What This Model Is For
The FT082T is a waterproof pool thermometer sensor designed to measure water temperature in outdoor pools, spas, and leisure facilities. It transmits readings every 16 seconds over a 433MHz link to a compatible console, with a range of up to 50m in open air and around 30m under typical site conditions. The sensor uses four AAA cells for power and is built to operate in outdoor environments from -40 to +60 degrees C, ensuring reliable performance across seasons and climates.
- Measures water temperature directly in the pool, not air, for accurate readings
- 433MHz transmission reaches 50m in open air, suitable for most residential and commercial pool sites
- Operates reliably in extreme temperatures from -40 to +60 degrees C
- Uses four AAA cells with no solar assist, so no need for panel maintenance
- Supports up to eight channels, allowing multiple sensors on one console
Where It Is Used
- Residential pools where owners want real-time water temperature without a wired sensor
- Commercial pools and spas needing a low-maintenance temperature monitor
- Leisure centres and marinas integrating water temperature into a central display
- Outdoor hot tubs and swim spas in cold climates where freezing is a risk
- Smart home integrations where pool temperature feeds into a central monitoring system
Who It Is For
- Pool and spa equipment brands adding temperature monitoring to their product line
- Leisure and wellness facility operators replacing wired sensors with wireless
- Home automation integrators adding pool data to a central dashboard
- Distributors selling pool accessories that require real-time temperature feedback
- Marine and outdoor equipment suppliers bundling sensors with control systems
Problems It Solves
- Wireless sensors that fail when submerged or exposed to pool chemicals
- Temperature readings taken from air instead of water, leading to inaccurate data
- RF links that drop out beyond 20m, requiring a gateway or cabling
- Sensors that cannot operate in sub-zero temperatures, limiting winter use
- Systems that only support one sensor, making multi-zone monitoring impossible
Technical Features
- Measures water temperature directly with a probe designed for immersion
- 433MHz one-way transmission with 16-second update interval
- Temperature range from -40 to +60 degrees C, accurate to plus or minus 1 degree C
- Transmission range of 50m in open air, around 30m under most conditions
- Supports up to eight channels on a single console for multi-sensor setups
- Battery-powered with four AAA 1.5V alkaline or lithium cells, not included
- Housing designed to withstand outdoor exposure and water immersion

Materials and Construction
- Moulded plastic housing for the sensor body
- Weather sealed outdoor enclosure for the electronics
- Battery compartment sized for 4 x AAA cells
How It Is Made
Sensor sub-assemblies are populated and soldered on our own assembly line
Probe and housing are sealed and tested for waterproof integrity
Housings are checked on rainfall and waterproof test equipment
Every unit is ageing tested before it leaves the factory
Quality Control
- Rainfall and waterproof testing on the assembled sensor
- Constant temperature and humidity chamber runs covering the -40 to +60 degrees C range
- Vibration testing to simulate transport and installation stress
- Smog ageing to verify housing and seal durability
- Final ageing test on every unit before packing
Customisation Options
- Own-label printing and retail packaging
- Console pairing to a customer's existing UCTECH-protocol display
- Alternative battery configurations on request
- Manual and quick start guide in the destination language
Compared With the Alternatives
vs Wired pool temperature sensors
No cable trenching or conduit required, but has a battery life limit and a 50m range ceiling
vs Sensors with solar assist
No solar panel means no maintenance, but battery life is shorter than solar-assisted models
vs LoRa-based sensors
433MHz is lower cost and sufficient for a single pool; LoRa is better for large sites with multiple sensors
Use Guide
- Install the sensor in the pool water, away from jets and return lines
- Ensure the sensor is fully submerged and not exposed to direct sunlight
- Use lithium cells if operating below freezing temperatures
- Pair the sensor with the console before submerging it
- Check the battery level and housing seal at the start of each season
FT082T Pool Thermometer Sensor Questions
What is the real range between the sensor and the console
50m in open air. Through walls, foliage, or a pool deck, plan for around 30m, which covers most residential and commercial pool setups.
How often does it update
Every 16 seconds, which ensures timely feedback without overwhelming the console.
Does it work in freezing temperatures
Yes. It operates from -40 to +60 degrees C, so it can be used in cold climates and winter months.
Can it support multiple sensors on one console
Yes. It supports up to eight channels, so you can monitor multiple pools or zones with one display.
What is the lead time and minimum order
Tell us the quantity and target ship date and we will confirm both by email. Lead time depends on whether own-label printing and packaging are involved.
Which certifications does it carry
TBC. Ask us for the current certificate set for your destination market before you place the order.
