those water heater thermostats . . .

[ThreeBoysChicks]

I have been using 2 water heater thermostats in my bator and hatcher for over a year now and have really not had any issues. My thermometer in them flucuates between 99 and 101 in both.

I like this explanation about the temp swings.
Makes sense that of course there will be fluctuations if the heat is not being trapped properly.

Mine has been running for about 18 hrs, and is locked at 100.
the light is turning on and off properly.

My thermometer has a high and low for the day, and it hasnt gone above 101 or below 98, and I think those temps were from last night when I was first messing with it.
Ill clear the stored temps now to see what happens today.

Thanks everybody for chiming in here, so far I say I am satisfied.

I like mine, NO problems. If you are getting a big swing in on/off temps then you haven't set it up right to begin with. I have no temp difference in the wiggler probe between on and off, actual air is a 2 degree difference.

It held all day with a low of 99 and a high of 100.

Its right on the $!!!

I think the cooler helps too, its one of those "they dont make em like they used to" items.
