Temperature for pools and lakes

How this works

  1. We send you a sensor.
  2. You put the long dangly bit in your water (keeping the other bit out).
  3. The sensor sends readings to the server by magic (pssssst: the mobile phone network).
  4. We get the weather for you because we can.
  5. We provide an API for your website to call.
    1. Not ready for that? We provide you with a page like this out the box. (Although, unless you own Crummock Water, you may choose a different background.)
    2. Ready for the API thingy to your own website, but don't know how? We can advise, work with your developers or simply make it happen.
  6. You get access to our web based admin screens, to view sensor updates and API usage.
  7. Your swimmers get a live view of your water temperature. And that, my friend, is cool.
Important note
Our aim is to provide a useful service that your swimmers want. If you decide that this isn't for you, just return the sensor and you don't pay a single £.

About My Water Live

One winter day, I was taking the temperature at Tooting BEC Lido when someone asked "Do you log your readings anywhere?". Except for my Strava activity descriptions, I didn't.

Wouldn't that be a good idea? So, I got thinking and talking to people. Within days, the idea became live readings for pools and lakes so that nobody ever had to take a reading or share a log and you'd know what you're in for before leaving your cosy home.

This wasn't done anywhere. I found that some pools and lakes have set up bespoke systems to show current temperature. Others, show the current temperature on their websites, but with systems that require manual input. It was complicated.

It was time to make it simple.
