Hello all! I am new to the forum and have a question for you pool experts. I am looking for some kind of unit that will measure the temperature and (if possible) the water level of my indoor pool. I want the unit to send me an email if the pool gets below a certain temperature and I would also like information to be sent to a website. This unit would preferably be one that would mount to the side of the pool or can be tethered to the side of the pool, submerged at all times. I know this is a tall order, especially with the website. I have had a hard time finding anything like this, but if someone here knows anything it would be greatly appreciated.

I can only say welcome to TFP!
Wish I could tell you I had an answer, but can't say Ive heard about anything that would fit that bill.

Coincidentally, I was just looking for something smarter than the wireless pool thermometer I just bought at Home Depot, which works fine but I'd like some long term logging so I can track effects of covers and season -- this is one I saw:

Amazon has it for $120 or so. Reviews are mixed, with reliability and software issues, but might be worth looking at.

I've not used the wet probe unit yet, but I do run the dry probe La Crosse units around the house for other temperature monitoring and alerting needs.

You also need the internet gateway unit to make these work. There is a yearly fee for the alerting ability. It's per unit but not a lot of money. No pH monitoring, but maybe this will do what you need?
I see they also now have a leak/water detection unit. I think I will pick that up and stick it in our water heater tray. But that is to detect a presence of water, not a lack thereof, so probably not what you were looking for.

thanks for your input guys. the epool system looks like what i need. I would need to do more research on the lacrosse system, it appears to piggy back off an existing lacrosse system.
