BI do not know if the transmitter is waterproof, but if you call Dogtra on Monday they will tell you if it is waterproof. Battery is good for approx. 2 yrs...

Yes, it is waterproof. Battery life depends on usage, but should last a couple of years. The batteries are replaceable.

I mounted my transmitter under the lip on the side panels. Seems to work for me. As far as I know it is waterproof.

No, the transmitter does not turn off. I ended up taking the battery out each time...such a pain.

Mine says its waterproof although I haven't really dared to try it out. This product is amazing- life changing!! 3 1/2 years of barking and finally, we have silence!!

I just hooked mine up yesterday, and so far so good as far as tuning, static, signal strength etc... I'm interested in battery life because I have mine set up about 50 feet from the transmitter, on the back side of my pool where I have my grills and hammock. It used to be that I had to crank up the speakers on the patio in order to hear anything out past the pool. This naturally caused issues with my wife, especially when Saxon, Rush, Judas Priest etc. "shuffled" into play.I just hope that I don't have to replace batteries every week!

It is a radio transmitter that works great! I get a range of 100 ft easy! Just make sure you turn them off when done or next time you will have dead batteries.

Yes, I found that it is waterproof. I used it during a very rainy weekend and it was great.

I do not know if it is waterproof (I have not worn it in the pool or shower), but I have worn it in the rain on many, many runs, and have sweated all over it (sorry, not trying to be gross, just a fact of running) and I have never noticed any problems with it. I really recommend this unit as an inexpensive alternative to the other GPS watches out there.

I don't think it is waterproof but I have used both parts of the unit outside with no problems.

My husband uses it just about daily when he swims laps. It is definitely waterproof. He has had problems in the past with this product but they seem to have been mostly with the connection point of the earbuds to the unit. The current unit and earbuds have been working well.

Btw these are rechargeable battery packs only. Comes with battery and charger. For the transmitter.

Ignore answer #1. Item is a receiver, not a transmitter. Please don't comment if you're not certain of what you're saying.

Yeah, I have both the transmitter and receiver and use them together all the time. 30 ft. Limit before it disconnects. Both contain a rechargeable battery. USB charger.

Thank you for your question! As long as the battery, correction button cap and metal contact points are all tightly in place, this receiver collar is fully waterproof.

I don't use mine very often, I'm 5 minutes from my job & I only use it in my car while I'm traveling, so the battery seems to last fairly long. But I have accidentally left the transmitter on & it'll be dead the next time I go to use it, obviously.
