Answer This Question

There are frequency selections on each unit. They must both be on the same frequency selection to work. Also you may have to use fresh batteries.

      purchased mine last summer, it never worked right and didn't last a month. Waste of money, do not buy this item.

      By|May 6, 2023

        My Thermometer stopped working all together after a few weeks.... the company said they would give me credit that I NEVER received!!! Home Depot stood behind the junk Thermometer and gave me a store credit.

        By|May 6, 2023

          I get both HH and LL when the batteries are first inserted. This is where the HIGH and LOW temps live after a short amount of time. Mine now shows 83 where the HH was just minutes after inserting batteries. And yes, that is water inside of a 6 month old unit :-(

            $30.

            By|May 4, 2023

              The units are a fair price if you can get more than five or six months out of them

                    Have they improved it since last year or is it still garbage

                    Answer This Question

                    No. It has not improved at all. I don't know why we keep buying it, hoping it was a mistake on our part. But we stupidly bought it for 3 times. I want to return it and get my money back. Water always leaks into the battery compartment and may affect the PH level of our water for all I know. The screen always gets messed up and will always give a very high ready even when we've taken it inside. This was money down the drain. The old fashioned thermometer was more reliable but I have to go it and check it.

                      Still garbage. There are cleary ways to fix the problem the OEM and the vendor don't care.

                        I have had no water intrusion issues, but the batteries only last 6 weeks. Would be nice if display on the transmitter worked with pushing a button....would extend battery life IMO. I understand it cannot shutdown completely, due to the wireless transmitter....but replacing batteries every 6 weeks is a little unacceptable....

                            Bought one this spring, and it leaked within 90 days. But it is likely from last years stock.

                              Yes, these are junk. One trick I will share that has gotten mine to last for years. Use a Foodsaver to vaccum seal it in the bag. You will not get an accurate reading any more, + or - 5 degrees, but if using for a hot tub, this will prolong the life.

                                  It's still junk, bought a new one just a couple months ago and it's already failed - it isn't leaking but it says my outside pool is at 156F :D I'm on my 3rd one in a year, I'm taking out the extended warranty on the next one just for fun :)

                                    Still leaks, even if you use the grease for pool o-rings on this devices o-ring. Pretty sure it leaks from the 5 hidden screws on top or from the blue seal

                                        The temperature range for this unit is 32°-158°F; 0°-70°C.

                                          I had it in a Jacuzzi at 105 degrees F. However, both units that I purchased failed within 6 months because the sensor unit leaked. I don't think the seal can withstand hot water and it gets humidity inside. The temperature display fogs up and the electronics corrode.

                                                Used it in my SPA set at 104F and it worked for a while. My experience which these units is better in swimming pool than SPA. Given the materials of construction and overall quality I would not recommend it services above 100F.

                                                  It will NOT connect with the new MyAcurite firmware update on the bridges. The device is not supported by Acurite when connecting to their bridges. They don't even sell this on their website anymore because it's so prone with issues.

                                                          Honestly - it's not suitable for any pool. In my experience, it leaks horribly around the LCD window and will likely fail within a month or two of having been outside. I've purchased two of them and experienced the same problem with both. There is *no* water seal between the LCD and the clear window. Rain and pool water splash will combine to fill the unit with moisture over time.

                                                            Mine did that too - condensation in LCD, found it was not the top plastic LCD cover that leaked, it was water getting in past the rubber seal in the base screw connection causing the condensation in the LCD from water inside the unit. Got some plumber's silicon faucet grease, coated the rubber seal liberally, and no more leaking. Now I use the silicon grease on my chlorine feeder and pump strainer basket lid rubber seals as well. Keeps the seals in place, and from drying out, and makes a nice tight but easy to unscrew waterproof connection.

                                                                          By|May 3, 2023

                                                                                I have already recommended this to my hot tub retailer as a product they should be carrying in their store. Initially the thermometer registered precisely the same as the display on my hot tub but now has started registering a few degrees cooler. Also, moisture seems to be forming inside the display on the floating sensor so time will tell on that issue. The product definitely provides peace-of-mind knowing the heater is working properly when the outside temperature is -20 degrees or colder and the "freeze warning" allows time to react before costly damage occurs.

Brought it in, dried it out, put it back in the hot tub. It worked again for a few weeks started failing again. This unit was not good quality Reading shows me that my hot tub is 87 degrees, My tub is at 103. No audible alarm to set if temp goes down makes this unit a poor choice. I will return it.

It does everything I has hope it would do as a wireless thermometer. It sure is nice not hunting down the little bobber thermometer to find out what the pool water temperature is. It has a low enough profile that my solar cover slide right over with out problem. And the unit is large enough that it doesn't get lost in the skimmer.

The unit still transmits to the remote but does not read out properly. Off I go to find another option. Man, I really hoped this would work because it was accurate until it died!

Highly recommend.

However, it may have given up the ghost today, I'm still working on getting the signal to read between Main display and Water Temp sensor unit. Here's my 5 year story: • I do leave the Water unit in the pool year round... In SoCal we get to use the spa, if not pool year round. • The water unit display did fade almost completely away between year 2 and 3, but the unit has continued to deliver data to the Main unit (at least until today - I changed batteries in both as they were getting weak, and the units are not talking now... oh, yes I have changed the batteries before, they did not last 5 years!) • The colors (blue and black) on both units have faded, but at least for the Water sensor, that should be expected. • I did have to find a rubber plug that would fit on the Water sensor a couple years ago, as one weathered, cracked and would not stay in. That may have been the beginning of the cause of display unit fading out. • When I have replaced batteries, I have always used a bit of Super Lube or Magic Lube on the gasket to seal the bottom cover ... and I did start that from day 1. • If I can't fix it... I will be down to my local HD to buy my 2nd unit... Website says there's 3 in stock.

Covered all areas that may allow moisture in with silicon sealant. Well the pool display fogged up inside the unit. So I opened it up and placed it in a dehydrator overnight. No help, stilled fogged up. Well I could live with that. In indoor display is what I needed to monitor my hot tub during freezing weather. This worked OK for about a month. Then I noticed the temperature starting reading 5-6 degs below the Spa setting. Not good. SO not wanting to throw it all out, I opened the pool unit, took all the electronic and battery parts out. Had a Acu-Rite outside temp unit, installed it in the housing and putt it back in the spa. With it’s inside display in worked.

Manufacturer's warranty information is unavailable, and attempts to contact them have failed. The real temperature was confirmed with manual thermometers. Acurite shows 99 when the tub is actually 104. Hoped this unit would be better than those cheap units from China that only last a month or two. This one is warrantied for a year but what good is that when the manufacturer won't respond? Guess I will have the wrong temperature for a year. I notice that Acurite thermometers in general are inaccurate. My wireless Indoor/outdoor thermometer is typically 5 degrees wrong.
