TALOS Lightning Detector for Pools & Spas

With a reach of 25 miles, dangerous lightning can strike at any moment from a seemingly random ‘bolt out of the blue’ sky. A lightning strike can kill or seriously injure a swimmer or those sun bathing around the pool. Don’t be caught off guard while spending time at the pool!

The TALOS® lightning detector will keep you aware of approaching or departing lightning by providing both visual and audible alerts when lightning is in the area.

TALOS Lightning Detection Solutions

FACT: Thunder can only be heard from up to 10 miles away, but lightning CAN STRIKE from 25 MILES AWAY!

Featuring the same technology used in expensive weather stations, our devices have the ability to distinguish between a false disturbance and actual lightning. You can trust the time alerts are detecting imminent danger in real time.

Get instant audible and visual alerts when lightning is within 25 miles and closer.

Use lightning safety solutions developed by TALOS to improve situational awareness of approaching & departing storms and keep outdoor enthusiasts safe!

Safety isn’t an option, it’s essential!

**When the unit is first turned on, the unit is in “Normal Mode” and will actively listen for lightning/storm activity. Pressing the ON button a second time puts the unit into the auto-sleep mode. In this mode, the detector will sleep until motion is detected, then it will turn on. If no motion is detected for 30 minutes, the unit goes back to sleep.

Where to Mount the Lightning Detector

The lightning detector should be mounted a minimum of 3 feet away from cell phones, wearables, or any other devices emitting electrical noise to avoid false positive signals. If the detector goes through a sequence of all colors, this indicates that it is detecting electrical noise interference.
