I bought this one back in 2022 for $8.50+ tax.
It tends to not stay vertical so measure temperature on surface/air, not 6 inch down.
The gasket to protect the battery did not last long and there was some water intrusion behind the display.
Not clear what the solar panel is doing as we still had to press a button to get it to display something.
So, cheap but unlikely to last more than a season.

This one doesn't display the temperature until you push the button which seems to annoy many reviewers. The other issues are accuracy and it breaking after a short period of time (makes sense with it being exposed to chlorine and sun constantly).

Solar panel exposure to sun and chlorine = breaking down fast, you are lucky if you get a season out of it

Most pool skimmer lids have holes on the top. Buy this and you can just leave it in the water 24/7. No rust and flat for the feet.

these things are shit. think mine lasted a few months before I couldnt read the lcd panel anymore. not sure if it was from sitting in direct sunlight but the screen looked like it was baked in an oven. Also, before the screen melted the temp seemed to be wildly off most of the time.
