[quote=Anonymous]Pool owner here. Alarms may not help much because someone needs to hear them and react _quickly_. As an example, when our DD was 3, DW turned her back for a moment to get their floaties and DD had already started waltzing in, not realizing she needs to have those on. What we have is an automatic, locking pool cover that always stays locked unless we are actively in the pool. (As for the story above, we learned our lesson and new rule is no opening the cover until floaties are on.) https://lathampool.com/products/automatic-safety-covers/ There's a key needed to open the box with the switch on it, and we keep that inside the house, out of child's reach. Installing into an existing pool can be pricey as they need to install the track just below the edge of the pool. I'd guess it's $5-10k, and closer to $10k.[/quote]
