FLOATING ANIMAL THERMOMETER
Product Overview
Measures water temperature 7 inches below the surface to bypass ambient heat and give true readings.
Submerging a 7-inch probe beneath the surface, the Simplified Pools Floating Animal Thermometer delivers temperature readings across a 20°F to 120°F range (-10°C to 50°C). Constructed from shatter-resistant ABS plastic, it features a buoyant molded animal top and includes a 36-inch nylon tether to prevent it from drifting into your skimmer. The sealed, non-toxic alcohol-filled tube eliminates mercury hazards while providing clear dual-scale readings in pools and spas.

Benefits & What Makes It Different
Dual-Scale 20°F to 120°F Range
Displays temperature in both Fahrenheit (20°F–120°F) and Celsius (-10°C–50°C) with bold markers readable from pool deck level.
7-Inch Submerged Probe
Extends 7 inches below the waterline to sample circulating water rather than heat trapped solely at the surface layer.
36-Inch Tether Cord
Anchors securely to ladders, handrails, or coping brackets to keep the thermometer from lodging in the skimmer weir.
Compatibility
- Compatible with all pool surfaces including vinyl liners, fiberglass shells, and plaster finishes
- Resistant to standard sanitizer levels in chlorine, bromine, and saltwater pools
- Rated for hot tubs and spas with water temperatures up to 120°F
When To Use This
Pro Tip
Read the temperature line immediately after lifting the sensor out of the water; ambient air can shift the tube reading by several degrees within 15 seconds.
Common Questions & Instructions
How accurate is this floating pool thermometer and what range does it cover?
The thermometer measures from 20°F to 120°F (-10°C to 50°C) with an accuracy of ±2°F after sitting undisturbed in circulating water for at least 3 minutes.
Where should I tether a floating thermometer in my pool?
Anchor the 36-inch cord to a ladder or handrail midway along the pool. Avoid anchoring directly in front of the skimmer mouth, where fast-moving surface water can distort readings by 3°F to 5°F.
Can this floating animal thermometer be used in hot tubs running at 104°F?
Yes. The ABS housing and sealed sensor are rated up to 120°F (50°C), easily handling standard hot tub temperatures between 100°F and 104°F.
