This does exactly what it says. Buy it right now. Finally a pool product that brings pools to the 2023 era of must have products like the iphone/pixel or apple watch, etc. Package, design, app, implementation, customer service all tops.Beacon sits in the pool (attached however you'd like, we have it stuck via included 3M tape to waterline tile in the middle of the pool) and detects wave movement. If the 3 year old goes in the pool it senses it immediately (1+ seconds). The app helps you to determine best placement (not next to skimmer or infloor cleaning jets).Beacon connects wirelessly (bluetooth i think) to a receiver which looks like a modern thermostat. Beacon uses batteries which appear to last for months. Receiver is mounted on indoor wall. Must be within 100 feet of beacon. Ours is about 40 feet on a wall that has a window overlooking pool.Receiver has various functions but it is essentially a giant alarm (same siren as fire/carbon monoxide detector). When beacon senses movement in pool which means someone has walked/fallen in, the receiver sounds the alarm very loudly and also sends notification to your phone via the app. It is near instantaneous (probably 1+ second delay). The notification on your phone happens anywhere you are as long as you have cell service.The receiver has buttons which can control the beacon. Off, on or swim mode (doesn't sound the alarm but when waves stop turns itself back to the on position automatically). We don't use any buttons on the receiver because the app has all the functionality. The receiver plugs in or has a battery that recharges via an included cable.The app is super slick. On/Off/Swim mode. Helps you to set up device. Change sensitivity settings (some places are more windy, some pools with infloor systems have a "busier" surface water. Adjust for size of pool, etc. All modern. Firmware updates have been pushed through. Shows you if receiver has good signal. Can set "quiet times" where alarm will not be active. Shows history. Various other set up options.Customer service is via email and response time is <24 hours. Its possible you have questions, and it appears from my experience they will be answered in an acceptable timeframe and manner.I am impressed. I have a new(ish) pool and the contractor installed iaqualink from zodiac which is an all encompassing wireless pool control system (pumps, heat, infloor, lights, etc) that you control from anywhere. It is terrible. The app is super outdated, not slick, need to be a computer expert to reprogram even simple functions which negates its utility and therefore its mostly useless (and very expensive). Feels like it was designed 20 years ago. This is not what lifebuoy is. Lifebuoy app, beacon, receiver and controls are all what you might expect apple or google to have designed. Wish they made a product to replace iaqualink.

This floating pool alarm works as published and is very easy to install and get working. When using with the wireless application, it will notify you on your phone or other device, if the alarm goes off, and you can set or reset it to various settings, right from your phone. I passed my new pool inspection the very first time after the new pool enclosure was completed--after it was damaged by Hurricaine Milton. New Florida 2023 code requires an alarm in the pool area. The floating pool alarm is much easier to use than trying to place window and sliding-glass-door alarms around the pool area. This pool alarm is ASTM F2208 CERTIFIED! Plus, the CEO of this company really cares about customer satisfaction.

We have had this pool alarm for 3 YEARS now and I would buy it over and over again. We have two toddlers that are obsessed with the pool. It has alerted us everytime they stepped foot in the pool. Sometimes it will go off if a plane flies by or the system kicks on, but you can adjust the sensitivity. The alarm volume is very loud inside and outside, our neighbors hear if it goes off and if you are away from home, it goes off on your phone which is nice to know. You can control the entire system from your phone, the inside system or even the actual BCone so it makes it super convenient. Seriously AMAZING PRODUCT even after 3 years.

I would like to return this product. I constantly sets off false alarms; very difficult to turn off and/or reset; chirps for no reason; keeps dropping a strong wi-fi signal. When I purchased this item I was led to believe that I had two (2) months to return it. I would rate this product as a one-half star at most. In stronger words this item is junk!!!!!!

So far we really enjoy the alarm. It works well! There’s some glitches with shutting it off via phone app and also on the machine but all in all a great purchase for those with a pool.

Tonight proved how well this thing works. The sensor never sets off when the pumps are running. Tonight it went off at 11:00pm. I don’t see anything so I go out and finally see a drowned rat. It went off for a rat. That is impressive. Especially considering when the pool cycles and the waterfalls and skimmer run it never sets off. How it knew there was an animal is beyond me. But it sure is amazing. (I did try to save the rat, it was too late). A
