Hello, I'm seeing a number of posts about reliability issues with the Inkbird (I assume referring to their prebuilt modules). Would building my own with their ITC-1000 controller be more reliable (or less reliable)? Any stories of ITC-1000 failures on here?
 
For one , it would not have loose wire issues like some premade units
 
I use the Aqualogic on 4 systems. Very accurate and no issues.
