Is there anyway to make this scale waterproof?

Dear Amy hello,First month I made it waterproof by covering with transparent sticky film. But later as i saw it required no additional cover. Product made properly, so don't worry about water spilling.

I've found that it's really only vulnerable to water intrusion from the bottom. I've had two spills on mine; the first one did no damage, but the second shorted out the batteries. A puddle formed underneath the scale and water wicked up into the battery compartment. I pulled the batteries and dried it out the best that I could and then let it sit for a day before trying to power it back up; luckily it's been working fine since then.I recommend getting some rubber feet for it to raise it up off the counter a bit more than it's own feet do. That will prevent any water that gets under the scale from wicking up into the electronics areas. I've found that it's really only vulnerable to water intrusion from the bottom.

Your question is almost same as mine. Now I am using it and I pour the hot water to this scale by mistake several times. But it is working well now. So, there is no problem for ordinary using. And if you can use the drip station from Hario (acrylic model) with this scaler, the drip station may cover almost open area. Happy Brewing!!

Not aware of one. Put it in a ziploc bag? But I spilled coffee on it and it fried the circuitry

The tray can be removed, the inaccuracy of the scale, though, cannot. My Can't Weigh Gem20 is in a landfill somewhere.

Hi. I'm not familiar with the requirements of the WW scales. But anytime you want an accurate reading, getting on barefoot is the best option. I would imagine this is why the instructions insist that you don't get on with wet feet. The scale bed is glass and slippery when wet.

got mine set up. Once in a while (I'm guessing perhaps 1 every 5 times) I will have to step off and back on to get the scale to register that I want to be weighed.have not mounted it to the wall yet.the manual mentions slightly damp feet, not wet. I tried it without dampening my feet at all, and it seemed to work.

Yes, you should be able to. I would just be careful because the front of the scale is actually glass.

Hi Natalie, I have purchased 11 of these scales between Amazon and Costco for commercial use, I have had one that has done the same thing. It is a defective scale, return it.

Mine is always 4 pounds off and I don't know how to fix it. It zeros itself each time I use it , but then is 4 pounds off one way or the other. I think it is just a bad scale. I am going to get a different scale from a different company. Sorry I couldn't help.

No. I glued the probe to the inside of an aluminum cigar tube and tried to waterproof that. You can also look for a stainless steel temperature probe that is linear and use the built in temperature offset

This like the majority of others isn't made to be waterproof, the intent is weight savings. They have a rain cover available for that purpose.

That's where we keep our scale. The surface seems to be tempered glass, and impervious to a few drops of water or steam.

There's no way. It's supposed to be auto calibrated. Mine was always off by 20 to 30 pounds. Never the same amount, though. Worst scale ever.

I don't think so. You can buy diving belts that are waterproof. The weights in the belt look like they're made of iron. Good luck.

try taking the batteries out for a minute. replace the batteries set the scale on a hard surface, put your foot on it and press down 00 should appear. take your foot off and it should be ready to go.

John,It does not come off to clean it, At least not that I know of. However, I have wax paper I put down on top of the scale before I put anything on it to weigh it. Makes cleaning up easier =)

One never weighs material on scale directly, one has to buy small wax paper or other weighing paper. As far as not staying on , it should stay on as long as you are weighing something. It will turn off once the scale isn't being used

I would not recommend any attempt to waterproof the probe. Buy a thermowell(a waterproof metal tube sealed on one end and open on the other) and insert the temperature probe into it to measure temperature underwater. You need to use 316 stainless for a salt water aquarium and 304 for fresh water according to a thermowell manufacturer. You will need some way to mount it also. Here are examples for Homebrew use to give you an idea. https://www.brewershardware.com/Thermowells/ . One thing to note, by default if the sensor fails the relay fails shut. You can adjust this in the settings. See the manual. In my case of cooling Homebrew, the freezer would stay on indefinitely, thus freezing the wort. In your case the heater may stay on raising the temp too high. Again, check the manual for your specific application.

I've called them regarding their warranty. It is lifetime but it is also limited. For example, if it came in contact with water that would void the warranty. (I got mine sticky and washed it in the kitchen sink. After that my scale did not work but it also wasn't covered by the warranty.) Call them, they'll put in the id number from the bottom and tell you what is covered. The people I spoke to were very nice about it.
