Setup

1. Unpack: Carefully remove the thermometer from its packaging.
2. Initial Charge: Place the thermometer in direct sunlight for at least 6-8 hours before first use. This allows the internal battery to charge sufficiently for the LED light function.
3. Placement: Gently place the thermometer into your pool or spa. Ensure it floats freely and is not obstructed by other pool accessories or walls.

Operating Instructions

The Pureline Pink Flamingo Floating Solar Thermometer operates automatically once placed in water and exposed to sunlight.

• Temperature Reading: The thermometer provides accurate water temperature readings between 30°F and 140°F (approximately -1°C to 60°C). To read the temperature, simply observe the red indicator line on the scale visible through the clear tube.
• Solar Charging: The integrated solar panel, located on the flamingo's back, charges the internal battery during daylight hours.
• Nighttime Illumination: As ambient light diminishes, the built-in sensor activates the soft pink LED light, causing the flamingo to glow. This feature typically provides several hours of illumination after dark, depending on the duration and intensity of daytime charging.

Maintenance

• Cleaning: Periodically wipe the thermometer's surface, especially the solar panel and the clear temperature tube, with a soft, damp cloth to remove dirt, debris, or mineral deposits. This ensures optimal solar charging and clear temperature readings.
• Storage: During off-season or extended periods of non-use, clean the thermometer thoroughly and store it in a dry, shaded location.
• Chemical Exposure: While designed for pool environments, prolonged exposure to harsh chemicals or extreme pH levels may affect the product's lifespan. Rinse with fresh water if exposed to high concentrations of chemicals.

Troubleshooting

• LED Light Not Glowing:
  • Ensure the solar panel has received sufficient direct sunlight for charging (at least 6-8 hours).
  • Check if the solar panel is clean and free from obstructions.
  • Verify that it is dark enough for the light sensor to activate the LED.
• Inaccurate Temperature Reading:
  • Ensure the thermometer is fully submerged in the water to the appropriate level for accurate measurement.
  • Allow sufficient time (at least 5-10 minutes) for the thermometer to stabilize to the water temperature.
  • Clean the thermometer tube to ensure clear visibility of the temperature scale.
• Thermometer Not Floating Correctly:
  • Check for any damage to the floatation components.
  • Ensure no heavy debris has accumulated on the device.
