What is this talk about Winter!

I am still waiting for Summer. We put a pool in, in mid-july. I have been in
it 11 times. *sigh*

BV.


At this point, I think you're going to have to wait for next summer. That is,
unless you plan to join the Polar bear Club. lol

Unfortunately, due to circumstances beyond our control, Summer has been

considering a cap, and August insists that it's his God-given right to have
32 sunny days if he wants.

BV,

Use number 2. An indoor outdoor digital thermometer has a long lead on the
outdoor sensor, and it should be waterproof, so just tie it to a measuring
pole and submerge to a depth and read. I can't think of any better ideas.

1. A piece of PVC with aquarium syle stick on thermometers placed at

regular
intervals. I would place this in the pond and then retrieve and take
readings as neccessary.

2. Buy a single water proof probe. Attach it to a stick, and take
measurements by placing it into the pond at different depths.

3. A better idea that RichToybox will suggest.

Heck, I've been in the POND more than that. Knee deep only, of course.

Funny during work hours it was hot and swimmy weather. Every day at 5:30pm
it seemed to get awful.

I would expect it to be water resistant not waterproof.
I'd add a coat of epoxy...
