We are distributors in France for Aqualarm, conforming to AFNOR standards |
This swimming pool alarm is manufactured by Phillips. It consists of an immersed probe which reacts to the differences of pressure in the swimming pool water. This data is then transmitted to the microprocessor which analyzes the signal and eliminates the data such as weather disturbances,cleaning robot,filtration systems. To swim or arm the alarm, a 4 figure number is pressed in by use of the keypad - no armbands or keys required. The Aqualarm is Compliant with the French standard NF P 90-307. It is efficient and easy to install and to use. Aqualarm Working range The Standard NF P 90-307 relating to swimming pool alarms states that any fall into the swimming pool is detected within a maximum of 12 seconds. The pool alarm system cannot be located more than 7 meters from a possible falling point. This means the Aqualarm is suitable for a swimming pool radius of up to 7 metres, i.e. Up to a 10 x 5 m pool. To conform to the standard, if your pool is larger than this, 2 or more alarms will be required depending on swimming pool size, in order to meet the standards in France. If is possible to have a radio connection so that if you do have more than one pool alarm, they can communicate. This means that when the user wishes to swim, he just has to type the code on one device only.

It is imperative that the alarm can be heard by a responsible adult and to be responded to in less than 3 minutes. This alarm has been one of the most popular alarms this year. Minimal false alarms have been recorded, it is easy to install and simple to use. Please note: A pool alarm is not suitable for every pool in France. An alarm does not prevent drowning and is only as effective as the responder. For those with second homes here, this is obviously not the best security option. If you use an alarm but there is no-one to respond, you would still be held responsible and liable to the 45,000€ fine for non-compliance with the French standards for pool security. i.e. If you go out and leave the alarm on but unattended, or if you turn the alarm off when not using the pool. If this applies to you, please see the other security options or contact us for advice. For enquires regarding suitability of an Aqualarm for your swimming pool in France, contact us |
