Are the probes water proof?

I used my probe to check water temperature and now it does not work. I would say you should not use this probe to check liquids.

You need not to immerse the probes in water, rather slightly wet a paper towel and clean the probe. I ran my probe under the water causing the probe not to register in the thermometer. We ordered additional probes, all works well now.

I can't state for certain whether they are waterproof or not; however, I've used this tool many times and it is still working as well as the day I bought it. I don't immerse the probe fully into water, I simply soak and rinse the probe with hot soapy water and rinse.

can't exactly say but they must be, at least up to where the cable joins the probe. meat is wet after all!

Wash probe by hand being careful NOT to immerse in water. So the answer is NO. :)

While I do use this probe to monitor water temp, I don't fully immerse it, as the wire behind the metal portion of the probe is covered in plastic & I don't want it to melt. If I use it to monitor other food temperatures, just wipe off the metal part of the probe & don't let the plastic touch anything hot, like pots, pans, etc. Shorter answer: I don't know & haven't tried to find out.

I have never used the probes up to this temp but I think they may need to be encased in something to protect them. I would think one of the long pointed probes which are available would work better. I have only used the provided probes attached to the outside of a hot pipe to measure its temp.

As best can tell .. Yes but keep in mind I haven't tried them under water to prove it.. They do work very well and are easy to mount and to hook up.

Yes they are waterproof. They have a heavy backing that keeps furniture completely dry. Very good quality.

I don't think these were designed for underwater exploration I think they're more just saying they're waterproof for your vehicle but it wouldn't hurt to try

Yes. I put the probe tip in ice water and got the reading down as low as 35° F. Just don't get the entire probe wet or it will short out.

I don't know about water proof. By they can withstand being outdoors. I've got mine in the front of my boat on the railing. They get splashed on lightly and rained on. They work and sound pretty good

None are "waterproof", they are allwater resistant or water repellent.There are of course actual water proof devices, but they are sold in sciencespecific stores, not Microcenter or Apple.

Honestly we never really used them near water, however we did use them in wet weather.They work just fine.

I don't see why it would not work. The probe is weather proof. As long as you don't have to seal it air tight.

No, they are just like regular address labels. I have never tried to see if they are waterproof, but they are the same material as a normal address label.

They do appear to be waterproof or at least water resistant...I have used them for many months and they have been great. They can be wiped off if liquid is spilled on them, but they are not crinkly or uncomfortable.

i don't think so. it doesn't mention that they're waterproof nor does it look like they are either.

I would not trust them to be waterproof. There is no indication from the mfg. that they are.

The module is not waterproof, but u can put the probe in the tank and it will work fine.

The probe is as pictured. I found if you put shrink wrap at the connection of the probe and wire it will last longer. If the smallest amt of water gets in that connection it will not work

Yes, but hard to judge the long term affects. If you're asking whether or not you can submerge the electrode housing it is not designed to be water tight. As such corrosion could occur with internal electronic connections after a period of time. The metal probe extensions are a rust resistant alloy and do not corrode with neutral pH liquids. Can you provide more specifics about your application?
