4. Secure the Thermometer: Attach the other end of the fastening rope to a secure point on the edge of your pool. This prevents the thermometer from drifting away or being pulled into filters.
5. Allow for Stabilization: Allow the thermometer to float in the water for at least 5-10 minutes to ensure it accurately reflects the water temperature.

4. Operating Instructions

The TFA Neptune Swimming Pool Thermometer is designed for simple and direct temperature reading.

1. Reading the Temperature: Observe the red liquid column within the "Optima" capillary. The top of the liquid column indicates the current water temperature on the Celsius scale.
2. Optimal Viewing: For the most accurate reading, ensure the thermometer is floating freely and is not obstructed. The large, clear markings are designed for easy visibility from a distance.
3. Temperature Range: The thermometer measures temperatures between 0°C and +45°C.

5. Maintenance

To ensure the longevity and accuracy of your TFA Neptune Swimming Pool Thermometer, follow these simple maintenance guidelines:

• Cleaning: Periodically wipe the thermometer clean with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents, as these can damage the plastic and markings.
• Storage: During off-season or when the pool is not in use for extended periods, remove the thermometer from the water. Clean it thoroughly and store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
• Inspection: Regularly inspect the thermometer for any signs of damage, such as cracks in the plastic or fading of the temperature scale. Ensure the fastening rope is in good condition.

6. Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues with your TFA Neptune Swimming Pool Thermometer, consider the following:

• Inaccurate Reading:
  • Ensure the thermometer has been submerged in the water for at least 5-10 minutes to stabilize.
  • Verify that the thermometer is floating freely and not touching the pool walls or bottom, which could affect the reading.
  • Check for any visible damage to the capillary tube.
• Thermometer Drifting:
  • Ensure the fastening rope is securely attached to both the thermometer and a fixed point on the pool edge.
  • Check the rope for wear or damage.
