This looks interesting - how big is your pool in gallons?
How did you mount the box, flat or vertical?  What did you do with the box in the winter?  There is a vast amount of snow where I live....
Any further suggestions would be great - A

Using a car thermostat rated at 160 F will begin to open around 100 F anyway. The 160 Rating is when it is fully open.
