First one with an app wow.
4 Stars
First one with an app wow.
Its not a bad system and most definitely kudos for having an app.I went thru a few pool alarms and most of them underperformed or installation was terrible.This one is not bad. What i like anout the app is that it tells you how good of a signal is between the sensor and the receiver so u can find optimum spot for it. Unfortunately my pool is about 25ft away from the house so the only good line of sight was for me to prop it against the window (see pics). I used 3m adhesives and a zip tie for it.The app and reciver uses bluetooth but i wish all the components would use WiFi instead this way it could be connect a lot further and the app can stay connected while im walking around the house.Maybe next gen will have that?Amd also maybe make the receiver weather resistant so it could be placed outside?
Thank you for your feedback

5.0 out of 5 stars Does it's job well
Reviewed in the United States on October 9, 2019
I wanted to wait to write my review after I've used this product for at least 2 weeks just because I've read a lot of negative reviews about it not working after a few days. Maybe it is being installed incorrectly but I haven't had any issues with this product. The directions were very straight forward and I even received a tutorial video that did a step by step set up which was very beneficial.

The product itself is very compact which is great of you have a smaller pool like me so it doesn't take up much room. The flotation buoy is great at it's job. Doesn't slant or halfway sink.

The alarm is extremely loud. I know they are supposed to be but I wasn't expecting it to sound like a fire alarm went off. Just to give you kind of a grasp our pool is outside in our backyard and when we were doing our test, the neighbor 7 houses down came up almost instantly to see what was going on. That is exactly the type of response I'd hoped for. Not only was I alerted but neighbors were as well. The purpose of the lifebouy is to keep my children/dog safe and I trust it completely.

1.0 out of 5 stars Had high hopes....Very disappointing. Why can't they get this right???
Reviewed in the United States on July 29, 2019
The past few weeks have been great! We had such peace of mind knowing we had this as a 2nd layer of protection. It worked great, passed every test with flying colors and we loved that it would re-set itself after we swam.

But then, sadly, the reviews proved true: Now we're getting random false alarms throughout the day and night when the pool is perfectly still (see photo) not a ripple, not a breeze. Which thank God, brought to my attention that it was malfunctioning in other ways too. Aside from the false alarms, it wasn't protecting our pool when we thought it was. I tried turning it off and on, changing the sensitivity, checked the batteries, nothing has worked. It goes from being "ON" to "STANDBY" automatically offering us ZERO protection without us knowing. When it did manage to stay "ON" it failed every test run. We would have to be on top of it splashing for the alarm to sound. SO SCARY and DISAPPOINTING.

LIFE BUOY - If your going to make a product to help prevent drowning, PLEASE make a product that is reliable and that WORKS!!! There are lives at stake here. If GOD FORBID, a child or pet drowns with one of these in the pool, where the family thought it was working and trusted this....?????????? Isn't there a product out there that actually works? It's hard to comprehend why with today's technology and resources, no one can get this right. The app is a whole other story. Crap. You have to be standing next to the unit for it to work.

Lifebuoy Pool Alarm System - Great concept, bad execution. NOT RELIABLE. SO disappointing.
