POOL SAFETY SYSTEMS


PROTECT A CHILD POOL FENCE Swimming pools, ponds and water features in the garden are generally regarded as areas for fun, fascination to give pleasure whilst relaxing. This of course is exactly what they should be otherwise why would we have them. The problem with water, however, is that it causes its own set of dangers. When it comes to keeping things out, there is no substitute for a physical barrier. Although covers are available they may present a temptation to young children to walk over the water and put themselves at serious risk. Parents and grandparents need the peace of mind to know that their children and pets are safe in the garden. With this in mind Protect a Child has developed a fencing system over the past 25 years to help homeowners keep their pool areas safe thereby minimising the possibility of accidents.


The system is simple and uses top quality materials. The posts are made of fibreglass with built in colour resin that will not fade. They are virtually unbreakable and will not distort so the fence will always look straight and attractive. The mesh used is a PVC- coated polyester material which cannot be torn having a border using marine rated vinyl and UV stable thread. All screws and latches are made of high quality stainless steel. The system comes with a lifetime guarantee. Flexibility is a major factor, it can be installed into slabs or paving around a pool, but can also be used across lawns or even through flower beds. The use of concrete pads or a small concrete filled trench will be required to achieve this but it can then be painted to blend in with the background. Once the fencing has been installed the fact that it is easily removable when not required is a further benefit which customers approve of. A typical pool fence (30ft x 15ft ) would take approximately 15 minutes to dismantle completely. Installation is usually carried out by Pool Fence UK after a site visit or receipt of pictures of the proposed location. Staff are trained to carry out a wide range of installation techniques to suit different applications. ‘Self installs’ can be achieved by customers with instructions sent out and technical support via phone or email.


When it comes to keeping things out, there is no substitute for a physical


barrier such as the Protect a Child Pool Fence


system (DEWS) for the prevention of drowning in swimming pools. The DEWS system is designed to detect a swimmer in the early stages of distress and pinpoint their location in the pool. Key points of the DEWS system: DEWS can simultaneously monitor all swimmers at all times, operating 24 hours a day. Using analytics and building a database it has the capability of learning to distinguish


When the fencing has been removed colour matching patio caps can be inserted to cover the small post holes.


POOLCAM FROM POOLVIEW Poolcam is a passive pool surveillance system designed to assist lifeguards with their supervisory responsibilities. The system itself works through relaying real time images from cameras installed above and below the waterline back to lifeguards on the poolside. The images from which can be incorporated into a lifeguard’s scanning procedure. Fundamentally, Poolcam provides ‘Additional Essential Vision’ to lifeguards – eradicating glare, reflection, restrictive features and turbulent water issues – our ‘eyes in the pool’ give your staff the additional tool required to function at a higher level of proficiency whilst providing operators with the opportunity to explore a more flexible and cost effective methods of managing their swimming pools. Poolcam can also provide reassurance and support to operators when incidents occur and can enhance the value of ongoing staff training through its playback function.


DEWS SYSTEM FROM AQUA TEIK New developments in safety technology designed and integrated with the building and operational procedures correctly, can contribute enormously to the overall water safety. One of the latest systems to the market is Aqua Teik’s detection early warning


Poolcam from Poolview is a passive pool surveillance system designed to assist lifeguards with their supervisory responsibilities


between drowning and playing, based on the usage of your pool minimising false alarms. Created and developed by video imaging and data specialists Zweec Analytics Pte Ltd, the system is similar to CCTV setup where the cameras feed into a central control unit which is linked to the user interface. Aqua Teik oversee the entire installation process, which can take place during non-operational hours to minimise disruption. This system is not to replace lifeguards as they play a key role. There are many hotels and gym swimming pools that currently operate without lifeguards. DEWS is a great solution to this problem, being able to feed live information anywhere using its pool monitoring system that can be viewed on a PC or tablet. So, with such a wide assortment of pool safety equipment available covering all budgets, there really shouldn’t be any excuse for the number of lives lost in and around pools and spas each year.
