take any chances with safety. I installed it and tested by dropping a couple gallon jugs into the pool as directed and it operated the alarm. Shortly after the installation we had some torrential downpours with wind and there were no false alarms. We left it in the pool overnight for over a week and still no false alarms. I'm completely satisfied and would recommend it to a friend; it works as advertised. UPDATE 4 July: Having used this product for over month now I stand by my review. Other reviewers are critical of the disarming method, poor instructions, setting off the alarm on installing or removal of the device, having to drill a hole in the deck, and the small key that can be lost. I found the instructions to be clear. It must be installed and removed very slowly; it's sensitive for a reason, and I'm glad for that. One reviewer recommended a finger over the siren which I have done and it works great while removing in case you accidentally set it off. The indoor alarm is also loud for a reason. Like my house security system it's designed to attract attention. It's very simple to unplug it before removing the pool unit to prevent disturbing anyone in the house if you're having trouble with accidentally setting it off. The hole in the concrete is very small. Gosh, I have holes in the concrete for the ladder too, and they are much larger. The key is a magnet about the size of your thumb, designed that way I'm sure to avoid an exposed mechanical switch that would be more vulnerable to the elements. My first thoughts too were that it would be easily misplaced, so all I did was loop a couple plastic ties through the handle and the key. It's secured to the unit. Doesn't look great, but I don't care. I have no doubt one could find something better looking like a small stainless chain to attach it if appearance is an issue. I can't speak to the effects of an automatic pool cleaner as mine hasn't arrived yet. I agree with the reviewer about having your kids know how to swim, and there is NOTHING to replace adult supervision. I can see how it would be difficult if you have people in and out of the pool frequently, but this device provides just a little more safety to help fill the gap for human error. We have nothing more precious than our kids and no price or inconvenience is too much to help protect their safety. Review: MUST HAVE FOR BACKYARD POOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!! - If you have a pool; you must purchase this item. Pros: peace of mind, loud alarm, works exactly as it should, price was competitive with similar items, easy to use but not easy enough for a child who is not of swimming age to figure out, does not require being screwed into concrete, is not an eye sore, alarm sounds inside and outside your home Cons: none! I did a lot of research and am so happy we ended up with this product. I have 2 children aged 2 and 1 and although pool alarms are not required where I live; it was a must for my household. We watch our kids like a hawk and also have a gate around the pool and sliding door locks (another must have), this item is that extra piece of security you need-especially if you live in a neighborhood with other children. Some reviewers reported false alarms and I was concerned about this. No one with toddlers wants a false alarm in the middle of the night. I am thrilled to say that we have had pounding rain and even small critters (mouse/frog) with no false alarms. I questioned if it was working at all but every time we test it, it works as it should. As with any alarm, I would recommend testing this from time to time. If you are hesitating with this purchase, please don't. Every pool should have one and I hope that you have the same experience I did. ## Features - NSF Certified to ASTM Standard F2208 - Made in the USA - In House Remote Receiver.

But. You need at least 5 inches clearance between the deck and the bottom of the cover.... Not likely. But, it can be picked up easily when you decide to deploy the cover. If the cover is on... I assume you do not need the guard **Q: Will this work with a Zodiac pool cleaner thats in motion 8 hours a day?** A: I'm not familiar with the zodiac but I have a navigator pool cleaner that runs 9 hours and it has NOT triggered this alarm. This was one of my concerns that I researched in pool alarms. Hope that helps! **Q: What are the dimensions? What's the length of the arm that goes in the water, as measured from where the pool deck would be to the bottom of the arm?** A: 9.5" x 11"From the deck, the arm goes 11" down. Adjust your water level to ensure that at least 2.5" of the arm are in the pool. **Q: I have a small Yorkie about 8 lbs. If she slips in the water, not creating a big splash would the unit go off?** A: I don't know if it will detect her going in I suspect no, but- it might once she starts splashing and moving in the water- When we put ours in it did not detect the waves created by a gallon jug of water from across the alarm dropped in about a foot above water level (so about 8-9 pounds) (but it did when we did 2 at same time) . The manual also notes that gradual water entry might not be detected. It would also be affected by size of pool and number of alarms.

Contacted customer service for manufacturer and they had me send unit back to repair. Received 'repaired' unit, only to have it not work at all. By then, it was the end of the summer. So I got a brand new unit for this summer. Received, and again it does not work. It buzzes constantly but alarm does not sound when something goes in the pool. For something as important as a pool alarm, it needs to be reliable, trustworthy, and effective. This product is none of those things. ## Frequently Bought Together - Poolguard PGRM-2 In-Ground Pool Alarm, White - TECHKO Strobe Safe Pool Alarm for Kids, Pets, ETL Listed UL 2017 Compliant, Indoor/Outdor Weather Resistant, LED Strobe Lights & 115 dB Alarm System with Bypass Buttons, Easy Install, White, S287 --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.sk/products/8822093-pgrm-2-in-ground-pool-alarm-white](https://www.desertcart.sk/products/8822093-pgrm-2-in-ground-pool-alarm-white) --- *Product available on Desertcart Slovakia* *Store origin: SK* *Last updated: 2026-05-06*
