This whole thread is a laff riot. Who ..... but a municipality would
ever even consider putting a floatation alarm on a public swimming
pool. Or, a pool alarm of any kind. It's going to false, it's not
going to be able to be maintained. Within a year the people who
actually know anything about the project will be transfered to another
location and then no one will know what to do about fixing it,
maintaining it, what to do when a problem occurs or even what to do
when the alarm trips. The local kids will bypass it or constantly set
it off until it becomes as useless as the bureauocrat who thought of
it.

This is just another "make work" project, thought up by some
uninformed bureauocrat who doesn't have anything else to do but think
up things that makes it look like they are doing something. The
project doesn't have to have good results. It doesn't have to be
practical. It doesn't even have to work. Just so long as it looks like
"something" ,..... "anything", is being done. It sounds like a "cover
your ass" project. Even though it'll never be useful, in the event
that some stupid parent doesn't mind their kid and he drowns, they can
say they tried.

They've got a bottomless pit of money from the taxpayers and if they
don't do something with it, then they're afraid they won't vote them
in again, next time.

If  you really wanted to protect the pool, put a double fence around
it and secure the "no man's land" between them with lighting, cameras,
photo beams and stress sensors on the  fence. Using any kind of
floatation or water entry alarm sensors is to little to late. By the
time anyone got there it would be too late to stop any vandalism or
drowning anyway and in between the false alarms would make it useless.
