How can I keep my pool thermometer from going into the skimmer?

The thermometer comes with a leash that can be attached to the side of the pool. I don't have any place that it can tie to. It keeps getting sucked into the skimmer.

Get creative: tie it to chair leg, a garden sculpture, an inflatable toy, or the pool ladder.
Hi Rachelmimi,
I don't know what kind of pool you have but was thinking that you could tie a weight to the end of the thermometer leash and drop it over the side of the pool. (for an above ground pool). You might have to add length to the leash with rope so that it goes down to the ground and doesn't pull the thermometer out of the pool. If it's an inground pool, you could do something similar by adding something heavy to your poolside decor. I hope this helps. Wishing you the best.
Hi Rachel,
Can you tie it to a float tube?
Use a command strip to anchor it. If it has the metal hook, maybe you can tie it to the hook. Otherwise they have larger rounded holders where you could tie off to the thinnest part. https://www.command.com/3M/en_US/command/products/~/Command-Outdoor-Stainless-Steel-Wire-Hooks/?N=5924736+3292126704+3294529207&preselect=8719410+3293786499&rt=rud
