Every parent deserves peace of mind around the pool
BCone is an intelligent pool alarm that detects unexpected water entry and alerts your family instantly — through your phone, your smart speaker, and a loud alarm at the pool.
Most pool owners don't know
this product exists
Fences and covers are great — but what happens when the gate is left open, the cover is off, or someone slips through? A pool alarm is the safety layer that most families are missing.
The gap in pool safety no one talks about
Nearly 70% of toddler drownings happen during non-swim time — moments when no one expected the child to be near the water. A fence helps. Supervision helps. But what about the 10 seconds when you step inside to grab a towel?
Pool alarms exist specifically for those moments. They're recognized by the CPSC, required by law in several states, and recommended by the American Academy of Pediatrics. Yet most families with a backyard pool have never heard of them.
BCone is designed to fill that gap.
ages 1–4 in the U.S.
Drowning doesn't wait for you to be ready
It happens fast. It happens silently. And it almost always happens when no one expected it.
"The pool doesn't care if you were only gone for a minute."
Don't Wait — Shop BConeThis isn't about fear.
It's about being realistic.
You don't need to be paranoid to want protection. You just need to be a parent, a grandparent, a pet owner — or someone who has people you love near your pool.
Parents of young children
Your kids are fast, curious, and fearless. You can't watch every second of every day — and you shouldn't have to do it alone. BCone watches the water when you step away.
Grandparents
When the grandkids visit, the pool becomes the center of the action — and the worry. You want to enjoy the time, not spend it in constant anxiety.
Pet owners
Dogs fall into pools more than people realize — especially older dogs, small breeds, or pups who can't find the steps back out. BCone detects pets too.
Hosts and homeowners
Pool parties, neighborhood kids coming over, guests who don't know your yard — having an alarm protects everyone, including you from liability.
How BCone protects your pool
No complicated setup. No subscription. Just reliable protection that works automatically.
Place in the pool
The pool unit floats on the water's surface and continuously monitors for disturbances. It takes less than 5 minutes to set up.
Connect to WiFi
Pair the home unit with your WiFi network through the Lifebuoy app. One-time setup — then it runs on its own.
Water entry detected
When something or someone enters the pool, the sensor detects the disturbance in the water surface and triggers the alarm.
You get alerted instantly
The Pool Unit and home unit both sound a loud alarm. Your phone gets a push notification
Why families choose BCone instead of
doing nothing
Because "I'll just keep an eye on them" is a plan until it isn't.
Because eyes can't be everywhere
You can be the most attentive parent in the world and still get distracted. A phone call, a doorbell, another child calling for help. BCone fills the gaps your attention can't.
Because fences aren't foolproof
Gates get left open. Kids climb. Dogs find gaps. A fence is a barrier — an alarm is the alert when the barrier fails. The best safety plans have layers.
Because accidents happen off-hours
Most pool incidents don't happen during swim time. They happen when no one expected anyone near the water — early morning, after dark, during nap time.
Because you can't always be at home
With WiFi alerts on your phone, BCone tells you if something enters your pool even when you're at work, running errands, or asleep upstairs.
Because liability is real
If a neighbor's child or a guest's pet falls into your pool, you may be held responsible. A pool alarm is both a safety measure and a smart precaution.
Because the cost is tiny vs. the risk
For less than the cost of a pool cleaning, you add a critical layer of safety that works 24/7, 365 days a year. The question isn't "can I afford this?" — it's "can I afford not to?"
Real situations where BCone makes the difference
These aren't hypotheticals. These are the everyday moments that pool owners face — the ones that happen faster than you can react.
You step inside for a towel
The kids are playing in the yard. You run inside to grab towels. In those 90 seconds, your toddler wanders toward the pool. BCone detects the water entry and alerts you immediately.
You take a phone call
You're on the patio, watching the pool. A work call comes in. Your attention shifts for three minutes. Your child silently slips into the shallow end. BCone sounds the alarm before you even notice.
It's nighttime and the pool is unattended
Everyone's inside. The pool gate was left open. Your dog, a visiting child, or even wildlife enters the pool overnight. BCone alerts your phone and sounds the alarm at the house.
Neighbor kids come over uninvited
You're not home, but the kids next door found a way into your yard. Before they even get fully in the water, BCone detects the entry and sends you a notification.
A pool party winds down and not every child is accounted for
Parents start chatting. Kids scatter around the yard. One child walks back toward the pool unnoticed. BCone is the layer that doesn't get tired, distracted, or assume someone else is watching.

Independently Tested
Detection algorithm tested and validated by independent labs under real-world conditions.
