Hotspring Temperature display panel question

[Gomboman]

I would like to read the actual water temperature from my HS Envoy. Has anyone rigged up a separate temperature controller that reads actual temperature real time?  Better yet, I wish there was a "Hop Up Kit" that would work with the IQ 2020.

Am I the only geek who would like to do this?

Radio Shack used to have a cool little thermometer which had indoor/outdoor temp readings. The outdoor temp was taken from a little probe which was on the end of a length of small wire.

I just checked, and they seem to have gone to a wireless model for a bit more money: $39.97 for a Model: 63-1089
Catalog #: 63-1089


That would be the easiest way to get a realtime readout of the spa temp.

As to modifying the panel, I don't know of a way to make it read the current water temp, but if the green light is on, it is usually within a degree of the set temp.

The IQ2020 does have the capability of reading temp.  They just don't tell us how.

I have a factory calibrated digital thermal probe and tested the accuracy of my Hotsprings tub. I found that the temperature was approximately 2 degrees hotter than it was set for. This was a consistant reading taken over a few days.

I then took 2 different pool thermometers and tried them also...they too, read about 2 degrees higher than the tubs' setting.

Not a big deal to me...but it just tells me that the tub isn't that accurate.
