Summer Gadgets Countdown #14: Floating Pool Thermometer with Remote Digital Display
Let's face it, technology is great, but it can make us way too lazy!! But sometimes, you just don't want to experience shock when you stick your toes into the water and feel 50-degree water. With this device, you'll know the temperature before you even step out of your house.
Design: Made by Sharper Image, the Floating Pool Thermometer comes with a wireless transmitter, allowing you to check your pool's temperature from 100 feet away, without having to go outside.
Features: A 433MHz wireless transmitter that displays the following: water temperature plus room temperature, humidity, high/low temperature alert, and temperature-trend indicators.
How It Works: The thermometer floats in the pool while the transmitter displays the temperature without you having to go in to the pool. It runs on 2 AA-batteries (not included).
Price: The Floating Pool Thermometer sells for $69.95.

Even if I would have no use for it, I can definitely see how cool that could be floating in your pool, or using it to find out whether or not your hot tub is ready to soak in. Seriously, this set of pieces is making me wish I had a pool more and more. :)