Thousands of Families

"We have 3 pugs and one fell in the pool last year and almost drowned. Many tests done and the alarm works. Total peace of mind now."
"It works exactly as described, set up was a breeze, quality product. If you have children and you are concerned for their safety, this alarm system will put your mind at ease."
"I didn't know I needed one of these until I got it. The app software is responsive and easy to understand. I am so happy that I did for the peace of mind alone."
Designed for real life, not just for demos
False alarms are the #1 concern we hear. That's exactly why BCone's detection algorithm was engineered to tell the difference between a child falling in and wind, rain, or pool equipment.
Advanced wave-pattern detection
BCone doesn't just detect any splash. Its algorithm analyzes the specific wave pattern caused by a body entering the water — filtering out wind ripples, rain, and pool pump activity.
Swim mode for planned pool time
When the family is actively swimming, simply activate swim mode through the app or the home unit. When no movement is detected for several minutes, the system will reactivate automatically — so your pool is never left unprotected.
Five sensitivity levels
Adjust BCone's sensitivity from the app to match your pool's environment. Reduce sensitivity if you have water features or live in a windy area. Increase it for maximum protection.
Do Not Disturb mode for nighttime
Use DND to avoid false alarms during the night from environmental factors, while the system continues to monitor and alert through the app.
Easy to reset, easy to manage
If the alarm does trigger, resetting is instant — from the home unit, the app, or even with a voice command through Alexa.
5 minutes. No tools. No technician.
If you can connect a device to WiFi, you can set up BCone. Seriously — that's the hardest part.
No drilling, no wiring, no modifications
The pool unit floats. The home unit plugs in via USB-C. That's it. No holes in your pool deck. No electrician needed.
Guided app setup
The Lifebuoy app walks you through every step with clear instructions. Most families are up and running in under 5 minutes — including firmware updates.
Long-lasting battery
The pool unit runs on 2 standard AA batteries that last up to 18 months. The home unit has a rechargeable battery with USB-C charging — no special batteries required.
Works with Alexa
Connect BCone to your existing smart home setup for voice-activated control throughout your house.
Works with virtually any residential pool
In-ground, above-ground, saltwater, chlorine — BCone is designed to work in the real world, not just in a laboratory.
In-ground and above-ground pools
BCone works with all standard residential pool types — plus spas, hot tubs, and garden ponds. The floating sensor adapts to any water surface.
Covers up to 20' × 40' per unit
One pool unit covers most standard residential pools. For larger pools or L-shaped configurations, connect up to 4 pool units to a single home unit.
100 ft (30 m) range to the home unit
The pool unit communicates wirelessly with the home unit from up to 100 feet away — more than enough for most home setups.
IP68 waterproof certified
The pool unit is built to live in water. IP68 rated for continuous submersion. Rain, splashing, direct sunlight, UV, and pool chemicals — it handles it all.
Portable — take it on vacation
BCone is easily detachable and portable. Take it with you to vacation rentals, the grandparents' pool, or anywhere your family swims.
Everything you need.
Nothing you don't.
BCone combines smart technology with simple operation, giving you protection without complexity.
WiFi connectivity
Get real-time push notifications on your phone through the Lifebuoy app — from anywhere in the world, not just at home.
Alexa Voice Control
Arm and disarm through your smart speakers. "Alexa, ask Lifebuoy to arm the pool alarm."
Loud dual alarm
When triggered, both the pool unit and the home unit sound a loud, attention-grabbing alarm. Adjustable siren length from 10 to 180 seconds.
Smart swim mode
Pause monitoring during planned swim time. When no movement is detected for several minutes, the system reactivates automatically.
Multi-unit support
Large or complex pool? Connect up to 4 pool units to a single home unit for complete coverage of any residential pool shape or size.
18-month battery life
The pool unit runs on 2 standard AA batteries lasting up to 18 months. The home unit has a rechargeable battery with USB-C — no special batteries needed.
IP68 waterproof
Built to live in water. Certified IP68 waterproof for continuous operation in any pool environment. UV and chemical resistant.
5 sensitivity levels
Fine-tune detection from the app to match your pool environment. Reduce false triggers without compromising safety.
100 ft wireless range
The home unit receives signals from the pool unit at up to 100 feet — double the range of the previous generation for reliable whole-yard coverage.
BCone is one important layer — not the only one
We believe in honest safety. BCone is not a replacement for supervision, fencing, swim lessons, or good judgment. It's a critical additional layer that works when other layers fail.
No single product can prevent every drowning. But a well-designed alarm system can give you the seconds you need to respond — and those seconds can make all the difference.
We say this because we're genuinely committed to pool safety, not just selling a product. We want families to take a layered approach:
