Title: wireless thermometer
Post by: phonetech430 on October 14, 2012, 07:37:04 AM

Does any one have any suggestions on a wireless temperature device to monitor the water temps. I know that central boiler makes one (hard wired) that installs in line but i don't really what to cut my lines. New member getting ready to start second heating season. Thanks :)

Have you tried google.  I suspect they are around but may be a pricey option.

Get a Maverick ET732 wireless heat probe and attach the probe  to pex or metal water line either on the OWF or the heat exchanger and insulate it.  It will be very close to the water temperature

I bought one on E-Bay last winter, around $30. The probe is on my supply line on the back of my furnace  and the monitor is on a stand by  my recliner. works good.

There is a dual probe version too, so you can see in and out temps, it is fun.  Has alarm features that are useful too.
