Unless your pool deck surface is really uneven, I wouldn't bother adding a hole, the little metal brace unscrews easily. It can be hard to sit the alarm into the pool or remove it without it going off and as other reviewers have noted, the instructions aren't clear."
"Great pool alarm."
"Lightening struck pool and it alarmed but is still working."
"After swimming, the water usually takes about 20 minutes to be calm enough to set the alarm back in."
"Works well but each one only seems to last a few years."
"I couldn't get the false alarms to stop."
"The pool guard does a good job."
"Bought this with high hopes of adding an extra layer of protection but it's too sensitive."
An alarm will sound both in your pool and in your house up to a distance of approximately 200 feet. The FCC-approved remote receiver has an on/off switch with an "on" indicator light and is powered by a 120 volt A.C. wall transformer. The sensing ring is adjustable so that it can be controlled to activate only when an object the size of a child or pet falls into your pool. The alarm in the pool is battery powered and uses one 9-volt alkaline battery (battery not included).

"Plastic sign for the pool area, gets the word out."
"Purchased for my pool deck to remind some guests of basic rules but it doesn't say "no peeing" so I'll still need to get another sign."
