PLACEMENT IN YOUR POOL
Figure 2 illustrates locations best suited for detecting intrusions
from any area of the pool. If your pool is larger than 800 square
feet, if you have more than 2 return lines, any concerns about the size, or if you have an irregular
shaped pool, please call customer service to clarify the recommended number of alarms and loca-
tions for alarms: 1-800-242-7163. Poolguard pool alarms have been tested and certified by ETL, to
the ASTM Standard Specifications for Pool Alarms (F2208), in a 16' X 32' pool. POOLGUARD alarms
can be used in pools up to 20'x40' or 800 square feet.
POOLGUARD automatically compensates for variations in pool levels within the unit's operating
range. The unit utilizes a sensing throat which projects into the water and is designed to operate in
most pools with an in-wall skimmer. The sensing throat cannot be less than 2 inches, (See Figure 3),
and not more than 7 inches into the water, POOLGUARD recommends that the sensing throat be
approximately 4" in the water POOLGUARD can be used with SOLAR BLANKETS on the pool.
POOLGUARD can also be used in spas.
