(More customer reviews)Update 4/8/11: I found an improved wireless pool sensor at the local Home improvement store called Acu-Rite model 00617. The Acu-Rite design seems to address the leaky case. The Acu-Rite has 5 screws that hold the top seal instead of just screwing on. The base unit shows a temp graph for the last few hours and days, plus it shows the wireless signal strength. And it costs half the price of this one.
I love this little device. My pool is about 100 feet away from the receiver and displays the temp near the door (before going outside) where everyone can see it. Aesthetically it looks really nice floating in the pool and it comes with a string that I attached to the side of the pool, so it can be docked where you want it. Switch the display mode to show either indoor temp or one of the sensor channels. If you buy this, also order a pair of Lithium AA batteries (according to the manual Lithium AAs are OK, better withstand freezing temps if you live in a cold area, and last much longer than regular batts).
Update: after 2 months in the pool it stopped working. I openend up the unit to find rusty color droplets of water inside - it is leaking somehow. I was surprised because initially I had a very good product impression and I thought maybe the other reviewers just had bad luck. But this leak problem must be very common. I am going to see if I can get it replaced under warranty and when the replacement arrives I may add some silicone sealant to "fix" the factory design problem on my own. It is a truly nice product which has an unfortunate fatal design/manufacturing error.

Never jump into freezing water again! The floating water sensor displays the temperature of your pool from up to 328 feet away so you always know exactly what the temperature is. The receiver displays indoor temperature/humidity plus temperature trend/battery condition. Includes 3 channels so optional transmitters may be added to expand your system.
