POOL SAFETY POOLVIEW’S ABOVE AND BELOW-WATER PROTECTION
SENTAG SAFER SWIMMING SYSTEM FROM POOLVIEW
The Poolview Safer Swimming System is an above-water and belowwater camera system which relays the digitally recorded images to lifeguard monitoring stations in any combination depending on your risk assessment requirements. The display gives lifeguards an uncompromised view of below-water swimmer activity and behaviour. Lifeguards view these images as part of their 10:20 scan to help with early identification of an incident developing or abnormal events occurring. Full below-water coverage can be achieved in every pool. Poolview can ‘see’ below surface glare and reflections, disturbed moving water, play structures and movable booms and provides ‘Additional Essential Vision’ to lifeguards. Poolview will increase a lifeguard’s capability; help reduce risk and can reduce staff overheads and increase flexibility for lifeguard levels and rotation.
The SenTAG wristband monitors time and pressure for each user. Wristbands are set to a depth and time at which the alarm is raised. If the swimmer should spend too much time under the pre-set depth, an alarm is raised by a signal from the wristband to the SenTAG control unit, which then alerts the lifeguard or first responder. In this way the SenTAG wristband emulates the supervision of a lifeguard. The Central Control Unit manages the overall system with a very easy user interface. At the control unit all settings are made, data is collected, stored and analysed. It constantly listens to all information from the pool and makes decisions on when an alarm should be raised.

POOLGUARD PGRM2 FROM SAFEWATER ALARMS
PROTECT THE CHILD – SAFETY TURTLE FROM SAFEWATER ALARMS
The Poolguard PGRM2 is an electronic monitoring system that will automatically sound an alarm when a child or family pet falls into an unsupervised pool. The Poolguard sits on the side of the pool and is removed only to allow the pool to be used but once set to alert mode any entry into the pool will be detected by the alarms electronic sensors and trigger a loud pulsating alarm at the device as well as a remote sounder within your home. The Poolguard protects the pool but there is a small amount of installation required so there are limitations on where it can be used however it does have a sister in the form of the PGRM-SB that is completely portable.
This is a wrist worn strap with a Turtle shaped wireless sender built in to it, which on contact with water will send a signal to a moon shaped alarm Base Station. This Base Station will, on receiving the signal from the Turtle wrist strap, go into alarm mode and warn you that there is a possible drowning incident occurring with your child. There is no limit to the amount of wristbands you can use on one Base Station as long as they are all the same colour. The Safety Turtle protects the child from the dangers of any form of water, whether a swimming pool, spa, boating lake or your villa holiday pool. There is no installation required which makes the Safety Turtle completely portable.
