TESTING THE ALARM
To test the alarm, you can make a simple device simulating the size and weight of a small child. See Figure
11 and Figure 12.
Material needed:
• 4 plastic water bottles – 1.5 litre size
• Duct tape
• 2 m of strong rope
Fill the four bottles with water.
Use the duct tape to fasten the bottles firmly together.
Attach the rope tightly to one of the bottles.
Drop the bottles into the pool from a height of 10 cm. The alarm should sound. Use the rope to pull the bottles
from the pool. To ensure maximum protection conduct this test once a week.
