Will this ve sutable for reading pool water temps?

Yes, it would work for that application, but it would not be precise. However, it would likely be repeatable. Thermocouples have a poor signal to noise ratio below 150F. A better option would be an RTD (Resistance Temperature Detector) sensor. They are designed to operate in the temperature range of a swimming pool. If you want to use a t/c (thermocouple) for a particular reason, choose a "type J" or a "type E" rather than the "type K" that comes with this device. A type-J has twice the sensitivity of a type-K.

I've heard of people calibrating it with boiling water, so it may work for what you want. I'd be careful to not get the plug end of the thermocouple or the thermometer wet though.

No Tom. It takes almost instant readings of thermal temps, not measurements. I do have an instrument that reads dustances & it dies chirp. This does not.

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

No.. if you want temp. readings, this meter is not for you. Otherwise good sturdy multi-meter.

No. It reads the "black body" radiation from the first surface it encounters. I presume your cover is insulated so the temp measured would be that of the outside layer of the insulation. Use a temperature probe in your scupper that has a wire to the readout like they do for barbecues. Those even allow you to set alarms for over/under temp situations. Good luck!

You will most likely need an upgrade on the probe wire which will is specially designed for that kind of temperature. The device itself will do just fine.

Certainly. It will read the surrounding temperature -- in air, in water, in bread or wherever else. Just embed the temperature sensor (it's not really a "probe") deep inside the bread. The one I have is quite accurate. It reads 212 degrees F in boiling distilled water at about a sea level elevation.

The transducer is designed to be in the water near the surface and although others said they had mounted them inside kayaks in "marine goop" I'm not sure readings are accurate.......it's not designed for through hull sounding. Not sure if it'll give a temp reading out of the water.....a simple and inexpensive pool thermometer would do the trick.

I bought this as a gift and did plenty of research into the same question and the answer I found was yes, this prob should, according to the manufacturer, read two different temperatures at once.

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.
1778265
Yes. The pool store will be able to tell you the chemicals needed to set up and maintain your pool. Try to get your water sample from at least 18 inches below the water surface. This will help get a more accurate reading.

Yes, according to packet. Immerse tip in boiling water and adjust reading to 212 degrees F.

No, it should be calibrated. Make sure you have it set to read salinity. The pool water should read around 0.3 percent, or 3 ppt or 3000 ppm. My chlorinator also reads the amount of salt and it agrees well with this instrument.

Yes. It has a temperature mode and includes a bead probe. It may be worthwhile to pick up the thermocouple adapter as well.

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.

It will work. Device detects water in fluid. Very good result in various cases

Talked to tech-support and they said yes, this unit will regulate the water temperature to the SET-temp. and ultimately shut off if incoming temp is already at or above the SET-temp. unrelated, I am experiencing fluctuations in the output temperature; (with stable input temperature) it may be bad sensors, so this still needs to be figured out
