 Take precautions July 16, 2008
Jerry Barker (Florida)
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.
The guy who sealed it when he bought it had the right idea.
I think I will buy another and silicon it up before I drop it in next time.

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). You will have to pick it up and look at it to see the pool temperature. It does not transmit the pool temperature to ANY base stations - and we bought 3 all 433 MHz - each one more complicated than the last one. E-mails to Amazon and to Oregon Scientific for help as to which base station specifically to buy, go unanswered. Customer contact is nil.
WaterProof not waterproof January 12, 2008

The unit did not communicate well and many found that it leaked after a few months. Returned it before that could be determined.

The Seals are Ridiculous November 6, 2007
TRW (Southern Calif.)
I have had 2 of these Oregon Scientific Remote Waterproof Floating Thermometers. They work really well until, as others have noted, they leak, corrode and quit. My first lasted over 6 months; the second about 3 weeks.
The seal designs are awful. The main housing seal should be an oring. The 4 screws that hold the 2 halves of the housing together should be placed outside of the main housing seal so they wouldn't have to be sealed. The screw seals now simply will leak. I've emailed Oregon Scientific but have had no response. What a disappointing product; it could be so good.
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.
