An extension cord and wire that one? I have to modify it by wiring lol? Maybe I should just get an apex that essentially is the same but better right ?
My question is what did you use to waterproof the Ranco temperature probe?
I have my heater on an Apex right now. Worrying about killing the Apex outlet the heater is on!
Thanks.....
You don't want to the controller to be on, and the heater not. Let the controller do the work and the heater as backup. If the controller is on, then the heater needs to be heating... not the other way around. This is why you set the heater slightly higher.
Also, put the temp probe of the heater in the tank, not the sump. If you have multiple heaters, then I like to put one in the tank so that if I lose my return pump, the tank still stays warm. This redundancy along with flow pumps being on separate outlets as the return pump can save a tank.
