BCONE® System Pool Alarm by Lifebuoy® | Certified ASTM F2208 Floating Pool Alarm | Loud Pool Safety Alarms on Home & Pool Units | Connects to Alexa | Pool Alarms for Inground Pools and Above-Ground

Works as intended. Had a electrical problem with the unit due to the unit being unexpectly left upside down for a few days and having water intrusion. Reached out to the company, they responded quickly and we're very helpful. Ended up sending me a new unit at no additional cost on something that wasn't the fault of the company or the bcone

We love this! We've had it for 2 years now and it gives me so much peace of mind having 2 little (and adventurous!) kids, plus a dog. The app is easy to use, the customer service is amazing, and the tutorials on set up are easy to follow and it's quick to get used to. Definitely recommend!!

Product did not perform as advertised. We followed the instructions, and the device was ineffective in alerting any disturbances from the pool device to the receiver. We moved it around to test and still poor results.We would like a refund. However, Amazon is not allowing us to return as we missed the 30 day window to do so.

This does exactly what it says. Buy it right now. Finally a pool product that brings pools to the 2023 era of must have products like the iphone/pixel or apple watch, etc. Package, design, app, implementation, customer service all tops.Beacon sits in the pool (attached however you'd like, we have it stuck via included 3M tape to waterline tile in the middle of the pool) and detects wave movement. If the 3 year old goes in the pool it senses it immediately (1+ seconds). The app helps you to determine best placement (not next to skimmer or infloor cleaning jets).Beacon connects wirelessly (bluetooth i think) to a receiver which looks like a modern thermostat. Beacon uses batteries which appear to last for months. Receiver is mounted on indoor wall. Must be within 100 feet of beacon. Ours is about 40 feet on a wall that has a window overlooking pool.Receiver has various functions but it is essentially a giant alarm (same siren as fire/carbon monoxide detector). When beacon senses movement in pool which means someone has walked/fallen in, the receiver sounds the alarm very loudly and also sends notification to your phone via the app. It is near instantaneous (probably 1+ second delay). The notification on your phone happens anywhere you are as long as you have cell service.The receiver has buttons which can control the beacon. Off, on or swim mode (doesn't sound the alarm but when waves stop turns itself back to the on position automatically). We don't use any buttons on the receiver because the app has all the functionality. The receiver plugs in or has a battery that recharges via an included cable.The app is super slick. On/Off/Swim mode. Helps you to set up device. Change sensitivity settings (some places are more windy, some pools with infloor systems have a "busier" surface water. Adjust for size of pool, etc. All modern. Firmware updates have been pushed through. Shows you if receiver has good signal. Can set "quiet times" where alarm will not be active. Shows history. Various other set up options.Customer service is via email and response time is <24 hours. Its possible you have questions, and it appears from my experience they will be answered in an acceptable timeframe and manner.I am impressed. I have a new(ish) pool and the contractor installed iaqualink from zodiac which is an all encompassing wireless pool control system (pumps, heat, infloor, lights, etc) that you control from anywhere. It is terrible. The app is super outdated, not slick, need to be a computer expert to reprogram even simple functions which negates its utility and therefore its mostly useless (and very expensive). Feels like it was designed 20 years ago. This is not what lifebuoy is. Lifebuoy app, beacon, receiver and controls are all what you might expect apple or google to have designed. Wish they made a product to replace iaqualink.

Once product is set-up and running, it works pretty well. The set-up will be a bit frustrating, even if you are tech savvy. I have my home functioning with close to 40 items running remotely through wi-fi, so I'm experienced with this kind of device. The software updated 3 times in the install, then the app needed updating. I understand updates are needed but this really seemed off putting as it stopped the set-up each time. Once it was set-up, the product does seem to be very good. We used a 32oz water bottle dropping it into the pool in different locations, caught it every time. They might not say this in the add but you would really have to try very hard to be in there and not set this device off. Time will tell how it holds up against the Phoenix sun, but I'm feeling good about my purchase.

I absolutely love this alarm. We have a 33' x 18' inground pool and I was concerned that one buoy would not be enough but it is perfect. We have a puppy that fell into the pool and lucky enough I was there to help her out before we had a tragic event. With also having a 2yr old granddaughter and it was time to start looking for a pool alarm. I read comments and looked at several different types of alarms. In reading the review on this model, most of the comments were from amazon vine users. I was a little worried but since the alarm had free returns, I took my chances and I am so very glad I did. We placed it half way down the long length of the pool. I put 5 gallons of water in an empty sprayer and dropped it down a few feet in each corner of the pool and the alarm went off within 5 seconds or less. This is with the sensitivity level set on 3 on the app. The alarm sounded at the pool buoy and inside the home and was quite loud. One thing I did not read in the instructions is that when the alarm sounds off, after about 15 seconds, it will go into swim mode. Then eventually it will switch back to alarm mode. I like this feature. When I first installed it in our pool and began downloading the APP, I had some difficulty, so I emailed the company Customer Service. Within an hour they responded back with the answer I needed. Grateful for the great customer service and quick response. The flow for our below ground pool is close to the top of our pool and we did have to adjust the flow a little below the top water level to prevent the alarm from going off every morning when the pool pump turns on. Some time it still goes off and although I could change the sensitivity level on the App to a different level, I don't mind hearing it every now and then just to hear the alarm still works. We also have a chlorinator that floats on the top of our pool and every now and then when it hits the alarm it may also make it sound the alarm. I love this alarm and it has given my husband and I the PEACE OF MIND knowing that our family can be safe. It may cost a little more that some of the others, but my husband and I would highly recommend this alarm. You get what you pay for and the peace of mind that we now have was well worth the price.
