Inside swimming pools, saunas, and wellness centers, the conditions for electronics are challenging. Chlorine, moisture, and temperature fluctuations demand an AED that can withstand impact. At the same time, the need is high: physical exertion in water or the thermal stress of a sauna can pose a risk to the heart. Therefore, purchasing an AED for your swimming pool or wellness center is an essential part of safety protocols. By choosing equipment with high waterproofing and rapid deployment on wet surfaces, you create a safe haven for both recreational swimmers and sauna guests.

Rapid assistance in a high-risk environment
While swimming and sauna visits are healthy, they carry specific medical risks. Temperature shock, physical exhaustion, or underlying heart problems can lead to cardiac arrest in or near water. In such situations, every second counts. An ambulance often has to navigate through locker rooms and hallways before reaching the edge of the pool. Having your own AED in a central location near the pool or sauna entrance saves you vital minutes. Our AEDs are designed to be safe for use on wet floors, provided proper instructions (such as drying the chest) are followed.

Specific requirements for the 'wet sector'
A standard office AED isn't designed to withstand the conditions of a swimming pool or spa. High humidity and the presence of chlorine and salt can damage internal electronics. Therefore, we specifically recommend devices with a high IP rating (e.g., IP55 or higher). These devices are better protected against water jets and dust. Furthermore, a robust, lockable wall cabinet is essential to protect the device from environmental influences while remaining readily visible and accessible to everyone.

Safety for young and old
Swimming pools are frequented by children. When resuscitating a child (under 8 years old or weighing 25 kg), a lower energy output is required. Therefore, we always recommend an AED with a built-in child mode (switchable with a button) or readily available child electrodes for swimming pools. This ensures that your staff, who are often already trained in first aid for drowning, have the right equipment at their disposal for every type of guest.

Assistance from the experts at AEDwijzer
In a wellness environment, the technology is often complex enough. At AEDwijzer, we take complete charge of AED management. Due to the effects of moisture and chlorine, periodic testing of the battery and the condition of the electrodes is especially important. We offer service contracts that perform these checks for you and preventatively replace parts. This allows you to focus on your guests' relaxation, while we ensure 100% safety behind the scenes.
