Mine appears to be replaceable, which I intend to do when the time comes. https://intexcorp.com/replacement-parts/12447e-32ft-x-16ft-x-52in-rectangular-ultra-frame-pool-liner/

The last swim of season 4 was on 15 September. Last winter, we watched crows stand on the edge of the pool and tear through the original Intex 10757 Pool Cover, ruining it. 😡🐦‍⬛ I suppose three winters was a pretty good run, but it cost less than that $87 MSRP to cover it with 12-mil...

Sadly, mine looks like that now, too, despite the interior remaining sealed and dry. :( Since it lasted only one year (about two months longer than the original AA batteries), and since Wi-Fi connectivity required my outdoor access point to be at max power (blasting neighbors in that direction)...

This looks like a great option, too!

Up to "1/4 Mile Open-Air Range" and "200 devices per hub" is amazing! Thanks for the tip. (y) https://www.amazon.com/YoLink-Weatherproof-Temperature-Sensor-Required/dp/B0BJJVD8VQ

Very nice! Can the chart also include air temp, humidity, wind, etc.?

Integration with other Ambient Weather devices presumably enables tracking of pool temp vs. air temp, humidity, and wind among other relevant factors. Super slick!

It's the IBS-P02R-O. More info in the other thread: Something flew off with the one in the pond, which was tethered!

Thank you! Works great. (y)

Lightning struck a tree in our pasture and fried (among many other things) the Intex pump's GFCI plug and controller board, but this helpful post and schematic restored service prompty! No functionality has been lost, as the pump was controlled by an external timer anyway. 😥

The pool survived a third winter, and thanks to the early heat wave, season four has begun!

This works perfectly for my Intex (I replace the sock each season):

June wasn't a great pool month due to drifting smoke from the Canadian wildfires, but July is making up for it! Nothing really to report other than replacing the failed Intex pressure gauge with a better one using fittings that orient it for easier viewing given how my filter is positioned...

...but the bottom will not! Eliminating wrinkles is difficult after filling more than an inch or two.
