Description
Feel free to use the pool without disabling the alarms. Just turn on the Swim Mode, and when you’re out of the pool, the device will switch the alarms back on in several minutes The safety system is compatible with both in-ground and above-ground pools, garden ponds, fountains, spas, hot tubs: any open reservoirs that can be potentially dangerous are covered The safety system’s pool unit is waterproof and tough: it resists direct sunlight, UV radiation, and chlorine in water. It withstands even harsh conditions and lasts for years The enhanced sensitivity, consistent alertness, and quick responses are all due to the updated processor inside the pool safety system: it keeps your pool safe nonstop, 24/7 Take the swimming pool safety system with you on a trip to drown-proof any pool, wherever you go. For pools larger than 20 x 40 feet, it is recommended to use more than one pool unit How can I troubleshoot initial Wifi connection? 1. Ensure the BCone app is updated to latest version and charge unit for 5 minutes 2. Make sure no special characters in wifi name or password 3. Turn off the home unit by pressing the PWR button for 3 seconds 4. Restart router 5. Turn home unit on How do I test that the alarm is correctly triggered? Turn on the alarm and wait 20 seconds. Use a 4 gallon jug of water or 3-one gallon jugs tied together. Push it from the pool deck at the farthest location from the alarm. The alarm will sound a couple of seconds after the water action arrives to it. What if the test doesn't trigger an alarm? Make sure to locate the pool unit at the center of the pool. Raise the sensitivity level (e.g from 3 to 4). If the pool is larger than 20’X40’, it is recommended to add an additional pool unit. How can I avoid false alarms? Attach pool unit with the provided attachment kit to pool side. Pool unit location should be far from pump outlets and skimmers Remove any floatings from the pool. Reduce Pool Unit sensitivity from App. Use DND to avoid false alarms during the night. When should I replace the batteries? All batteries are included. Home Unit battery: Rechargable, no need to replace. Pool Unit battery: lasts up to 18 months and replaced easly with 2 standard AA Alklaine Batteries. For best performance, we recommend using Lifebuoy AA Batteries. Visit the Store Visit the Store Visit the Store

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.

FINAL UPDATE: Promptly received new unit. I did have trouble getting the APP to work correctly however it turned out the problem was my IOS phone font was set too large. After adjusting it smaller everything on APP worked as it should. CUSTOMER SERVICE CALLED ME FROM ISRAEL AND STAYED ON THE PHONE WITH ME UNTIL IT WAS ALL CONNECTED AND WORKING PROPERLY. Pool alarm is working splendidly. After all the issues and frustrations getting it setup with the technology the alarm itself is great and I will purchase again if needed. UPDATE: After contacting customer service again they have offered to send me an entirely new home and pool unit. It should be here on Saturday. Will update review afterwards. I had used the previous version of this product and it worked great. It died after a few years so upgraded to the $400 model. Sounded great with the APP improvements. You have to email someone in Israel, wait for a reply, then email again when their suggestions don't work. NEVER COULD GET THE POOL UNIT TO CONNECT TO HOME UNIT even though I went through all of the steps. I AM SICK I MISSED THE RETURN DEADLINE. Now I have to spend more money on another product --- Grrrrrr..... I am furious about this purchase.

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

Bought this to use in a friend's unfenced pool when we visited for a few days, with a non-swimming 5-year old. Install and setup was quite smooth, including the iOS app. Devices arrived with good battery levels, and setup instrcution were clear. Two tips: * Use 3M Command Outdoor strips ($4) for a temporary install at the edge of the pool. * Must use the included USB-A-to-USB-C cable to power the indoor unit. Just using a regular USB-C cable won't work. The alarm worked very reliably within it's advertised functions. It was easy to disable for swim mode (hold the unit vertically for a few seconds). The in-pool alarm fired whenever anyone got in the pool without first disabling it (this probably happened 5-10 times, including testing), and it never fired a false alarm even when the wind over the pool picked up to >10mph. The indoor unit also sounded its siren reliably. The notifications on iPhone and Apple Watch were a nice plus (telling you when an alarm sounded, and also when the device was placed into swim mode or armed/disarmed), and worked perfectly, but I would not rely on these for safety-critical function, since they necessarily rely on your device being charged, the indoor unit being connected, wifi connection being enabled, etc. Limitations: the indoor unit has to be within ~50 ft of the outdoor unit to maintain contact and act as a WiFi bridge. If you have a large house, with multiple floors and closed doors, consider that you may need to place the indoor unit somewhere where it might not be heard over music, etc. Fundamentally, even a well-designed a pool alarm is no substitute for an unclimbable physical barrier. One concerning occurrence was that a couple times in the morning the indoor unit would report that it had lost contact with the pool alarm (the pool alarm itself was still armed and working well). However despite that warning, the connection seemed fine; I could still control the outdoor unit, etc. So I think it might just be a bug, hopefully fixed in firmware.

