Well thank you so much. Very helpful.

So... Do I keep it stored in a solution of some sort? How long do I let it sit in the pool water to get an accurate reading? How often are these things supposed to be calibrated?

Yes that's it, I did buy it from TFT .

Do you keep it in a solution to store it?

Thank you all for your comments.

Not sure what the brand is, it doesn't say. The back of the meter has CE embossed on it. Here is a picture.

Merry Christmas! Update. I heated the entire pool during the day with the gas heater from 64 degrees to 80 degrees in about 8 hours. We have been using the solar cover over the spa when we want to use the spa and it has substantially cut down on the amount of time it takes to heat just the...

Hi Tim, here we are almost 2 years after this post. Finally moved into our home about 2 months ago. We did both as well. My water temp does get into the 60's at night. During the day, without heating anything, the water temp is about 74. Haven't even tried to heat the entire pool yet as we...

Hi all. So I thought I would bring a little closure to this post. My pool builder came to look at my pool situation. He said my spa is 1,700 gallons. He told me it is larger than most and will take a while to heat the spa. He said to expect about 1 degree every 3 minutes. So to go from 60...
