is this alarm for above ground pools?

We purchased it for an in ground pool. I believe it would need a platform to rest the base if you were going to use it in an above ground pool.

Yes. It has a float and comes on automaticly. All you need to buy is an alarm or buzzer.

Yes, the alarm will probably sound, either when your dog jumps in or when the dog swims around. The alarm is sensitive - which is exactly what you want. My alarm has sounded falsely only twice - once during a thunderstorm and once when the pool pump started when there was a lot of air in the system.

We Recommend that you drill a hole and use the ASP (pin) which is 2" long and takes a 5/16" hole. If you cannot use the ASP then you can remove it by turning it counter clockwise and put a weight (small sandbag as an example) on the alarm to hold it steady. This alarm comes with a 3 year warranty and we will cover the alarm if it falls into the pool, even if the ASP has been removed. Thanks

I don't think this is correct product for you. It is made to detect the location of small leaks. You already know the source/location of your "leak". It is not an alarm but a diagnostic tool.

This was recommended by the people who built our pool. I suppose it depends on how much "alarm" you need, but this thing will wake the dead.

Thankfully I have yet had the pump be activated as it is my backup pump. However, I will recommend that you use the water detecting alarm that lets you know when your electric sump pump has failed because the water level has risen in your pump well. The alarm is recommended at the bottom of the Amazon page when you're looking at the Liberty Pump site. The alarm lets you know you're running on water. If the water pump is running because of a power failure, you can't help it, but if it's a failed pump, then you know to replace it.

The short answer is "Yes". However, the unit may be too sensitive and sound the alarm because of the carbon monoxide gas emitted by your vehicles. I use mine in the kitchen area of a park model mobile home to detect any propane leakage. Any inconvenience caused by a false alarm is insignificant when compared with the alternative.

Yes because it comes in two parts one for the inside and one for the outside of the pool its connected by a wire we just took the metal bar off and then inserted the alarm and then put it back on

I doubt it would be as reliable or as quick to alert if placed on the carpet. It has two metal contacts on the bottom and when both of those are touching a wet surface, it sets the alarm off. If the alarm is sitting on top of padding and carpet, the water may need to get around an inch deep before setting off the alarm. I would recommend finding an inconspicuous corner somewhere and cutting out a 1" x 3" piece of carpet and padding there so it can rest directly on the floor. Just save the piece you cut out to put back later if necessary.

I use it on a ladder for an above ground pool. Just hook it up at a lower point

I test it occasionally by dipping the sensor/lead in water. The alarm sounds. I remove the sensor/lead from the water after a short time, and the alarm silences within a few additional seconds. It seems as if the sensor/lead is rather hydrophobic, so it rapidly ceases signaling when the water is no longer in contact with the sensor. I like that feature.

Hard to say for sure. It needs to be adjusted when it is installed. I have tossed light objects in the water and in about 5-7 seconds the alarm sounds.

I would think that you could wire both floats into a single control so that either would set off the alarm but i have not tried it. Good luck.

My pool is in ground. I think the description may be a typo. I doubt any above ground pool would include such a sophisticated filtering system.

There is no alarm. When you lose power to your home, the back up battery starts to work, thats it. You would only need an alarm if the back up didn't work and for that you can purchase a water alarm that senses an overflow of water. These alarms are very inexpensive and are sold separately. There is no problem with your pump, its the best pump you can buy.

Yes, it does. It is explained in the manual (in the Setting Vibrate Alarm section) and you can download the manual from http://www.swimovate.com/downloads/.
