What customers say
Customers appreciate this essential OEM replacement sensor for its straightforward installation and seamless compatibility with Pentair automation systems like EasyTouch. When working, it delivers accurate temperature readings vital for pool and spa management. However, the core issue revolves around long term reliability. Many users report premature sensor failure, often within a few seasons. This recurring need for replacement, combined with the cost of the proprietary part, causes significant frustration and diminishes the overall perceived value. While initial performance is excellent, the short lifespan dampens enthusiasm, suggesting durability improvements are needed.
