Compool Solar System - how to install a REMOTE Temp Sensor?

[cody21]

We have a COMPOOL Solar unit. It has 2 sensors - one for up on the roof and one that is inserted into the J-Valve to control when the solar is on or off. It functions perfectly.

I'd like to be able to know the Pool Temperature; ideally inside the house. Is there a method or attachment to be able to do this? I was hoping something RFID or AA-battery powered. I don't want to have to run a hard wire from the pool house if possible.

Thanks in advance.

I just use this. I have a sensor in the pool and another in my spa.

Thanks -- we had one from Oregon Scientific. After 3 years it died. Not wanting to get another "base" & remote Sensor like that again. Would rather somehow tap into our COMPOOL SOLAR unit if possible.

I had the Oregon one too. This one is much better. Been using it about five years and only had to replace one sensor. But I fully understand your wanting to remotely monitor the existing sensor. They all use the same resistance sensor, so if there is a simple way, I would also be interested.
