Swimming Pool Thermometer

Looking for a swimming pool thermometer?  A swimming pool thermometer is an important addition to any pool, you always need to know just how warm or how cool the water is before you go and take a dip in it.  Most of the time when you first take a dip in the pool the water is cold, but you don’t want it to be uncomfortably so.  This is why it’s a good idea to get a hold of and install a swimming pool thermometer before you get into your swimming trunks for a dip.

Now there are many a swimming pool thermometer out there to choose from and they vary in price, you don’t want to get one that isn’t accurate or doesn’t stand up to abuse, so here’s a list of a few you might want to check out:

1.  Intex Shark Thermometer from Swimline.

Here’s a cute little thermometer which has a rubber shark on the top of it.  It’s great as it floats around on top of the pool or in a hot tub and it reads accurately which is often a problem with these types of things, many are off by 2-5 degrees.

Little kids will also enjoy these as well.  This one only costs $5.80 on Amazon.

2.  Combo Sink/Float Thermometer

Here’s a thermometer which can either float or sink depending on what you want it to do.  It is clear and easy to read and comes with a sticky pad which allows you to stick it to the side of your pool.  There is even a string attachment with this which makes it easy to tell where it is at all times.  You can get this one for $8.76, which is also pretty cheap.

3.  Dolphin Swimming Pool Thermometer

This one is very much like the Shark thermometer mentioned earlier, except that on the top of it there is a dolphin instead of a shark.  It’s made of plastic and shows you the temperature in both Fahrenheit and Celsius.  This one can be found at your local Target.

Now if you are looking for a swimming pool thermometer, there are plenty of other ones out there to check out, but these ones are definite winners.  The main thing you’ll be concerned about is the accuracy of the readings and unfortunately by the time you figure out how accurate one is it’s too late, that’s why it’s best to go off of reviews that you read online.
