Well I tried changing the temperature probe... It went down by 100C and indicated 88 instead of 25... It was worth a try.
Cheers,

Thanks Rick.
I have some spare units. I will change the temperature probe tonight. I will keep you posted... I love these things and I do not discount this could be from my end. I've already ordered 30 replacement probe as I did not like one type I got. It didn't seemed to be as waterproof as the others. I got them for 75 cents a piece.

Well I'm comfuse now... I got a new batch and just for the fun I installed anothet temperature probe on the defective unit. Well guess what.... it works perfectly. So yes Rick you were right its the probe. One thing I did notice was the size of the wires were thicker.
Cheers
Fred
I got the probe from ebay.
There are numerous sellers...
Rick, should the probe go in the sump or in the DT?

I would think either would work with the DT being preferred? I don't have any sumps myself.

Gotcha. I also have one of those alert monitor probes that I could just stick in the sump as well for redundancy. Thanks Rick. I swapped out the polarity btw. Turns out I had it the other way around. I know you said it doesn't matter, but I was tweaking stuff today anyways.

Can you give me how you searched for these probes? I can find some of them, but not enough to really compare. Thanks!

Thanks, Fred. Looks like a good deal.

Tested out the controller this past weekend. Worked like a charm. Steady readings too. Thanks Rick. This was one of the cheaper, yet more imporant factors of my build.

Quick question I want to get one of these and found this one in eBay that is in Fahrenheit, is this a pro or a con ? I see you all have celsius ? Before I buy it I want to make sure. http://http://m.ebay.com/itm/10A-110V-Digital-Temperature-Controller-Thermocouple-58-194-Fahrenheit-US-/121314210967?nav=SEARCH
Thanks, I seem to be having a hard time keeping my tank at 82. Going to get 2 titanium heaters probably 2 800w or 1000w Won Brothers and run two controllers. My sump is in my basement and it gets cold down there and even insulating the sump I still have a hard time heating even with 3 400w heaters seams like they run 24/7. I want to try and make the heating more stable. This controller sounds like a good idea for those heaters.
