TEST BEFORE USING

To ensure effectiveness, test “Safety Buoy” every time you 

place it into the pool by performing the following procedure:

  • 

“SAFETY BUOY” DOES NOT HAVE AN ON/OFF 

  SWITCH

 When the alarm is in the pool it is always in 

    the  ON position and cannot be turned off. The on/off 

    indicator Green LED will flash approximately every 

    10 seconds to let you know your alarm is on and 

    operational.

  •  To test your alarm, push an object of appropriate 

    volume and weight off the top edge/rail at the farthest 

    location from  the alarm.  (A four (4) gallon jug of water 

    or 3-one (1) gallon jugs of water tied together are ideal 

    for testing.) The alarm should sound when the water  

    action caused by the intrusion reaches the unit.  It may 

    take a few seconds for the alarm to react to the water 

    action.

  •  Reset the alarm and allowing time for the water action 

    to settle.  Repeat the procedure from another point in 

    the pool until you are confident of detection 

    performance.  Because the “Safety Buoy” may detect 

    an intrusion more than once, you may want to remove 

    the alarm from the pool and put it  in sleep mode while 

    the pool settles.

  •  “SAFETY BUOY” includes a timer function which 

    automatically resets the unit after the alarm has 

    sounded for approximately 5 minutes. 

ADJUSTING YOUR RETURN LINE FITTING

The “SAFETY BUOY” alarm should not be placed too close 

to a return line, also do not place “SAFETY BUOY” in a 

location in the pool where a return line is pointing in the 

alarms direction.  Water turbulence may be too strong, 

falsely setting the alarm off or the water turbulence may 

interfere with the alarms ability to detect and intrusion.  If 

you have more than 2 return lines please call customer 

service at 1-800-242-7163.  It is very important in pools to 

adjust the eyeball fittings on your return lines so that the 

water flow will not interfere with your pool alarm.  

Point all 

the eyeball fitting down and your pool will still circulate 

properly and this will allow “Safety Buoy” to function 

properly, (See Figure 4). Pointing the eyeball fittings down 

also helps prevent algae growth.
