The lifeguard pea or pealess whistle?

Posted by admin 03/09/2016 21 Comment(s) LIFEGUARD TIPS,

Getting your hands on the best lifeguard whistle available seems like it would be a pretty simple and straightforward affair – but isn’t quite as effortless as a lot of people make it out to be.

There are a lot of different whistles available on the market today, and though they all seem to be the same thing, there are some major differences between the options you have the chance to buy.

The biggest difference when it comes to a lifeguard whistle is whether or not it uses a pea or is pealess. Let’s break down the benefits (and drawbacks) of both of these types of lifeguard whistles.

 

What do whistles with a pea bring to the table?

A lot of the loudest lifeguard whistle options take advantage of a unique design element invented by Joseph Hudson, a man in London, in 1883.

Submitted to the Metropolitan police force as a whistle that would be louder than anything else, this whistle was called the Acme Thunderer. Today, the little pea is still used to grab the attention of people over great distances – and it does so by leveraging the air current inside the whistle chamber so that the pea vibrates around and makes a higher pitched sound.

 

The downside to lifeguard whistles with a pea

There are a couple of downsides to this lifeguard whistle, but the biggest are that they have more moving parts – parts that have the potential to fail – and aren’t all that hygienic.

 

What do pealess whistles have to offer?

Once believed to be inferior to whistles that use a pea, these whistles have enjoyed a significant boost in popularity thanks to the Fox 40 whistle that was introduced in 1985. It landed on the market as a more hygienic option, and though it isn’t quite as loud as the other types of whistles it definitely gets the job done.

 

The downside to lifeguard whistles that do not use a pea

These kinds of whistles are a little bit more expensive, and you’ll have to clean these lifeguard whistle options regularly to take advantage of all the hygienic properties it has to offer.

At the end of the day, you really can’t go wrong with either of these lifeguard whistles. Choose the one that makes the most sense for you, and don’t worry about having to spend too much money on either of them. An essential part of the lifeguard kit, this is a wise investment!
