🛠 Key Criteria When Choosing an Emergency Pool Phones

1. Ingress Protection (IP) Rating
   For pool environments, choose devices with at least IP54 to protect against splashes. For better durability—especially in humid or chlorine-rich conditions—opt for IP65 to IP67, which provide stronger protection against water and dust.

2. Corrosion Resistance and Materials
   Look for stainless steel or steel panel with anti-corrosion coatings. These materials help resist rust caused by chlorine, moisture, and high humidity, preserving both safety and appearance.

3. Placement & Accessibility
   Mount the phone so staff and guests can reach it quickly—preferably within 200 feet (≈ 60 meters) of the pool edge. Visibility (bright colors) and uncluttered access are critical for emergency response.

4. High Visibility
   Colors like red, yellow, or orange stand out and make the phone easy to locate in panic situations. Clear signage or symbols also help.

5. Simple Operation
   An Emergency Pool Phone should offer a single button or dedicated handset for emergency dialing. Minimize confusion—this ensures fast connection when every second counts.

6. Reliable Communication Types
   Depending on what's available onsite, choose from:

   • Analog: Uses existing telephone or PBX infrastructure.

   • VoIP/SIP: Connects via network; can use PoE or DC power.

   • GSM/4G: Uses mobile network and works independently of wired infrastructure. Solar power options add redundancy.

7. Compliance & Accessories
   Ensure devices meet relevant safety standards. Useful accessories include external horn speakers, strobe lights, noise-cancelling mics, and solar backup systems for power outages.
