Will this tell me the temp of the water in my spa?

I just tested it on a stream of water from my tap, turned to hot only. It regestered the temperature increase as the water coming out of the tap got hotter. Can't vouch for just how accurate it was (no baking thermometer handy), but it seemed pretty accurate. You have to be close to the water; maybe 3 or 4 inches away from the surface. Hope this helped.

Oh, most certainly the device will measure your spa temp. I have a very large skylight that heats the inside of our home and I measure the temp of the hot air trapped in the skylights with the Raytek by aming at the glass itself. Works very well. This is a very nice piece of equipment for almost any application where you want to know the temp. Jon

Maybe not a shower temp but water yes. I say no on the shower because the shower spray is not solid and I think it will also read the temp of the wall behind the shower. Kind of give you a mix of the two. I'm a apt manager. Use it to measure fridge and freezer temps, heater outlet temp in winter and A/C temp in summer plus lots of other things. I didn't think I'd use it, but after the first day of owning it I have found I use it all the time for different things. Love it, it's a great toy.

Certainly. It will read the surrounding temperature -- in air, in water, in bread or wherever else. The one I have is quite accurate. It reads 212 degrees F in boiling distilled water at about a sea level elevation.

As long as it is in water yes. It is not prepared to measure air temperature.

Yes it does. I've used it more often to prepare the room for my son's bath than I've used it to check his temperature. So far, I think it seems to take accurate readings.

No, I don't think so. It will measure your target temp at boiling but once you set the low temp you will already be over it when you hit start. I just don't think it will do that. I could be wrong. It has only one setting.

J, yes this unit will give temperature readings on pipes. I am certain you will find it a useful instrument to give instantaneous temps.

If understanding your question whether or not you control water temp with this device, the answer is no. The temp control is still determined by your main shower controls.

I use it to monitor the temp and check if there is water in a room that is unheated - I have seen it down as low as 25 degrees. It works well.

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

It shows the actual temperature (in celcius). You have to go through the menu to see the set point.

most likely you'll get the glass surface temperature if the beamis focused on the glass surface. you'll need to sight down directly on the liquid to get a better sense of its temperature (and it'll be a near surface measurement, not of the bulk average.)

When I filled my spa, it took around 28-30 hours to get it to 104. Thats with the surrounding area at 45-50F degrees. The water started out at 54F degrees also, so roughly around 1-2 degrees per hour

Yes, but the readings will be all over the place, as it reads temp at the surface not below. You have different amounts of blood flow and also evaporation to deal with.

Yes,This product can tell you the temperature of anything the laser touches. Like flame, wood, air vents, surface of a pan, the outside of a pork shoulder, it has a lot of uses.

Yes this should work fine since you have sufficient time window to obtain reading. I have used it to get reading of water temperature coming out of faucet and soups etc. Also used it for correct water temperature for yeast.

No , whatever the water temperature is where it is, that will be the water temperature.
