Safer Water

Unauthorized entry into a pool or spa area by a child is a prescription for tragedy.  So is an unattended bucket of water, open toilet or bathtub for a toddler.  Water can be made safer simply by becoming aware of its dangers and by developing good habits that reduce risk factors.  Water can also be made safer with the installation, maintenance and proper use of fencing, self-closing gates and latches, pool covers and alarms and additional safety equipment to protect the aquatic perimeter.

These devices work, but why aren’t they more widely used?  We think it might be because of the cost and intrusiveness of the equipment as well as the general lack of awareness of water safety issues in the community.

But technology is becoming available that would reduce the cost and intrusiveness of pool safety equipment while increasing its effectiveness.  It just needs to be applied to products designed to make water safer.  We can play a key role to make this happen.

We believe that by increasing awareness of water dangers The Safer 3 will become a catalyst for innovation.  Increasing awareness increases the size of the potential market for pool safety equipment which in turn attracts entrepreneurs and manufacturers who will eventually develop better, safer, more affordable water safety products.