I bought this because I did not want to have alarms on my doors or a cage around my pool. If you know what you’re doing and read the instructions, these things work The reason I’m giving this four stars is because I have let other people stay at my house and have lent them out to other people and none of them seem to have any idea how to operate them. They eventually end up turning them upside down and leaving them out of the pool. They work quite well, but you better have your head on straight when you’re putting them on Line. I think if what you’re trying to do is keep little kids from drowning you should take the time to learn how to use these things. Because I know they work

Bought a house this summer with a pool. I have twin granddaughter and grandson that don't swim yet. Wanted a safe backyard the kids could play in. This pool alarm had great reviews and was always in the top 5 of everyones list. My son and I set it up and tested to verify all was good. Simple and so easy to set up. The kids came out with their swimmies and got in the pool by the steps. They are 3 yrs old so they are small. No splashing at all just kicking their little feet under water. The alarm was about 5-6 yards away. The alarm sounded within 1 minute tops. Should have timed it. It provided such comfort to me and their parents. I highly recommend.

Man this device is really promising. Unfortunately it feels very beta right now- as most of my issues are with the app and the ability to properly silence alarms and notifications. This is unfortunate since it's priced with a "peace of mind" premium for a very unpolished product. I have been testing for about a week now to find the right sensitivity settings. When the alarm sounds, swiping from the app rarely works. I usually have to swipe 6 or 7 times as it keeps popping up. Normally, this never mutes the alarm. When it does, it usually only mutes inside while the buoy alarm continues to sound and annoy my neighbors. To silence the buoy, I have to open the app which is usually stuck spinning for several minutes, and when it finally stops, click the "off" button. Sometimes it never stops spinning and I must force close the app, clear the cache, re-open, and turn it off. Meanwhile the alarm is sounding outside the entire time. Also, when turning it off from the app, I will get a notification usually 10 minutes later to let me know it has been changed to "off" or "swim". For my wife and I- this means there's a considerable delay if one of us turns off the app or if it turns itself off for some reason before we are notified. While this is annoying, my other issue is the most concerning- and that is the sensitivity settings. They seem very inconsistent. A product like this requires significant trust and repeatable results to earn that trust. In my testing with several kids over several days, we've had them "fall" in with minimal splashing, flailing, and just normal swimming. What does and doesn't trigger the alarm seems very odd and inconsistent. Sometimes it will go off and sometimes it won't. Yesterday my daughter was playing 5 feet from it and it wouldn't trigger, while this morning I grabbed a water sample on the other side of the pool and it went off. I think this device has a lot of potential. Unfortunately in it's current state, muting the alarm is moderately annoying, and trusting the alarm to go off consistently is impossible. You're basically dropping $500 and hoping it works that one time you need it to- but knowing it probably won't. The most frustrating part of all of this is the Bcone has a higher price tag than the lifebuoy- all because of the wifi connectivity - which is actually currently useless in this device because you have to work so hard to silence it remotely. I'll hold on to mine until the end of the return period and if any changes are made to show they're listening, I'll keep it and update my review. If not, I'll return it until they're resolved. Given it's been available for over a year and a half and still has basic issues with notifications, I'm not holding my breath.

Love this device for the piece of mind that it gives us. I have 2 autistic kiddos who love the pool. We have a fence around the pool but this alarm gives it just that extra bit of security. Works great.
