DELUXE SERIES FLOATING THERMOMETER W/ CORD
Product Overview
A weighted, dual-scale floating thermometer that monitors swimming temperature without drifting into skimmer baskets.
Manufactured under the PoolStyle line, this Deluxe Series floating thermometer features a calibrated liquid tube reading from 20°F to 120°F (-10°C to 50°C). Its molded, weighted ballast positions the temperature bulb roughly 6 inches beneath the surface to prevent false highs from sun-warmed top water, while the integrated 3-foot tether secures directly to a ladder or handrail.

Benefits & What Makes It Different
Dual-Scale 20°F to 120°F Display
Features high-contrast graduation marks displaying -10°C to 50°C and 20°F to 120°F for quick reading from the pool deck.
3-Foot Braided Anchor Tether
Secures directly to ladders, rails, or coping eyes to stop the unit from being pulled into skimmer throats or filtration inlets.
Sub-Surface Weighted Ballast
Maintains upright floatation so the sensing bulb sits 6 inches deep, bypassing surface heat distortion caused by direct sunlight.
Compatibility
- Compatible with in-ground and above-ground swimming pools
- Safe for plaster, vinyl liner, fiberglass, and acrylic spa surfaces
- Functions in both saltwater and traditional chlorine sanitizing systems
When To Use This
Pro Tip
Always anchor the thermometer near a return jet with active circulation; letting it sit stationary in uncirculated, direct-sun surface water can read 3°F to 5°F higher than actual pool volume.
Common Questions & Instructions
What temperature range does this floating thermometer measure?
The dual-scale tube measures water temperatures between 20°F and 120°F (-10°C and 50°C) with 2-degree gradient hash lines, offering accurate readings for both unheated pools and high-temperature hot tubs.
How long is the included tether cord and where should it attach?
The nylon tether measures approximately 36 inches (3 feet) long. Tie it to a return-line handrail, ladder rung, or perimeter eyelet away from skimmer intake currents so it reads open circulation rather than suction dead zones.
Why does water temperature matter for chemical dosing and salt systems?
Salt chlorine generators automatically shut down when water drops below 50°F to 60°F to preserve electrolytic plates. Accurate tracking also allows you to calculate the Langelier Saturation Index (LSI), where every 10°F change shifts water balance by roughly 0.1 pH equivalent.
