  3. Placement:

    Place the floating pool thermometer in the water (e.g., swimming pool, bathtub, fish tank). Ensure the solar panel is exposed to sunlight for optimal charging. Position the Indoor Monitor within the wireless transmission range (up to 980 feet/300 meters) of the floating unit, ideally in a central location indoors.

  4. Synchronization:

    The Indoor Monitor should automatically receive data from the pool thermometer once both units are powered on and within range. Allow a few moments for the initial synchronization.

5. Operating Instructions

5.1 Indoor Monitor Display

The Indoor Monitor provides comprehensive information at a glance:

  • Local Time: Displays the current time.
  • Water Temperature: Shows the real-time temperature from the floating pool thermometer.
  • Indoor Temperature: Displays the ambient temperature at the Indoor Monitor's location.
  • Indoor Humidity: Shows the relative humidity at the Indoor Monitor's location.
  • Indoor Monitor's Battery Level: Indicates the remaining battery life of the Indoor Monitor.
  • Pool Thermometer's Battery Level: Indicates the remaining battery life of the floating unit.
  • Highest Water Temp (MAX): Shows the maximum water temperature recorded.
  • Lowest Water Temp (MIN): Shows the minimum water temperature recorded.
  • Water Temperature Comfort Level: An indicator (Cold, Comfort, Hot) based on the water temperature.

5.2 Switching Temperature Units (C°/F°)

To switch between Celsius (°C) and Fahrenheit (°F) temperature units, locate the dedicated button on the Indoor Monitor (refer to the device's physical buttons, usually labeled "C/F" or similar). Press this button to toggle the display units.

5.3 Multi-Thermometer Support

The Indoor Monitor is capable of displaying temperature readings from up to three separate INKBIRD pool thermometers. This is useful for monitoring multiple bodies of water (e.g., pool, hot tub, fish pond) from a single indoor unit.

6. Maintenance

  • Cleaning: Wipe both the floating thermometer and the Indoor Monitor with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
  • Solar Panel Care: Ensure the solar panel on the floating thermometer is kept clean and free of debris to maximize charging efficiency.
  • Battery Replacement: Replace the AAA batteries in the Indoor Monitor when the low battery indicator appears on the display.
  • Storage: If storing the device for an extended period, remove batteries from the Indoor Monitor and store both units in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
  • Water Quality: While the pool thermometer is IPX68 waterproof, it is generally recommended for fresh water applications. Some users have reported issues in saltwater pools; consult Inkbird support if you have a saltwater pool.
