Explore our precise and reliable wireless pool thermometers to remotely monitor your pool temperature, ensuring optimal water conditions for a safe and enjoyable experience. Ideal for swimming pools, ponds, hot tubs, and spas.
I recently purchased the Inkbird Smart Pool Thermometer Digital with Wi-Fi Gateway and have been using it for a few weeks. The installation process was reasonably easy, taking only a short amount of time to get everything up and running. Once installed, the thermometer performed exceptionally well. It reported accurate temperatures consistently, which is exactly what I was hoping for.
I really like the idea of wireless temperature monitoring for my saltwater pool and have bought a number of different brands in the last 4-5 years. None of the previous units have lasted more than 3-6 months during each summer and they all seem to eventually leak, corrode and then fail. I chose the INKBIRD model for two reasons; I have other INKBIRD products that have proven very reliable and this unit was half the cost of what I had spent previously.
I have used wireless pool thermometers for many years now. I have tried 3-4 brands. None of them lasted more than 2 seasons. It was always the same problems..the probe that floats in the pool leaks usually where the access is to replace the batteries. I tried this brand since it had a permanent rechargeable battery and no way to open it up. Sealed at the factory. I works great always accurate and super easy to use.
I waited to post this review after owning the product for over 3 months. I have had this item now in the pool, and the thermometer has been working flawlessly. I am able to see the pool temperature on the app as well as on the physical device inside my home. The pool unit is at least about 60 feet from the home device and it has never lost connection. The batteries are what I put initially and is still showing sufficient charge.
I live in a northern climate state and have had near misses with power failures or hot tub system malfunctions that very nearly ended in frozen jet lines on my hot tub, which would have been catastrophic. I bought this wireless temperature sensor and display unit to protect against that. It alarms if the spa temperature drops below a user set setpoint and it works like a champ. Would highly recommend this product and the Inkbird brand.
