Pool Guard DAPT-WT Wireless Door Alarm with Outdoor Pass-Through Transmitter
Code-compliant door protection for pool homes.
The Pool Guard DAPT-WT Wireless Door Alarm (SKU PST-DAPTWT) sounds the instant a child opens a door leading to your pool, then keeps sounding until an adult clears it. The included outdoor wireless transmitter lets adults pass back inside without setting it off, so you get serious child-safety protection without nuisance alarms every time you bring in groceries. Always-on, UL 2017 listed for water hazard entrance alarm equipment, and built by Pool Guard in the USA since 1982.
Why PST Customers Pick This
Immediate Child Detection
The horn sounds the second the door opens. No delay button, no 7-second window, no chance for a small child to slip out unnoticed.
Adult Pass-Through Transmitter
Carry the included outdoor wireless transmitter and the alarm stays silent when you re-enter. Kids without the transmitter still trigger the horn.
5 Minute Auto Reset
If the door closes behind whoever opened it, the alarm continues for 5 minutes then resets itself. You do not have to walk over and silence it.
Audible Low Battery Alert
A 9 volt battery powers the unit for roughly one year. You hear a chirp when it gets low, so it never goes silent unnoticed.
Built in the USA Since 1982
Pool Guard (PBM Industries) has been making pool, door, and gate alarms in the United States for over four decades. Backed by a 1 year manufacturer warranty.
Meets Building Code Requirements
UL 2017 listed for water hazard entrance alarm equipment and compliant with residential pool barrier code requirements that mandate a door alarm on every pool-accessible opening.
Code Compliance Notice
Many jurisdictions require an audible alarm on every door leading from the residence to the pool area under the ISPSC and local pool barrier codes. Verify your local code for required mounting height, decibel level, and pass-through type before final installation. Test the unit weekly and replace the 9 volt battery at the first low-battery chirp.

Frequently Asked Questions
How is the DAPT-WT different from the standard DAPT-2 Pool Guard door alarm?
Both units sound an 85 dB horn the instant a child opens the door. The difference is the pass-through. The DAPT-2 uses a button on the alarm that an adult presses before opening the door from inside. The DAPT-WT adds an outdoor wireless transmitter so adults can also re-enter from outside (back from the pool, the yard, the driveway) without setting off the alarm. If anyone in your household regularly enters the house from the pool side, the DAPT-WT is the right choice.
What doors does this work on?
The DAPT-WT mounts on virtually any residential door that leads from the house to the pool area: swing doors, sliding glass doors, French doors, and screen doors. A magnetic sensor on the door and frame triggers the horn the moment they separate. Hardware to mount on both wood and metal frames is included.
Does this satisfy the pool door alarm code requirement in my state?
The DAPT-WT is UL 2017 listed for water hazard entrance alarm equipment, which is the listing most state and local pool barrier codes reference. It meets the standard ISPSC and IRC requirements for an audible alarm on every door leading to the pool. Always verify the specific language in your local code, since some jurisdictions add requirements around mounting height or deactivation type.
Can I install this myself?
Yes. The DAPT-WT is a battery-powered surface-mount unit: no wiring, no drilling into the door itself, and no licensed electrician required. Installation typically takes 15 to 20 minutes with a screwdriver. The wireless transmitter pairs out of the box, so once you mount the alarm on the door frame and the magnet on the door, you are protected.
Will it false-alarm every time the wind shakes the door?
No. The alarm fires when the magnetic contact actually separates, not from vibration. If you do see false triggers, it almost always means the magnet gap is too large, which is fixed by re-positioning the magnet closer to the sensor or by adding the included spacer.
