Inkbird Wireless Floating Pool Thermometer

Summer days are for swimming, relaxation, and making memories - yet nothing disrupts the perfect pool day faster than plunging into water that’s too cold (or too hot). The Inkbird IBS‑P01R Wireless Floating Pool Thermometer with Indoor Monitor solves this problem by giving you instant, reliable temperature readings from both inside and outside your home. Here’s why it’s a game‑changer for any pool owner.

Why a Wireless Pool Thermometer Matters

• Safety & Comfort

  Young children and older swimmers can be particularly sensitive to temperature extremes. By knowing your pool’s exact temperature, you’ll avoid unpleasant surprises and keep everyone safe and comfortable.

  
  

• Energy Efficiency

  If you run a heater or heat pump, monitoring the water temperature helps you decide when to switch systems on or off - saving on energy costs.

  
  

• Chemical Management

  Sanitizers like chlorine work differently at various temperatures. Tracking temperature trends helps you anticipate chemical adjustments and maintain crystal‑clear water.

  
  

Key Features of the IBS‑P01R:

1. Long‑Range Wireless Connectivity

With a one‑way RF link that reaches up to 300 ft (91 m) in open areas, the IBS‑P01R lets you check pool temperature from indoors without lugging equipment outside.

2. Dual‑Unit System: Transmitter + Indoor Receiver

• Floating Transmitter

  • Contact‑Type Probe for rapid readings

  • IPX7‑Rated Waterproof housing keeps the unit safe even if submerged

  • Visible LCD Display shows temperature in real time

    
    

• Indoor Receiver

  • Built‑in Hygrometer displays ambient humidity, ideal if you also use indoor spas or hot tubs

  • Mounts easily on any flat surface or countertop

    
    

3. Fast, Accurate Readings

The contact‑type probe delivers reliable measurements across a wide range - from –40 to 158 °F (–40 to 70 °C) - with an accuracy of ±1.8 °F (±1 °C) and 0.1° resolution.

4. Multi‑Channel Monitoring

One receiver can pair with up to three IBS‑P01R floating transmitters. Monitor different spots in larger pools or compare temperatures in spa and pool setups by switching channels (CH 1–CH 3) or viewing all three sequentially in CH 8 mode.

5. Fog‑Resistant LCD

Outdoor conditions can cause condensation on screens. Inkbird’s fog‑resistant display ensures you’ll always see clear, legible temperature readouts—even on humid mornings.

Pro Tips for Optimal Performance

• Shaded Placement

  Float the transmitter in a shaded section to avoid sun‑warmed surface readings.

  
  

• Secure It

  Attach a lightweight tether or suction cup to prevent drifting if your pool has a strong circulation system.

• Regular Maintenance

  Rinse the probe and housing with fresh water every two weeks to remove chlorine deposits and extend lifespan.

  
  

• Winter Care

  Before freezing temperatures arrive, remove, dry, and store both units in a cool, dry place to prevent battery leakage and cracking.

  No more dipping your toes or guessing—get precise data in seconds from the comfort of your lounge chair or living room.

  
  

• Family‑Friendly

  Ensure safe swim conditions for kids and seniors alike by keeping the water at an optimal temperature range.

  
  

• Cost Savings

  Track how quickly your heater warms the pool and avoid unnecessary runtime.
