Pool Alarm Saves 9th Child from Drowning
Another Drowning Prevention Shows RJE Technologies on Course With Mission to Make Pools Safer
IRVINE, Calif.
BUSINESS WIRE
Swimming Pool Alarm Systems manufacturer, RJE Technologies, announced today the 9th child has been saved from drowning by its SonarGuard pool alarm system. A Houston dad reported SonarGuard saved his 3-year-old daughter when she slipped into the pool while playing in the backyard. The parents were surprised that they never heard a splash or sound when she slipped in. The signature SonarGuard “ping” was all they heard.
Approximately 300 children under the age of five, drown each year in the U.S., according to CPSC. In most cases, an adult was supervising the child, and was distracted or didn’t see (or hear) the child fall in the water. SonarGuard utilizes sonar technology and can detect a child immediately.
ASTM certified pool alarms have gained popularity with owners of public and private swimming pools. Additionally, state and city governments have addressed improved pool safety by passing legislation involving the installation of an ASTM pool alarm as well as other new requirements.

- Improper grading and drainage around the house, leading to actual or potential water penetration and foundation problems.
- Insufficient electrical service to the house, inadequate overload protection and amateur, often dangerous, wiring connections.
