A boat with faulty wiring could enter the water near a marina at any time. Heed warning signs in these areas and do not swim.
Pools and docks with electricity nearby (lighting, boat lifts, pumps, etc.) should be inspected twice a year.
Always use a Certified Electrician for inspections and electrical work near water.
Shock Alert will notify you of electricity present in water. If it beeps and flashes red, DO NOT SWIM. If it flashes green, no voltage is detected.
Due to the tragic nature of previous water and electricity related injuries and deaths, Shock Alert was created to detect the presence of electrical voltage in water.
What Is Electric Shock Drowning?
Electric Shock Drowning (ESD) occurs when AC voltage present in water passes through your body. Even a low-level of voltage can cause skeletal muscular paralysis, rendering the victim helpless and eventually resulting in drowning.
Electricity may be introduced to water in a variety of ways, including improperly wired pumps, boats, or lighting, improperly grounded wires, or stray current in the ground. This presence of electrical voltage in water is invisible, so it is crucial that water always be checked for voltage prior to swimming.
