I just bought this model of Carbon Monoxide Detector, because it plugs right into the wall, so couldn't be any easier than that... : )
I like the battery back up, too, since, God Forbid something should happen, in an earthquake or other cause for the power going out, your battery back up will take over, and you and your lovely family will all be just that much safer : )
I had no idea you needed a Carbon Dioxide Detector in the pool area - make sure you have one, if you have a pool, and, frankly, if these hotels don't have a mandate to have their own Carbon Monoxide Detectors, I think it would be a safe practice to bring one with you, on vacation, or when you're on the road, plug it in, or just have it in your suitcase, right? Something to think about, when I would never have thought of that, before - and I think we might've stayed at that Quality Inn, in Michigan... will have a look at the map, it looks so familiar...
Better Safe Than Sorry - Of all the safety measures we take, even when we're travelling, I never would have thought of bringing along a working Carbon Monoxide Detector, but now I will - I would always rather be on the safe side.... and keep my children safe, too - but, seriously, I have never, ever, thought of the pool as a problem area - not even a little bit - maybe is a good idea to make sure the windows or doors are open in a pool area, too, especially at a hotel - wow, I just had no idea, and I thought I was up on all of this... so scary, and so sad...
Oh My Goodness, I feel heart sick for all those people in the pool area of the hotel - Carbon Monoxide Poisoning is no joke, is fast and undetectable by humans, we need the Carbon Monoxide Detectors in all these rooms - but I didn't know about the pool area - I'm shocked and so saddened. Love and Prayers to the poor little boy and his family and friends... preventable, and so sad
