Home Swimming Pool Safety
A pool in your home is a wonderful feature
creating fun for all the family and friends
and as long as the pool has adequate safety
precautions in place it will remain a safe
place. However, it is a fact that a pool can
also be a dangerous place particularly for
children if there is inadequate supervision,
it’s an even sadder fact that the statistics
indicate that deaths of children contribute
to the highest number.
There are many options to safeguard your
pool, the best one being to have constant
supervision in or close to the pool whilst
it is in use, when the swimming session is
finished use a dedicated pool safety cover
and close access to the pool. A different
option is now available – Coral Manta from
SPSC (UK) Ltd.
This highly sophisticated product is an
intelligent underwater pool monitoring
system which monitors everyone
simultaneously in the pool. If the system
detects a person in need of assistance

or is in imminent danger, an alarm will
be generated and sent to a base station
usually located close to the pool or in the
house and to any number of Smart Phones
which have the Coral Manta programme
running.
Coral Manta is literally a “plug and play”
system straight out of the box and does
not need any special skills to install or set
up, it has built in artificial intelligence so
customises itself for each pool. It is perfect
for outdoor pools as it is solar powered so
no wires are necessary, for indoors it runs
off its internal rechargeable battery.
Once installed and activated Coral Manta
is working continuously giving you an
additional layer of safety, if for any reason
it cannot perform its “duties” adequately
it will create an alarm and send a text
message to the Smart Phones. If the
pool is unoccupied it will send an alarm
message as the first person enters the pool
– it could be a straying toddler!
Although Coral Manta is relatively new to
the market place it has been in development
for 5 years and undergone rigorous testing
in various scenarios in a variety of pools.
Please bear in mind Coral Manta is not a
replacement for human supervision but
rather enhances it by providing an early
warning of a potential incident to the pool
owners.
