Review: FINALLY - new state of the art tech for a safe pool - 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.
Review: Love this alarm! - I absolutely love this alarm. We have a 33' x 18' inground pool and I was concerned that one buoy would not be enough but it is perfect. We have a puppy that fell into the pool and lucky enough I was there to help her out before we had a tragic event. With also having a 2yr old granddaughter and it was time to start looking for a pool alarm. I read comments and looked at several different types of alarms. In reading the review on this model, most of the comments were from desertcart vine users. I was a little worried but since the alarm had free returns, I took my chances and I am so very glad I did. We placed it half way down the long length of the pool. I put 5 gallons of water in an empty sprayer and dropped it down a few feet in each corner of the pool and the alarm went off within 5 seconds or less. This is with the sensitivity level set on 3 on the app. The alarm sounded at the pool buoy and inside the home and was quite loud. One thing I did not read in the instructions is that when the alarm sounds off, after about 15 seconds, it will go into swim mode. Then eventually it will switch back to alarm mode. I like this feature. When I first installed it in our pool and began downloading the APP, I had some difficulty, so I emailed the company Customer Service. Within an hour they responded back with the answer I needed. Grateful for the great customer service and quick response. The flow for our below ground pool is close to the top of our pool and we did have to adjust the flow a little below the top water level to prevent the alarm from going off every morning when the pool pump turns on. Some time it still goes off and although I could change the sensitivity level on the App to a different level, I don't mind hearing it every now and then just to hear the alarm still works. We also have a chlorinator that floats on the top of our pool and every now and then when it hits the alarm it may also make it sound the alarm. I love this alarm and it has given my husband and I the PEACE OF MIND knowing that our family can be safe. It may cost a little more that some of the others, but my husband and I would highly recommend this alarm. You get what you pay for and the peace of mind that we now have was well worth the price.

### ⭐ Frequently unresponsive buttons
*by D***N on December 8, 2025*

It took several hours for the app and alarm to finally recognize my WiFi even though my WiFi is good and the router is close to both. It made a ridiculously annoying frequent beep to alert me that the WiFi wasn’t connected which drove my dog insane. I later discovered that you can turn off the WiFi connection and just use the pool unit without the app, but for some reason you have to press and hold the WiFi several times before it responds. If the alarm goes off (and I have been getting more and more false alarms despite it being barely breezy), you have to sprint up to pick it up and turn it sideways to turn it into swim mode AND you have to sprint to turn off the indoor pool unit. You have to sprint because it will drive your neighbors insane. And you can’t just do one or the other, because both the indoor pool unit and the actual pool floatie will alarm separately. Neither of these actions work consistently so my husband often keeps turning the pool unit on its side while I keep pressing the off button again and again while my toddler is losing her mind from the noise and my neighbors are driven insane. I don’t know why you inexplicably have to press the off button on the pool unit several times before it responds. If you want to turn off the alarm for a pool cleaning, you are told you can put it in “swim mode” but you have to press and hold swim mode several times before it responds. And then it automatically goes back to the alarm mode after a few minutes which is supposed to be a nice feature in case you forget it in swim mode, but it mean the pool alarm suddenly goes off if you take a break from cleaning for a few minutes. So the best way I’ve figured out how to deal with this is turn off the indoor pool unit (by pressing the off button a million times over a minute). Then you’d think you can just take the pool alarm out of water? Nope because it will still alarm nonstop. So you turn that into swim mode by flipping it 90 degrees, cross your fingers that that eventually works, and then taking the alarm out of the pool. I had previously given this a good review because I hadn’t started getting all the false alarms, and hadn’t yet tried turning it off during pool alarms. I also was not bothered by the issue I had with the WiFi connection because I thought it would be a one-time problem. But every time I turn off the pool alarm and then turn it back on later, it insists on trying to re-connect to WiFi, and beeps annoyingly while I try pressing the WiFi button a million times to stop the re-connection. Extremely frustrated because these sounds have driven my elderly dog and my toddler insane, and I’m sure my neighbors hate me
