Solar Pool Heat ReaderThe solar pool heat thermometer is quite simply a floating waterproof thermometer. It works on the same principal as other solar pool and garden solar gadgets. The device is small and light weight, so even if it becomes a projectile toy for your children it is unlikely to cause injury.
The solar panel on the front of the unit charges the battery throughout the daylight hours. The digital thermometer runs off the battery. The LCD display of the thermometer draws almost no current from the battery so it should function continuously throughout the day or night.How Useful Is It?If you want to be able to see the water temperature at a glance and can't stop to dip your toe in, then this device will serve some function. Apart from that it's really just a bit of a novelty. It's not able to be connected to any heating system for the pool. Any decent pool heating system will have a thermostat built in anyway. If you buy a device like this the advice is the same as always: check the warranty first and keep your receipt in case you need to return it.
