Professionally installed (I understand) some years ago, but perhaps not very well.
I quite agree that I'd prefer not to be involved, but do a lot of electrical work for the site and difficult to just say I can't help. Ideally I'd say get their pool company to specify what is needed, except they don't currently have one, just a plumber plus non-technical maintenance staff.
Edit: The more I think about this, perhaps I can have the site call a UPS supplier and give them the pump specs, then they get said UPS supplier to quote for a suitable model. At least then if the UPS proves insufficient, it won't be my problem!
The both pools and spa where I work both have an alarm that also turns the pumps off and need to be manually reset, both are well sign posted, so I'm guessing it's a requirement for at least holiday lets. The spa and one pool I was directed to wire as such.
You could change the alarm button to a different type like push to break and twist to reset type ones, which would enable the pumps etc to restart after a power outage.
I wouldn't expect for airlocks to be a problem, as ours are often emptied of water when cleaning filters or using the vacuum pipe.
Another option is to use SMS device for monitoring and to maybe have remote reset.
The last thing I would be doing is using UPS i would be spending the money on repairing the leaky pipes.

Pool Outlets
In recent years there have been fatal accidents where persons, often young
children, have become trapped by the pressure on a pool outlet. It is important
that:
Where possible, at least two outlets, spaced a minimum of two metres
Apart should be provided to the suction line.
Outlet covers are secure, kept in good condition and tamper-proof.
Outlet covers are visually checked daily. On a regular basis, someone should
Also dive to carry out a more thorough check.
Consideration should also be given to providing an emergency stop button that
shuts down circulation pumps and associated equipment. The most serious
accidents occur with pools with only one outlet. If you have one outlet you
must seek the advice of a pool specialist on methods that can reduce the risk of
entrapment.
Pool Grilles
Any grille openings in the pool must be designed to prevent limbs and fingers
getting trapped. The size of any aperture should not exceed 8 mm, if this
dimension is exceeded, you should obtain advice on replacing the grille
