Description
Overview
The Aerosol Horn gives a starter or safety officer a loud, unmistakable signal without a starting pistol or clapper. Press the head on the 380 ml can and the sound reaches up to 1500 metres, enough to cover a lake, harbour course or full athletics track.
It is the simplest option in our horns range: no batteries, no charging and nothing to pump. When the can empties, fit an Aerosol Horn Refill and keep going.
Key benefits
- Reaches up to 1500 metres, so a start or recall carries across open water.
- No CFC emissions from the ozone-friendly propellant.
- Non-flammable, so it suits gear sheds and rescue craft.
- Replaceable 380 ml can means you keep the head and only buy refills.
- Used by sporting clubs, schools and industry as a signalling tool.
Who it's for
Swim clubs, surf and rowing groups, sailing clubs and schools running water-based events where a whistle will not be heard. It also works as the start signal for school athletics days and cross-country, and as an emergency recall on the beach or lake.
If your club would rather not buy cans at all, the rechargeable Ecoblast Air Horn & Mini Pump is the alternative in our timing & megaphones range.
Care, safety and set-up
Store the can upright in the gear bag and keep a spare on hand for long regattas. When the can runs low, unscrew the head and fit a new 380 ml refill. Ships from stock with our 12-month guarantee.
Frequently asked questions
Can I use this instead of a starting pistol?
Yes. It gives a loud, clear signal that suits swimming sports, athletics starts and regattas without the paperwork of a pistol.
Can I buy replacement cans?
Yes. The Aerosol Horn Refill (C874) is the matching 380 ml can and is listed separately.
Is it safe to store in a boat or gear shed?
The propellant is non-flammable and has no CFC emissions, which is why it is used by clubs, schools and industry.
