A moment of carelessness, a small slip and suddenly an everyday situation can become dangerous for children on the water. The very idea that children could fall into the water unnoticed is a nightmare for parents. But with advanced water alarm systems for children, this fear can be counteracted. These systems provide safety and peace of mind while your children play near pools, lakes or by the sea.

A survey of grandmothers found that 8 out of 10 recognized the benefits of this innovation and wished they had had such a device for their own children sooner. This suggests that the investment in children's health and safety goes far beyond monetary value.

The water alarm band, which can be easily attached to children's wrists, does not affect their enjoyment of play and is as inconspicuous as a wristwatch. The associated base station works similarly to a baby monitor and sounds an alarm as soon as the band comes into contact with water. This flexible and mobile system, which runs independently of a fixed power source using batteries, is the ideal companion for family trips, whether at the hotel on the beach, visiting a local lake or at the outdoor pool.

Note: Your pets can also be protected from the dangers of floods with the alarm bands.

Full functionality of the water alarm bands

The water alarm bands combine comfort with the highest safety standards. They are designed to be easily adjustable to the desired length and respond to dangerous contact with water within a range of 50 meters. A practical quick-release fastener allows the bracelet to be put on easily, although the toddler is not able to remove the protection on their own.

These flexible systems are ideal for traveling because they work reliably even without a direct connection between the transmitter and base station. If the bracelet loses connection to the base station, an alarm is triggered. This is particularly useful in unfamiliar environments where the 50 meter distance estimate can quickly be erroneous.

In addition, the alarm bands offer the opportunity to secure various people - from babies and small children to people with disabilities. The adjustable band can also be adjusted for pets if desired to protect them from the dangers of water.

Do you know the dangers of water?

Water poses a particularly high risk for babies and small children. Drowning is the second most common cause of death in this age group and often occurs shockingly quietly. Pediatricians attribute this to two main reasons:

• Newborns and small children have a disproportionately large head in relation to their body, which often affects parents' ability to assess the risk. Even a water depth of around 10 cm can be dangerous for them.
• An instinctive protective reflex closes the throat when their head goes under water. This prevents them from screaming and can, in rare cases, lead to "dry drowning" when breathing is blocked despite the lack of fluid in the airways.

Keep in mind that even water inhaled after a water accident can still cause edema or impaired gas exchange later. The risks from water and moments of carelessness are diverse and should not be underestimated.

Everyday distractions that can contribute to a water accident include:

• Important phone calls during supervision time.
• The ringing of a messenger at the door.
• Short household tasks such as unloading the washing machine or checking the stove.
• The relaxation on days off, which can reduce alertness.
• The dangerous overestimation of one's own multitasking abilities.

These distractions can happen every day, but all it takes is a single moment to change a life forever. Just four minutes without oxygen can cause irreversible brain damage, and five minutes is often the difference between life and death. With water alarm bands you can significantly reduce this risk:

• Completely fulfill your supervisory obligation.
• Secure dangerous water points with physical barriers such as fences.
• Teach your children to swim as early as possible.

With the water alarm bands you are immediately informed about critical situations, can react quickly and protect your loved ones.
