Pool Phone FAQ's
(Frequently Asked Questions)

1) Who is Rath Microtech?
Rath is the largest manufacturer of Emergency Phones in North America.


2) What’s the difference between your pool phone and a standard phone?

The key differences are:

• Industrial quality for long lasting performance


• Automatically dials 911 or your preferred number


• 2 year warranty


3) How does the pool phone get its power?
The power to run the phone comes from the phone line.


4) Is there a monthly or annual charge for the pool phone?
No, not from Rath. The phone is usually connected to the internal phone system (with no monthly cost) or you can run a separate phone line (which may have a cost).


5) Which pool phone model is the most popular?
Most companies pick our model 624POOL because it has a handset. If it’s a noisy environment, the handset phone provides the best communication.


6) Can I hook up a strobe so it goes off when someone activates the pool phone?
Yes, but the strobe will need 120v power.


7) Can these pool phones be used in high humidity or wet environments?
Yes, our phones are built to withstand the wet and corrosive environment that occurs near a chlorinated swimming pool.


8) Can I install the pool phone myself?
Yes, just run a phone line off your existing phone system. If you have to add an outside line, contact your local phone carrier.


9) How is the phone call disconnected?
The call is disconnected when the called party (911) hangs up. With the handset phone, once you hang it up no conversation can take place. With the speaker phone, the called party (911) can talk to and listen to what is happening as long as they want.
