Some of the monitoring eqiupment on our ponds can cost serious money but Val and I came up with a relitvely cheap way to monitor our ponds temperature 24/7 365 days a year .
After seeing a device that remotely monitors the temperature of koi ponds we thought what a great idea .
Problem is, we asked it worth the money paid for it ?
More than probably yes but we thought hey you know I recon we can find a way to do this for one hell of alott less ( I mean money tight nowadays isnt it ), so why fork out alott of money to remotely monitor your ponds temperature .
The solution buy a swimming pool remote floating thermometer instead so we bought one making sure that it had rounded edges so as not to damage our koi .
Amazon does the exact same one for £47.00 but.more importantly it can be bought online from China at £24.00. :-
