Welcome to our forum.
keep those pics coming. got any more of the artesian and your setup?
QuoteQuoteHow odd - the FedEx guy just delivered that exact same one to me a few hrs ago.The warranty insert says it has a 12 month warranty - the customer care # is 800.853.8883. Maybe they'll give you a refund?Mine is going in the tub in a few minutes. How long did yours last before it failed? Will give a report on mine after it has seen some water time.Please let us know how yours does. I am very interested in one of these. Did you get these two units?http://www.ambientweather.com/orscbawipoan.htmlNo I didn't get teh whole setup - just wanted the thermometer to guage how accurate the onboard one is. So far, they have been the same, but the little one gives 1/10th degrees too so while the tub may read 100o, the little one reads 100.6o. So far, so good. Used tub last night - left thermometer in - & it still works. Might take it out today, let it completely dry, & add a touch of silicone to the screws & reinstall them. If those are the weak link, maybe that will fix it.QuoteSlight thread hijack - my current floating (ducky) thermometer keeps ending up in the filter well. Any issue with him or this wireless until living in there? I don't want to screw up my filtration. I have 2 plastic blanks where the speakers would go if I had the sound option. I "flossed" the tether under one of those so it can float around a few feet, but stays on the other side of tub from filter & away from more powerful jets.

OK, for those interested, here are some pics of a way to keep an eye on your spa temp from inside the house. The sensor is good for around 100' from the base unit, 2 3AAA batteries last over a year (I've had it almost 2 years now without changing yet.)Here is the base unit. Notice the 2nd row always displays indoor temp and humidity, and the 6th row displays the choosen remote sensor. The spa is 'out 2', the wine cooler is 'out 1' and outside temp & humidity is 'out 3) - you cycle through them by pressing the 'Ch' (channel) button on the lower right.The spa sensor is temp only, thus the blank 'RH' (humidity.) The wine cooler and outside sensor show both temp and humidity.Here is the sensor attached to the glass block upper left (wire to the themocouple, wireless to the main unit):And now the thermocouple, you can see it is plastic covered, and cannot scratch anything. The wire is thin enough to have no effect on the spa cover.And the deck display, showing the same temp (minus the decimal):Hope this helps,John FLV, NV
QuoteI've had it a couple of years now, and don't remember which web site I bought it from. Mine does not hook to the internet, although they did have (more expensive) ones that did. By now I'm sure ones similar to it do for the same price I paid for mine back then. It came with 1 remote, I purchased 2 more. Just do a search 'weather station' and you'll have plenty to look at. Or, look at the LaCrosse web site for a start.Oh, the high / low temp alarms, they only work for ONE remote sensor. I decided that my wine cooler was more important to get blared at if temps get out of whack than the spa, so I chose that one.I've got more $ invested in wine than the spa (even though that is just south of 7k), so I want to know if somethling goes haywire with it...John FLV, NVI hear ya! No wine cellar here so the min/max alarm would be for spa. From the pics I found your unit (Lacrosse WS-9119U). The one remote that comes with it doesn't have a probe but could be used outside, etc.:The remote for the spa would need to be purchased...the one with the wire probe sensor (Lacrosse TX3UP):I may buy it here: http://www.ambientweather.com/lacrtewsinwi.htmlOne more question. A couple of websites recommend AA and AAA Lithium batteries rather than plain Alkaline. It says it helps especially with outside remotes. Do you use the Lithium variety?Thanks for the info,Marc

Barshnik,We are in Northern NJ and in the winter low temps can get down to zero so I will use the lithium inn the outdoor remotes. Since the inside unit is indoors no reason to splurge on the lithiums unless it would help in the wireless reception, which I don't think it would. One final question...how do you keep the thermocouple from floating up to the surface of the tub? Or does that even matter?Thanks again,Marc
QuoteSlight thread hijack - my current floating (ducky) thermometer keeps ending up in the filter well. Any issue with him or this wireless until living in there? I don't want to screw up my filtration.I've had the same floating ducky spa thermometer (sans the ducky) in my filter well of my Prodigy for over ten years. It still works fine and has never caused a problem hidden back in there. Its the SPA version that goes up to 120 degrees, rather than a pool one that only goes up to about 110. I agree the pool thermometers are hard to read that far up the scale.
