Smart ASTM-Certified Pool Safety System
Pool safety is one of the most important considerations for homeowners with backyard pools. The Lifebuoy BCone Floating Pool Alarm System is designed to detect movement in pool water and trigger a loud alert if someone or something unexpectedly enters the pool. The system combines a floating sensor, an indoor alarm unit, and smartphone alerts to create a modern safety solution for residential pools.
Unlike traditional pool alarms that rely solely on one device, this system provides multi-layer alerts through the pool unit, indoor receiver, and mobile notifications, helping homeowners react quickly to potential accidents.
How the Lifebuoy BCone Pool Alarm Works
The system includes a floating pool unit that sits on the water’s surface and detects disturbances caused by movement or entry into the pool. When the device senses a significant change in water motion, it immediately triggers an alarm and sends alerts to connected devices.
A home receiver unit placed inside the house produces a loud audible alarm, ensuring the alert can be heard indoors and outdoors. Through the companion smartphone app, users can also receive notifications and adjust sensitivity settings remotely.
The floating sensor typically monitors an area up to 20 ft × 40 ft, making it suitable for many residential pools, and additional pool units can be added for larger pools or multiple water features.
Top Benefits and Features
- ASTM F2208 Certified Safety – Meets widely recognized safety standards for residential pool alarms.

- IP68 Waterproof Construction – Built to withstand pool chemicals, UV exposure, and outdoor conditions.
Installation and Setup
Installing the Lifebuoy BCone system is designed to be straightforward. The pool unit floats on the water surface and is secured to the pool edge using the included attachment hardware. The indoor home unit connects to a power source and your home Wi-Fi network, allowing communication between the sensor, the receiver, and the smartphone app.
Once paired through the mobile app, the system can send alerts and allow remote management of alarm settings, sensitivity levels, and swim mode activation.
Pool Compatibility
The BCone system works with a wide range of water environments, including:
- In-ground pools
- Above-ground pools
- Hot tubs and spas
- Garden ponds
Because it floats directly on the water surface, the alarm adapts to different pool shapes and sizes without requiring permanent installation.
Why Pool Owners Choose the Lifebuoy BCone System
Many pool alarms rely on simple sensors that can trigger false alerts or fail to detect subtle water disturbances. The BCone system uses an advanced detection algorithm and adjustable sensitivity settings, helping reduce nuisance alarms while still responding quickly to potential accidents.
The addition of mobile alerts, smart-home integration, and a dual-alarm system makes it a modern option for homeowners who want additional awareness and peace of mind around their pool area.
