can you let the thermometer just float around? Or does it have to be attached to the suction cup?

Hi, It does not have to be attached to the tank wall with the suction cup. Not sure why you would not do this? However, if it just floats I am not sure that you will get a very accurate temp reading due to the fact that the tip of the thermometer will be at surface level where the temp fluctuates the most.

I do remove the mat and hang it up between baths to let it dry. I have not noticed any suction cups becoming detached.....and I am not gentle when I remove it from the tub.

Yes, there are two ways use this, one is the suction cup with a dual band transducer, and the other is the wireless floating transducer, which can be tied to standard rod/ line and cast out.

It shows the temperature but you need to take it off for an accurate reading.

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

Yes by suction cup, but this is not the normal suction cup found on other holders. This suction part has a rubber adhesive ring on it to hold it in place on any surface. It's not a permanent ring so you can move it, but once in place it wont fall off. Pull the lever down to suck the air out for a complete seal. Other suction cups only works on window or they give you a plastic circle to put on your dash. The Dash Crab does not come with a plastic circle.

Mine did not come with suction cups. However, they aren't necessary. Mine pretty much stays in place.

Very sorry I missed this email. Yes you can have it on constantly. I leave a thermometer floating in the tank at all times and it is excellent at keeping a consistent water temperature.

There is a suction cup, but mine quit working after a couple months (The heater quit working the suction cups are just fine....)

Pretty much all temperature probes will have a clip so they don't fall out of your pocket even if they don't say so. Its on the back side of the unit.

Mine works great as a stand alone floating thermometer but has problems relaying information to the base unit. If I put them together to 'synch' they do, but once the floater goes back into the pool it stops communicating. This unit at least works better than the other brand I had before, but really doesn't do what I wanted or what it advertised.

Just a suction cup can be removed or left. However if left too long can fall off. I attach it to my gas tank on my motorcycle and remove and replace when I stop and before I get ready to go. Food, Rest etc.

I mounted mine inside the windshield using the suction cup that came with the camera. In very hot days, it falls, but generally it stays there.

Suction cup. I put it in a 2.6 gallon Fluval tank in the pump area so you don't see it.

I believe you can certainly remove the suction cup. That was also my thought when I first saw it. Then I decided to leave it as I could always remove it later. It really is very nice to keep the container firmly planted where you set it and I think you will be glad to have it. Its design of "leaning forward" I think might cause it to tip over without the suction, but again, try it your way to see what happens.

Thermometer is not adjustable, but would be out of calibration as soon as you heated again because of the bi-metal. If you don't want to be adjusting all the time go digital.

You do not have to secure it to the pool. Just put it in and it does not float.
