Safeguard Your Whole Family


Everyone will agree that child safety is paramount but no matter how well you look after your child, it only takes an instant for him or her to be out of sight and potentially in danger. Safewater Alarms have introduced a range of safety devices to cut down the risk to children in the house, garden, nursery or at school. We spoke with director Paul McHugh to find out more.

Paul said “We’re a family run business that really takes child safety around the home very seriously. We identified some of the main dangers to children around the home and garden and set out to find products that will really reduce the risks. We are different from many companies who sell safety products because we ensure each one is tried and tested and our staff know how each product works. We also try to educate our customers by providing information on child safety and protection on our web site and blog at www.safewateralarms.co.uk

Safewater Alarms was created in 2005 with the intention of addressing certain high risk areas to children. Accidents occur when children wander off and are unseen, even for a split second, and Safewater Alarms provide a number of wireless alarms to give parents and carers remote warning of possible danger.

Each year there are many children who sadly die in garden ponds and swimming pools and Safewater Alarms set out to reduce that risk by supplying the Poolguard. A simple battery operated device that sounds an alarm in the house if anything of similar size to a 1-year-old child should access the water.

The Safety Turtle is a wristband device that senses water when submerged. With a range of 60 – 120 metres line of sight and the option of a number of base stations, it is an effective protector. As an added security, the Safety Turtle Gate Alarm can be attached to access gates to pools or even driveway gates and will sound if a child manages to unlatch the gate.

Young children have a great skill at evading the attention of mums and dads and before you know it they are out of sight. Safewater Alarms promote the Lostme Foundme, a valuable twin function wristband device with remote monitor that sounds the alarm as soon as the child goes further than a pre-prescribed distance. If the child is still in vision the monitor can be reset. However, if the child is not in sight,  you can switch the receiver to the locate function and set the distance to maximum, the alarm will stop but when you start getting closer to your child the fob will start bleeping again.

Paul said “Safewater Alarms is selling this product because it is simple but effective, it is British designed and has been tested in the UK. The transmitters are well designed and half the battle is won if your child is happy to wear the product.”

Safewater Alarms products don’t just cater for children though as pets can easily get into similar trouble and there are a number of products designed to rescue your pet from ponds and pools from an adadpted Safety Turtle to the Skamper Ramp.

Paul says “We are going to try to educate mothers and fathers on the dangers that garden ponds, swimming pools and all forms of water can bring to their loved ones. If our products help save just one life then Safewater Alarms is a worthwhile company to own.

Mahatma Gandhi once said Strive not to be a success, but rather to be of value.”
