Can this be used to read a swimming pool temperature?

I used to check tap temp. Accurate. Fluid surface temps do vary though. Very accurate on everything else. Good value.

Yes it can. Instructions are on the card it comes on. Put in glass of crushed ice & water. Wait for stable reading. Press & hold the D-H button for 8 seconds. CAL will be displayed for 2 seconds ans calibration for 32 degrees is done.

I used the meter to measure the salinity of a swimming pool that had a great deal less salt than a saltwater aquarium and it worked just fine. I don't see why it wouldn't work for an aquarium.

Yes you can. You can even view the external temperature but I think that is taken from whatever the temperature report in your zip code is at the moment. I use this for my cottage.

Yes, this could be used as a thermometer display. When below 100F it shows down to the tenths place. Just wire up 3 and 4 to 120v ac, connect the probe to 5 and 6, and leave terminals 1 and 2 disconnected.

No, but if you put it in something watertight it should still work as long as the ambient tempertaure inside the container is the same as the outside. Not certain how that would effect how quickly the temperature in the container would change to track the outside ( of the container) ambient temperature. It is just a simple battery powered temperature sensor

Don't think so, the temperature of the water on the input side may determine the output temp. My water is around 55 degrees and i have seem temps close to 140 but thats the highest

Not really. It's most useful for chlorine levels that are in the goal range for a pool. It does give a rough estimate of PH and CYA (a pool thing) content. Doesn't test for bacteria etc, and not even that precise at what it does measure.

Yes. We put one on the outside of our kitchen window so that we can read the outside temperature before we go out of the house. It works.

Don,t see why not, temp is temp. Inside the probe is a thermpcouple, that sendstiny amounts of electricity to the meter which is read in degs. But keep it feom gettingwet where the wire comes out of the probe.

Absolutely yes! As long as the laser beam can touch the water (or any liquid), it will measure the temperature.

Yes, you can use it to measure liquid temperatures. I use mine to measure fudge temps when I am making fudge, and jam temps also. To determine the accuracy of yours, boil a pan of water. When it is boiling vigorously, place the tip of the probe into the water (not touching the pan) and it should read 212 degrees. Use the difference as a correction factor when measuring your liquids.

I agree with David, invest in a better tach for your application unless you're always close to shore. This (and similar items) is NOT a high quality precision product. It's a cheap solution to track non-critical service revs. Besides, I would highly doubt the readout would be bright enough on the water based on mine.

Yes, it works great for it too. I actually use this to check the temperature of my aquariums. It's as accurate as the glass floating thermometers that I used to use. I can get a good reading from just pointing it at the front of the aquarium or at the open top.I have also looked at shower temperatures with spraying water. It works very well and gets a steady reading from about two feet away. I now know my prefered shower temperature is exactly 95 degrees...

It can't read thermocouple inputs, only voltage for analog. You can use a thermocouple transmitter to convert to a 4-20 mA signal it can read, though you are probably better off purchasing a DAQ that accepts thermocouple inputs. Measurement computing sells those too.

It can only read surface temperatures. For meat you would need a probe type thermometer.

It not a dumb question I had the same one. But sadly no it will not read a human body temperature I use mine for a cat toy now lol
