Take pretty much any sensor, and encase it in either Silicon Rubber, or
Epoxy.  I have a temperature sensor IC (looks like a small transistor) in my
hot tub with some 5-minute epoxy globbed around it and the connections.
Been working fine for over 2 years.

Subject: Thoughts on HotTub Temp Sensor


Does anyone have a temp sensor for their HotTub?  I had a recent fluke
where the temp went too high.  The electric went off then on quickly and
the temp sensor stuck.  This was all while it was going through it's
morning cycle.  I could have thrown in a few vegetables and made soup.

My thought was to put a sensor in a pvc tube and throw in something to give
it some weight and cap it at both ends..... then drop it in the water.
Anyone have any suggestions?
