Most notification appliances were Siemens MBDC-10 motor bells (10" gong). The change rooms, meeting rooms, and some hallways had Siemens MBDC-6 motor bells (6" gong). In the pool's men's locker room, there was a Wheelock MB-G6-24 motor bell (6" gong), the only device left from the previous system. It was installed prior to 2006. There was one deficiency replacement; a Siemens SFM24-10A motor bell (10" gong) by the splash area in the pool area, which replaced a rusted-out MBDC-10 in 2015.
