Unreliable February 24, 2007
Failed after approximately 6 months. Bad seal allows water into device. My experience with this manufacturer is consistently poor.....only one of four devices worked consistently. Items returned for repair were returned still broken.....twice.

Not at all Waterproof August 15, 2006
Amazon Verified Purchase
I bought a pair of these probes, one for the pool and another for the spa. They transmitted well before leaking water and shorting out within 24 hours of operation. Took them out of the pool and let them dry out and they seem OK. I contacted the seller and they suggested using a sealer on all the seams and joints of the float. After doing so one of them lasted about 48 hours before failing (once again, when dried out it came back to life). I have written the manufacturer and they have not responded to me as of yet. I could not recommend these items to anyone.

Product LEAKS so it fails October 31, 2007
I have purchased two of these units and they both have failed. They leak and that is what the problem is with this unit. I am going to go back to the thermometer probe. Unfortunately, the wire floats inside a spa or pool but it works because there is nothing to leak. Save your money don't buy this product.

Not waterproof. Worked well for 2 years, then corrosion and LCD problems, then it just died.

Take precautions
It's a really nice product and worked very well for close to a year.
Then, as it seems to happen with others - it leaked and it dies. Read more

Oregon Scientific John Deere Waterproof Floating Thermometer. This item only works as a floating pool thermometer(until it leaks as I have been warned it will). Read more

Leaked, sank, pure junk
This is the worst item I have every bought at amazon. The leak, short out and sink. I have gone though several.

I CAN NOT recommend this item to anyone.
