Lifebuoy Solo Floating Pool Alarm for Inground & Above-Ground Pools — 110 dB Local Siren, Bluetooth Setup

The Lifebuoy Solo is a standalone floating pool alarm that sounds a 110 dB local alarm when it detects disturbances as light as 5 lb, controlled via a Bluetooth app but not sending push alerts to your phone.

If you need a visible, audible pool safety device that sits in the water and triggers a loud local alarm, the Lifebuoy Solo is built for that role. It is a self-contained floating alarm suitable for both inground and above-ground pools. Note that Solo is not ASTM F2208 certified, does not send notifications to mobile phones, and cannot connect to or expand with BCone systems or home-unit-required city-code systems.

How does the Solo detect something in the water?

The Solo uses sensitive motion and impact detection calibrated to register disturbances down to about 5 lb on the maximum sensitivity setting. The device runs a smart algorithm to reduce false alarms from wind or small waves and includes a special swim mode to avoid triggering when people intentionally enter the pool.

• Detects objects from roughly 5 lb at peak sensitivity
• Algorithmic false-alarm prevention to limit nuisance alerts
• Dedicated swim mode to prevent activation during normal pool use
• Floating design seats the sensor at the water surface for consistent detection

Will I receive mobile notifications from the Lifebuoy app?

The Lifebuoy Bluetooth app is intended for setup, customization and local control only — it does not push alarms or notifications to your phone. You can configure sensitivity, toggle swim mode, and monitor battery status via the app when you are within Bluetooth range, but the Solo’s alarm output is a loud on-device siren rather than a remote mobile alert.

• Bluetooth app for configuration and status checks (no remote alerts)
• On-device 110 dB alarm provides immediate local notification
• App works from home for setup, but not as a notification channel
• Not compatible with BCone or home-unit integrations required by some city codes

How loud and rugged is the Solo pool alarm?

The Solo emits up to 110 dB to ensure the alarm is heard from around the pool area. It is built to resist sunlight, UV degradation and common pool chemicals so it remains operational season after season. Battery life and maintenance depend on usage and storage; regular checks via the app and visual inspections are recommended.

• Maximum sound output: 110 dB for strong local warning
• UV- and chemical-resistant housing for outdoor durability
• Simple visual checks and app status for routine maintenance
• Designed for seasonal use in both inground and above-ground pools

Is the Solo compliant with local pool-safety regulations?

Solo is a standalone floating alarm and may not meet regulations in jurisdictions that require a home-unit or networked system. It is not ASTM F2208 certified and cannot be used as a component with BCone systems, so verify local code requirements before relying on it as your primary legal safety device.

• Not ASTM F2208 certified
• Standalone unit — not compatible with BCone or home-unit-dependent codes
• Recommended as an additional safety layer, not a guaranteed code substitute
• Check local regulations to confirm acceptability

Who this is for: Lifebuoy Solo fits pool owners who want an easy-to-install, self-contained floating alarm that delivers a loud local siren and on-device intelligence without remote mobile alerts. It’s ideal for homeowners seeking an extra layer of audible pool protection for family and pets, for pools where a standalone alarm is acceptable under local rules, and for users who prefer simple Bluetooth-based setup and controls rather than cloud notifications or integrated home-unit networks. If you require AST M certification, cloud alerts to smartphones, or compatibility with BCone or home-unit systems, consider those alternatives alongside the Solo.
