Child Immersion Alarm
A last layer of protection for children near water
Safety Turtle provides continuous protection to the wearer. This continuous protection compares to water disturbance pool alarms which are deactivated (and reactivated) by whoever uses or cleans the pool or spa. This distinction is vital because toddler accidents often occur when a pool or spa area is left unsecured or when adults are in attendance.
A Safety Turtle personal alarm can also accompany a child on vacation or on visits to a boat, cottage or another pool, where unfamiliar surroundings and less security add risk.
A standard child immersion alarm system consists of:
Safety Turtle is not a substitute for diligent supervision or an adequate barrier to restrict the access of children to water hazards.

Immersion Alarm and Salt Water
Natural fresh water does not greatly impede the signal radiating from an immersed Turtle. No matter how fast a Turtle descends in the water, it will always alarm on the way down.
An increase in salt concentration increases water’s conductivity, making propagation of a radio wave more difficult. This has the effect of reducing “depth coverage”, the depth below which a Base Station cannot decipher the signal transmitted by an immersed Turtle.
Note: Salt does NOT affect the operation of the electronics or a Turtle’s operating life.

A standard child immersion alarm system consists of:
- One or more Turtle Wristbands of the same color including a 7.8 inch (20 cm.) locking wristband, key and matching “baby Turtle” coding plug for Base Station
- A Standard Base Station
- Safety Turtle works with ALL Fresh Water, natural [lake, river and pond] or man made [pool, hot tub and pond].
- For use with salt water **
- No installation required.
- Quick set up and test.
- A loud alarm instantly sounds at the Base Station when the Turtle is immersed in water. The alarm continues to sound until it is reset.
- Rain or light spray won't trigger the alarm.
- Children enjoy wearing the colorful Turtle Wristbands.
- The Turtle Wristband locks securely around a child's wrist, using the key provided.
- The Turtle is permanently sealed and rugged to withstand children's play.
- The Turtle has a battery life of 3 – 4 years
- A child wearing his/her Turtle is protected even while the pool is in use or is being cleaned. There is no need to ever “turn off” the system.
- No installation at the pool is required.
- Safety Turtle is easily portable, and with the Turtle Power battery pack / weatherproof bag accessory, can be used anywhere.
- The alarm volume can be reduced temporarily for testing.
- The Turtle(s) can be tested for low battery.
- The Safety Turtle system can be progressively expanded through the purchase of additional sensors(s) of the same color.
- The Turtle helps you teach your child water safety.
- By using different colors of Turtle, neighbors can enjoy the benefits of Safety Turtle without triggering each other's alarms.
- Unlike other pool alarms, Safety Turtle can alert if your child falls in an immediate neighbours pool, spa or pond.
Safety Turtle is not a substitute for diligent supervision or an adequate barrier to restrict the access of children to water hazards.
