FALSE ALARMS
All pool alarms will false alarm on occasion for different
reasons. False alarms can be minimized; however, it is
important to remember that a false alarm is better than no
alarm at all. WEATHER & WIND may trigger a false alarm if
it is strong enough or steady enough that it causes the water
in the pool to rock or bounce up and down the pool wall. On
extremely windy days when the pool water is rocking it is
advised to remove the alarm from the pool and place on it’s
storage stand. LIGHT WIND OR RAIN WILL NOT EFFECT
THE POOLGUARD ALARM. Another false alarm occurs when
the pool owner tries to install the alarm too soon after
swimming. After swimming, the water in the pool will rock
or bounce up and down the pool wall for some time
depending on the size of the pool and the type of swimming
activity. Before installing the alarm, after swimming, the pool
must be given time to calm. Time will vary (around 10 to 30
minutes); once the pool owner sees that the pool water is no
longer rocking up and down the pool wall, it is time to install
the alarm. Certain automatic cleaners may set the
POOLGUARD unit off in some cases. If the cleaner head
or the cleaner hose hits the POOLGUARD alarm it may cause
it to false alarm. Solutions to this problem are to use your
cleaner at night and your alarm during the day. Another option
would be to nd a place around the pool where the cleaner
does not interfere with the alarm. Certain water features such
as waterfalls can cause POOLGUARD to false alarm. To avoid
this problem do not install the POOLGUARD alarm too close
to the water feature. If you are having a problem with any type
of water feature call POOLGUARD at 1-800-242-7163.
