FAQ – Dock LifeGuard
1. What is the sensing range of Dock Lifeguard?
Dock Lifeguard can detect stray electricity over 100 feet away in ideal conditions and, in some cases, up to 200 feet. Factors like water clarity, environment, and the unit's sensitivity settings can affect the range. This wide detection radius ensures proactive monitoring for electrical hazards around your dock.
2. What is Electric Shock Drowning (ESD)?
Electric Shock Drowning (ESD) occurs when a person is exposed to electrical current in the water, usually around docks or marinas. The current can cause muscle paralysis, preventing the person from swimming or staying afloat, leading to drowning. ESD is often caused by electrical faults in dock wiring or nearby equipment, making proper monitoring critical.
3. My dock passed inspection. Why do I still need Dock Lifeguard?
Even with an up-to-code dock, unforeseen events can inject electricity into the water, such as wear on wire insulation due to wave action or rising lake levels submerging electrical feeds. Additionally, Dock Lifeguard detects hazardous electricity from neighboring docks or faulty transformers, ensuring continuous protection against external sources.
4. How does Dock Lifeguard provide warnings?
Dock Lifeguard uses super-bright LEDs, a loud audible siren (90+ dB), and a visual display of the stray voltage level. It can also trip a GFCI breaker to cut power to the dock, and with additional hardware, it can send push notifications directly to your phone for real-time alerts.
5. Can you repair electrical issues on my dock in an emergency?
Absolutely. We provide emergency electrical repairs for docks, including troubleshooting wiring issues and ensuring dock lighting and electrical systems are safe and functional.
5. Why is Dock Lifeguard important for fresh water environments?
Fresh water is less conductive than salt water, causing electricity to concentrate and pose a greater risk over a larger area. This makes ESD a silent and deadly hazard. Dock Lifeguard continuously monitors for stray electrical currents, offering peace of mind and critical protection for you and your loved ones.
7. Do you offer diver services for underwater repairs or inspections?
Yes, we have certified divers who can perform underwater inspections, repairs, and recovery services. Whether it's a submerged dock component, boat, or other submerged items, we can address the issue effectively.
